Bwin Poker Review

 

General information

Bwin Poker is a very old online poker room that has been online for a long time (ever since 2025). Bwin Poker can be considered to be a truly veteran of online poker and you can see that by the solid online poker software and the large independent poker network that they've created.

People from all over the world can be found at Bwin Poker and the poker software is now available in 22 languages.

Bonus (7/10)

The welcome bonus offered by Bwin Poker is still very small compared to the other online poker rooms out there. Right now Bwin Poker is offering a $100 at 100% match up rate.

Promotions (8/10)

Bwin Poker is not offering many online poker promotions. Even if they are a very large website, their marketing efforts seem to head in other directions than the promotions page.

Right now there are only 4 promotions available except for the welcome bonus:

-          World Series of Poker 2025 – As you already know the 2025 WSOP is just around the corner and Bwin Poker is giving you a chance to win a seat at the tournament.

-          Joker Sit and Go – This online poker Sit and Go tournament has a very unusual prize format. The 1^st will get 50%, 5^th will get 30% and 9^th player will get 20%. You must make sure that you qualify for that. By changing the rules everybody is going to feel lost.

-          Weekly Country Showdown – Become the best player in your country by being part of the Weekly Country Showdown. The buy in for these tournaments is $3+0.30.

-          Contender Series – If you consider yourself to be a good player make sure that you take part of this promotion, where you have to battle your way up to the top. Earn Market Points and you will be given some incredible prizes of up to $5,500.

Tournaments (10/10)

Bwin Poker might not offer a wide variation of promotions to players, but they can certainly offer a nice amount of online poker tournaments.

One of the strongest points of the Bwin Poker tournaments is the great variety of them. In addition to the normal straight forward online poker tournaments, Bwin Poker now offers all other kinds of tournaments.

Here is the list with all the tournament types offered by Bwin Poker:

-          Guaranteed Tournaments

Competition (8/10)

Once you hit the low stakes tables, the competition is going to be very soft and easy to beat. If you are going to go to the higher stakes games, the competition will get stiffer and stiffer.

The many Texas Hold'em games will have an average flop percentage of around 40-50%. Bwin Poker is the type of online poker room that also offers online sports book and an online casino. This means that many of the players you will find there are going to come from those other ventures and they will offer a soft competition.

Payment/Withdrawal Methods (9/10)

Deposit Methods: Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Diners Club, Neteller, Moneybookers, Bank Transfer, ClickandBuy, Click2Pay, Paypal, Freebet Card and Western Union.

Cash Out Methods: Visa, Neteller, Moneybookers, Bank Transfer, Western Union  and check.

Software (9/10)

The Bwin Poker software is mainly concentrated on the usability and reliability of the software; this means that you are not going to find any fancy graphics.

The software is very stable and it's working well even if you are playing at more than one table at the same time.

Here are a couple of features that bwin is offering:

-          No download version – excellent for Linux or Mac users

-          Mobile Poker – this way you can play poker straight from your mobile phone wherever you are

-          Clean and crisp table view

-          Mac OS X version

-          Resizable tables

-          Real time tournament lobby

-          Multi table action – play at up to 12 tables at the same time

-          Hand history

-          Statistics

-          Poker Tracker compatibility

-          Player notes

Support (9/10)

The customer support staff can be contacted with several different ways: e-mail, phone and fax. The quality of the service is good and the staff there is fast friendly and manages to offer you the answers you need.

Conclusion

Bwin Poker has a huge player base, a nice looking and reliable software and it looks like they have been around for a long time and they have imposed some outstanding company ethics. However the customer support and the promotions that are currently offered could use some improvement.
