Bet Online Poker Review

Bet Online Poker Promotions

It wasn't too long ago when Bet Online had some of the weakest promotions available for their players especially when it came to their poker room.  Thankfully, that is no longer the case at all, now the Bet Online Poker room has one of the better new player bonuses for their new poker players.
    New sign-ups will be able to claim a 100% poker bonus up to $1000 at the Betonline.ag poker room.  The bonus will be released in $10 increments and will expire after 30 days from your first deposit.  You will need to earn 5000 comp points to release a $10 bonus into your account.  Important:  To receive this bonus you will need to email poker@betonline.ag with the subject line: "NEWBOL" and your username in the body of the email after making your deposit. It may take 48 hours to have the bonus credited into your account.
    After making your first deposit, you will be given an entry into a $10,000 freeroll tournament.  This is a monthly tournament exclusively for first time depositors.  To claim a seat, just make your first deposit at Betonline.ag and you will receive an entry ticket into the $10,000 New Player Freeroll.  Last time we checked, but you should verify for yourself at the Bet Online website, the tournament ran on the second Sunday of each month at 5:00PM Eastern Time.
    There are some regular ongoing promotions and jackpots for the Betonline.ag regular poker players.  There is a Bad Beat Jackpot, a Weekly Sit 'n Go Leaderboard Challenge and a $1,100 Daily Cash Race.
    The Bad Beat Jackpot has gotten as high as $273,382.  The conditions for the bad beat do change from time to time, but last time we checked you would win if you were beaten with a four of a kind that was Jacks or higher.  Other conditions apply such as minimum players needed, a showdown must happen, and both of the hole cards must be used in the winner's and loser's hand.  Please visit their website for the most up to date and accurate details surrounding this jackpot.
    The Sit'n Go Leaderboard Challenge pays out $5,275 on a weekly basis.  You earn points by playing sit'n go tournaments throughout the week.  There are twenty prizes in total with the top five players getting paid out in the following categories, Regular/Turbo, Hyper, Regular/Turbo Heads-Up and Hyper Heads-Up.  First place prize varies from $750 for Regular/Turbo to $250 for Regular/Turbo Heads up.  If you are planning of hitting a leaderboard payout, you may want to stick to one type of sit'n go tournament for the week.
    The Daily Cash Race will payout $1,100 every day.  You will earn points by playing at Betonline.ag cash game tables.  The top three players at each stake level will receive a prize payout.  The six stake levels are $0.05/$0.10, $0.10/$0.25, $0.25/$0.50, $0.50/$1, $1/$2 and $2/$5+.  The first-place payouts range from $30 for the $0.05/$0.10 stakes up to $200 for the $2/$5+ stakes.

Poker Tables

If you are planning of playing at the poker tables here, then you better be prepared to play micro or low limit Texas Holdem.  There are Omaha Poker and Omaha H/L tables, but there is usually no more than two tables with action.  At the Texas Holdem tables, there are 200 to 500 poker players playing during the most of the day.  Most of the play is at the micro stakes, but there are a few tables open for the $0.50/$1.00 and the $1/$2 Texas Holdem tables.  One of the advantages of a rather small cash game community, is that it makes it easier to claim a piece of the Daily Cash Race.  You will earn points at the cash game tables here, which help you to win a part of the $1,100 that is rewarded daily here in their Cash Race.

Poker Tournaments

There isn't much for the high stakes poker player here, but this will be a good place to play micro and low limit poker tournaments.  You will not be playing in many large poker tournaments, but the Bet Online poker room does a decent job of creating their poker schedule to accommodate the player traffic that they do have.
    Playing poker tournaments here, is like going back in time, back before all the large-scale poker rooms were running.  Tournaments typically start every 15 to 30 minutes and almost all of them are Texas Holdem.  Buy-ins are typically $16.50 or less, and whenever there is a higher stake tournament to start, there is typically, but not always a smaller buy-in tournament starting at the same time.  Some of the more popular tournaments here include the Daily Dozen and the Mini Dozen tournaments.  If you are looking to enter a tournament with a large payout, you play in their Sunday Main Event, which has a $60,000 guaranteed prize pool and has a $109 buy-in.
