Betsson Poker Review Review
Now part of Ongame, Betsson Poker has an entire network of players to fill up games, in addition to loose traffic from Betsson’s own casino and sportsbook. With software for PC and Mac available in almost two dozen languages, along with an app for mobile devices, this Scandinavian site with a great loyalty program should continue to be a reliable source of games for some time.
Betsson Poker Bonus
Receive a 100% bonus, up to $1600 at Betsson Poker by entering the code MACPOKER into the “bonus code” field of the sign up form.
Competition
Competition is fairly soft at Betsson’s lower stakes, at least compared to sites like Full Tilt and PokerStars. Betsson is a part of the Ongame Network, so they see a nice flow of traffic and the occasional juicy game at the higher levels.
Customer Service
You can reach Betsson’s representatives 24/7 by way of phone, email, or live chat for some of the most highly rated customer service online.
Deposit & Withdrawal
Betsson offers banking options in the form of VISA, MasterCard, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, clickandbuy, NETeller, UKash, Paysafe and bank transfer.
Poker Tournaments
Betsson hosts a plethora of tournaments daily, from freerolls to $525 buy-ins and higher, most of which being NL Hold’em events. Check out one of the countless Sit and Go tourneys at your fingertips, or maybe check out any of their twice daily events hosted for Russians, Australians, Canadians, Brazilians and Europeans. Betsson poker also hosts the Grand Series of Poker (GSOP) with over a dozen events and guaranteed money in the millions.
Freerolls
Every day Betsson Poker hosts a pair of freeroll tournaments. The daily Omaha event gives away $50, while Betsson dishes out $250 a day in their No Limit Hold’em event, an event that doubles to a $500 freeroll each Sunday.

Betsson Poker spreads Texas Hold’em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha and 5 Card Draw. Each game has variations available, and structure will be Limit, No Limit or Pot Limit.
Software Layout
Betsson’s Ongame skin has seen some graphic upgrades, which means the simple, smooth setup is a little easier on the eyes than in days past. Their Java-based instant software also allows you to play in your browser if you don’t want to download. Betsson has also added a second poker room, Betsson Euro Tables, for those who don’t want to play in USD, and a new mobile program, so you can play cards on the go.
