Ring

MicroGaming network accept American players. The network tends to be 70+%
Americans which causes the peak hours to be the reverse of most European focused

Rake
(5)
Bet365Poker uses the
typical 5% rake with a three dollar maximum.
Soft
competition (5)
Bet365 has a good mix
of competition, its hard to rate competition as a whole because
while many loose games exist from the many fish spilling over
from the casino and sport books of the network partners, many
tougher games also exist mostly populated by the high volume
"incentive motivated" players (Many Microgaming rooms recruit
high volume players by offering them large incentives to put in
long hours at their room).
One thing is for sure, there is no
lack of game selection at Bet365, if a player finds a certain
table to be to tougher than they are comfortable with then a
good chance several other tables at the same game/stake and more
favorable conditions is only a click away..

up bonus (7)

client first deposits they will be paid $5 for every 100 qualifying raked hands played. For the purposes of this bonus, playing a raked hand is
