The Poker Lab Rat

Bet365 Poker (aka Poker365) is rated #1 Online Poker Site for the 3rd Quarter of 2006. Bet365 Poker (the poker arm of leading UK Bookie Bet365 and a leading member of Microgaming’s Prima Poker Network) has held this award for the last 2 consecutive quarters.

Will an online poker room be able to surpass the Bet365 Poker offering and steal Bet365 Poker’s ‘Best Poker Room’ award for Q4?

Ninety four (94) online poker rooms were Lab Tested in Q3 and an incredible one hundred & ten (110) poker rooms have approached PokerLabRat.com to be included in our Q4 ratings. There are some newcomers that look promising (like Betsson Poker) - and a few more long established poker rooms that have implemented serious changes to software, systems, alliances and even business practices that might just put them in the running!

This is far more than a poker shoot-out between Microgaming’s Prima Poker, the Ongame Poker Network and Tribeca Tables Poker and whether proprietary specialised poker offerings such as Full Tilt Poker and Poker.com can cut the mustard.

Our multi-national team of intrepid online poker room assessors perform formal scored analysis across a wide range of ‘nice to have’, ‘must have’ and ‘hell no’ online poker features (see our assessment method summarised HERE).

The assessments of online poker rooms for the 4th quarter are about to start with new reviews, ratings and comments due onsite at PokerLabRat.com in early October. PokerLabRat.com only reviews and recommends the top 10-12 online poker rooms that pass our tests so it’s going to be a busy month!
