Have you ever played at BWin Poker? I tried it out recently when I heard that they sponsor both Real Madrid and AC Milan, and found that it is well worth playing here regularly, for various reasons. BWin Poker was established in 1999 and is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Today it ranks among the most popular poker sites online, probably because of the excellent software, great promos and the special features. I received a nice welcome at BWin Poker when I deposited money for the first time in my account there – a chance to participate in a $2000 cash freeroll where entrance is restricted.

You have a choice of poker games to play at BWin Poker, including Limit Texas Hold ‘Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi / Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi / Lo and No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em.

This is a great poker site with some unusual features – quick seating, filters and private tables, for instance. Quick seating is a useful tool that seats you at an appropriate table after you have specified your preferences as far as the type of game (cash or tournament), the stakes you wish to play at and the limits are concerned. Also, BWin Poker provides a filter option that allows you to find a suitable table in a trice. I liked the private table option where you can set up your own customised table, and invite people to play on the basis of a password, so that you can restrict entry to the game to those you want to play with. In addition to setting a password, you can set details such as game structure, betting limits, stakes, game speed, number of players and even enter descriptive words about your table.

In addition, BWin Poker offers a multi tabling option (you can play up to a dozen tables here), access to statistics about the games you are playing, feature that lets you make notes on the game, a poker real time odds calculator and convenient short cut keys that let you access functions easily. I thought that these features added a lot of value to playing at BWin Poker.

The software on BWin Poker can be used with both Windows and Mac systems. Although the effects, design and the graphics are not spectacular, they are more than adequate, and the software runs smoothly, which is what I think is really important.

BWin Poker supports many languages including English, Czech, Finnish, Japanese, German, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian Icelandic and Spanish are supported. So you will find poker players from all over the world here at BWin Poker.

I know that BWin Poker also runs an online casino as well as a sportsbook, but this has not adversely affected the quality of the poker rooms here. It looks like they know what they are doing, which is great for poker players who want a good poker site where they can play regularly, and win good rewards, if they are lucky enough, and have adequate skills. The level of competition varies here quite a bit.
