Joining bonus

Poker BonusIt is in the area of the joining bonus offered where the Betfair mobile poker app stands out in comparison to others on the market.

That is because the size of the bonus simply blows most other companies out of the water.

The welcome package is a 200% matched bonus of your initial deposit up to a maximum of £1500. That bonus is released incrementally depending on how much you spend via Betfair poker and you have 45 days in which to earn enough ‘Status Points’ for the release of your whole bonus amount.

How Good is Mobile Poker at Betfair?

In order to assess just how good any mobile poker app is, it is important to consider a few vital elements and how they compare with similar competing apps. Three of the most important of those elements are undoubtedly the compatibility of the app, the usability of the app’s software and any other ongoing promotions available to customers:

Compatibility

CompatibilityThe Betfair poker app is compatible with mobile devices and tablets that run on both iOS and Android operating systems but the way in which to access the app does differ between those two types of device.

For iOS devices, downloading the app is as simple a process. All you need to do is tap this link mpoker.betfair.com to visit the site and you’ll be automatically asked if you want to download the app or not (best to make an account before you do this).

The app cannot be downloaded via the Play Store on Android devices however, so in this case users must access mpoker.betfair.com via their web browser and then either play online or tap the clear download link and then follow the instructions.

Software

SoftwareUsing the same general Playtech platform as most other mobile poker apps, the Betfair offering is unquestionably well designed and easy to understand.

The app runs extremely well and it is very rare for there to be any real lag or for glitches to interfere with gameplay. This all makes the app pleasantly usable and one which in terms of functionality will suit both occasional and regular players.

Other promotions

Unfortunately for Betfair mobile poker app users, the already small selection of ongoing promotions associated with Betfair poker becomes even smaller via the mobile app.

Of the limited selection of promotions available, the most notable is the so-called ‘Poker Loyalty Club’.

This loyalty scheme allows users to collect 25 ‘Status Points’ for each €1 rake or fee spent through the app and multiplies these points by the user’s VIP Club Multiplier to create ‘VPPs’ which can be cashed in for bonuses at a rate €1 for every 375 ‘VPPs’ earned.

How Does Betfair Mobile Poker Compare?

Betfair’s mobile apps are often amongst the most user-friendly and easy to use and this remains the case with their mobile poker offering. The well-designed software is easy to understand and simple to navigate even for beginners to mobile poker, whilst the smooth running of the app will be appreciated by even the most regular of players.

The app also boasts a reasonable selection of different tables and games, but this selection is a little more limited than those provided by some major competitors. It is in the area of bonuses and promotions however, where the Betfair app noticeably falls behind those competitors.

The welcome package provided by Betfair poker is actually a reasonably generous one, with a 200% deposit bonus and other added extras included. However on going promotions are very limited so once the welcome bonus has run out you’ll struggle to find extra value.

From time to time re-load / re-deposit bonuses are available but these are generally few and far between.
