Founded back in 1997 and formerly known as Betandwin, Bwin is now a part of the GVC brand, based out of Vienna, Austria the Poker site runs on the same network as Party Poker, sharing huge tournaments, great cash game action and other great action games like the Spin games which make millionaires out of Micro-stakes players.

Software

The software is great, the team behind this client offering has really gone the extra mile to produce a top quality product, whichever site you are currently used to playing on, or if you are looking to download your first online poker room, this installment will not leave you disappointed. Everything is completely customisable from the backgrounds, tables, and decks.

Mobile App

Bwin also has an App that is downloadable on IOS and Android where all the usual games can be played with up to four tables running at once. Refreshingly easy to use compared to other Mobile Poker Apps, if this is going to be a feature you are looking to use you will not be disappointed, for any players looking to use their Tablets rather than a computer, this is a great poker room choice.

Cash Games

Bwin has amazing selections of Cash games running from $0.01/$0.02 to $200/$400 Bwin caters for everyone with any bankroll, games on hand include No Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Short Deck Hold’em, Pot-Limit Hold’em and Fixed Limit Hold’em. So nothing here for the Mixed game fans just yet, but catering for the masses with the staple games all provided.

There is a great deal of traffic on the site with regards to cash games, so if this is your ballpark, you will need to take on these players, with softer competition than PokerStars games, there is money to be made.

Speed Poker

Bwin also offers a fast fold version of their cash games with stakes from as low as $0.02/$0.05 and running up to the $2/$5 these are action-packed through all the stakes. With one click of a button simply move on to the next hand, with these games you can play hundreds of hands in no time at all with just one or two tables, rather than having to play many tables to get the same amount of action.

The games not only run for No Limit Hold’em, but for Omaha as well, slightly less popular, but these games do get action from time to time.

Sit n Go’s

These almost seem like a dying part of the poker scene across many other sites these days, however on Bwin Poker there are games filling up around the clock with 9 and 6 handed games getting regular action as well as the usual crowd favorites of the time, the heads up sit n go’s getting plenty of action with games as high as $1050 running often. A good place to learn a solid strategy on early, mid and end game if you are a beginner player, or if you are just looking for a quick game when you don’t have much time on your hands, these are perfect.

Tournaments

Being on the same network as PartyPoker, as you would expect the tournaments are huge! Second only to action on PokerStars, but hot on their heels at that the network hosts massive guarantee series’ such as PowerFest with guarantees of hundreds of thousands.
The team must be well clued up on the poker player’s favourite game types, with the schedule riddled with crowd favourites like Progressive Knockouts, Hyper Turbos, Short handed games and more. Regardless of your bankroll if you like tournament poker, you need to download this Poker Room!

Short deck Hold’em

The team has recently added Short Deck Hold’em to their tables and it is going down a storm. With action running around the clock up to the highest stakes of $1000 buy-ins.
If you haven’t heard about this reletively new game type I suggest you check out the introduction to Short Deck Poker HERE

SPINS

This is Bwin’s answer to 3 handed jackpot sit n go games, with buy-ins starting at just 25 cents and going as high as $250. Once the players register to play, the table a random draw will begin which will decide the total prize pool. These SPINS will make a Millionaire out of just a $5 player!

Rakeback

A great part of this site is that they offer a great Rakeback offer, players receive 2 points for every €1 of rake paid. All players starting to earn 10% as soon as you earn just 5 points, this rakeback percentage increases the more you play on the site, getting as high as 40% once over 2000 points are earnt on the site. Which for most serious players €1000 in rake paid is not a high number, you would then get €400 of this back into your account! Amazing.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Bwin accepts an extensive list of methods for deposits and withdrawals, all the usual credit and debit cards as well as many alternatives including Apple pay, Boleto, CashtoCode, eMONEYSAFE, GiroPay, LuxonPay, MuchBetter, Profee, AstroPay, ecoPayz, GoPlay, Bank Transfer, Moneta, Paypal, Neteller, Skrill, Trustly and Webmoney.
