Rake at EuroBet Poker is "industry standard". Their systems use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and 128-bit encryption (BT Trustwise and Verisign endorsed).
Eurobet was the first Company to accept bets via the Internet in 1996. In 1999 Eurobet joined forces with Coral, a British bookie with 75+ years experience, to form Coral Eurobet.In 2005, Coral Eurobet was bought by Gala, a major UK gaming & bingo group, to create Europe’s largest betting & gaming company. GalaCoral employs over 17,000 people, has customers in more than 130 countries and manages millions of transactions annually - and in 16 languages! Eurobet Poker is part of the Ongame Network which is licensed and regulated in Kahnawake, Canada.
Instant & Download play options are offered at Eurobet Poker. We had a few minor hassles with both versions loading & running. However - it's well worth persevering. The Ongame Network software is one of the most advanced around & offers gameplay from PC (Windows), Mac and Linux platforms. If you elect to download the software is 5.42MB (about average). The Instant version requires a free Java download if you don't have it already.
The latest EuroBet Poker software release is designed to make play easy. The layout of the poker room lobby and tables is clear and most functions are quick to find. Our testers consider that Eurobet Poker has one of the simplest user interfaces in the industry and play is sleek and reasonably fast. Some of the table customisation options present in the sites that lead our rankings are not available at Eurobet Poker (ie you may end up playing as the old lady or bald guy in the loud shirt!)
A wide range of tournaments are on offer at Eurobet Poker ranging from Lucky $1 buy-ins, single-table tourneys to million dollar multi-table tournaments - 800+ scheduled events weekly. Lots of daily Freerolls, Turbo Tournaments, Guaranteed Prize Tournaments - $1,000,000 guaranteed per week. Host your own private Tournaments. The LabRat team always play in Eurobet Poker $50,000 tournament each Sunday 17:00 UK - see you at a table! Aussie and Canadian Dailies plus a Lucky Dollar Tournament four times a day are a great way to learn the ropes!
NOTE: PokerLabRat.com tested 170 poker rooms this quarter and failed or rejected 93% of them. Eurobet Poker passed with 85 out of a possible 100 points.
This review is not the formal site analysis, just a high level summary of the key aspects we like and don't like about Eurobet Poker.
Eurobet Poker accepts deposits in a range of different currencies but EuroBet Accounts all link through their Sportsbetting system so you need to specifically move funds into Poker chips (or Casino chips or Online Games credits). Deposits and cash outs are processed quickly and without hassle. Most cash outs are processed in a few hours but amounts over $1000 can take up to 24 hours to process. A good range of banking options are available: QuickPay, Visa (not Mastercard as they can't pay out to them), NETeller, MoneyBookers, Citadel, ECOcard, Delta, Solo, Switch & some Visa Electron cards. These currencies are accepted €, £, US$, DKK. NOK, SEK, THB, CZK.
Eurobet Poker offers a multi-level join bonus matching your first deposit up to $600. Playthrough requirements apply for bonus release starting at 7X (or 250 player points). The loyalty scheme at Eurobet Poker is just undergoing a makeover and will be relaunched soon so you can trade poker points for buy-ins, bonuses, etc.

SORRY NO US PLAYERS
Eurobet Poker - WHAT's HOT
Popular UK owned Ongame Poker Network site, European-style rather than US-style poker play, Financially very secure and always pay out, Poker software is quick to download and very stable
Eurobet Poker- WHAT's NOT
Game and player statistics could be better for play analysis, buy-ins for some tournaments comparatively high for the guaranteed prize pools

EUROBET POKER - OVERALL RATING
EuroBet Poker offers poker room action with a solid financial backer and strong support systems in place leveraging their global online bookmaking presence.
You will enjoy playing on Eurobet's Ongame Network platform. It's a good stable high traffic poker room at which to learn to play, refine your skills - or make some money. Some great Daily, weekly and monthly guaranteed tournaments feature in 2009. We especially like the Lucky Dollar Dailies for novices - far more fun than freerolls.
