About Betfair:

BetfairPoker a Very popular UK based poker site with good UK and European traffic & games. BetFair is now on the OnGame Network (2nd largest network online) having originally left the cryptologic network to use it’s own stand-alone software moving back to a network has boosted its traffic and also improved the software platform. Heavy promotion in the UK and to it’s existing base of sportsbook bettors at the BetFair exchange means the average player at the site is weak and therefore has easy to win poker games. Good numbers of easy games and weak beatable players is probably BetFair poker’s best selling point. While the OnGame software is ok recent upgrades have met with a mixed response from players.

Betfair is NOT open to US players and is a European focussed poker room, this is great if you are a UK or European poker player but not so good if you are in other time zones as the player traffic falls off outside of Euro peak times.

Quality of Players:

There are some great games available on BetfairPoker but the easiest ones are generally always in the low-stakes cash games and smaller buy-in tournaments.
It’s worth noting the higher stakes on the Ongame network are frequented by top European players so sometimes it’s better to avoid those games.
That said, it’s possible to find $5/$10 No-Limit Hold’em tables with a viewed-flop percentage of 35-40%.

Graphics:

BetfairPoker runs on Ongame network software, which is a solid platform. It’s also available in 4 languages, making Heypoker a truly international poker room.

Stats functions allow for notes during play and the lobby supplies vital table statistics like viewed-flop percentage, average pot size, seated-player’s stack size and hands played per hour. The hand history function is also excellent, with downloadable files and in-game statistics for cash games and tournaments viewable separately.

The latest version of the BetfairPoker software supports play at 16 tables simultaneously and BetfairPoker is decently suited for multi-table play with clutter-free and easy-to-use software. Graphics are clean and crisp, table functions are easy to learn and well-oriented and there are plenty of customization options.
Avatars are standard and the four-color decks are very nicely designed. The felt is a nice deep red that works well and looks very good. Unique features include the action replay that allows the players to replay hands in a graphic interface and the real-money mobile poker application.
