The Bet365 Poker software is powered by Playtech and on the iPoker Network. Playtech is one of the top 3 software developers for online poker and online casinos having won more awards than any other developer to date. Once you have downloaded Bet365 Poker and installed the application, the poker room should open instantly and display the main lobby. The lobby is super easy to navigate and offers a drop down menu, categorized by game variation and stakes. To take it one-step further, Bet365's software enables users to customize their preferences by selecting only the tables you want shown and will remove any unwanted games from the main lobby. Players can view the average statistics for each game, with current data displaying the number of hands per hour, average pot site, chip stacks for each player seated and of course the average of players seeing a flop.

Players learning how to play poker for the first time will have access to the "Beginner Games". These tables are designed specifically for new players, whereby the stakes are minimal, rake is cheap and the competition is the same level across the board. New player tables are only available for the first 90 days from the date you created your account.

The Bet365 download offers a variety of tools and features for the inexperienced and experience players. The majority of the options can be found by hovering over the top menu within the main lobby and include; find a player, preferred seating, quick search options and dealer features. Furthermore you will have access to all hand history files for cash games and tournaments.

The tables are clean and although the graphics are a bit dated, the games run smooth. The chat box includes your own statistics as well as your game data for tournaments. You do have options for the chat box in respect to what you want it to display; such as upcoming tournaments, dealer chat or just player chat. Players can choose to play a single game or multiple games simultaneously, with the Bet365 download supporting an unlimited number of games (tournaments or cash) in play. To ease into multi-tabling, the poker room is equipped with a couple of useful tools allowing you to resize your window or the cascading tile feature.
Bet365 offers super turbo tables as well as standard games which means some of the games require quick action in order to play. Likewise, the software also includes a disconnection protection on some games, while others have a no disconnection protection policy. You will find these marked as DP and NDP within the lobby. Because of this, we suggest players pay close attention to the games they are joining.
