Betfred Poker Welcome Bonus

All new Betfred Poker customers are entitled to a welcome bonus, which is worth as much as £1,200 or €1,500. To take advantage of the offer, you must be a first-time customer, register a new and valid Betfred Poker account and make a minimum deposit of at least £5.

The Betfred Poker promotion code POKERWELCOMEBONUS should automatically populate itself on the registration form when you open your new account by clicking here!

 

If there is no Betfred promotion code in the registration form, you can enter our all-purpose promotion code BETFREE which provides the £1,200 maximum poker welcome bonus as well as the maximum sports and casino welcome bonuses.

 

The Betfred Poker welcome bonus is a 200-percent match bonus. In other words, if you deposit £5 or €5, then your maximum bonus is £10 or €10. On the other hand, if you deposit £600 or €750, then you’ll claim the maximum potential bonus of £1,200 or €1,500.

Like many online poker bonuses, this bonus isn’t awarded immediately. Instead, Betfred will dole it out to you in increments. If your bonus is in pounds, then Betfred will award the bonus in £5 cash chunks every time you earn 750 VIP Points . If your bonus is in euros, then Betfred will award the bonus in €5 cash chunks every time you earn 600 VIP Points.

Note that VIP Points are essentially the same as the Store Points or SP explained in the VIP Club section. Betfred uses a different term when discussing bonuses in order to avoid confusion and to make it clear that SP aren’t actually consumed in the process of clearing bonuses.

 

Betfred Poker VIP Club

All Betfred Poker clients are automatically enrolled in the VIP Club as soon as they’ve registered a valid account. As a VIP, you can earn Store Points whenever you pay cash for a tournament buy-in or contribute to a raked pot in a cash game. The rate at which you earn SP depends on your default currency: 20, 25 or 30 points for each $1, €1 or £1 spent on rakes or buy-ins, respectively.

Each month, all players begin anew in the VIP program as a Novice. Previously earned and unspent SP are still available for up to 12 months, but they just don’t count toward player rank for the current month. As players earn new SP, they’ll increase in rank as follows:

1. Novice
2. Amateur — 30 SP
3. Intermediate — 150 SP
4. Advanced — 750 SP
5. Betfred Regular — 3,000 SP
6. Betfred Pro — 7,500 SP
7. Betfred Legend — 22,500 SP

A benefit of increasing in rank as that you receive an SP boost. If, for instance, your account were boosted by 30 percent, then you would earn 28 SP per $1 spent rather than 20. Boost levels are as follows:

1. Novice
2. Amateur — 10%
3. Intermediate — 20%
4. Advanced — 30%
5. Betfred Regular — 40%
6. Betfred Pro — 50%
7. Betfred Legend — 60%

SP can be traded in at the Betfred store at any time. Keep in mind that since VIP bonuses apply to the earning and not the spending, there’s no advantage to sitting on points waiting for a higher VIP level. However, you’ll get exchange rates that are more favorable the more you trade in at a given time, so it can be beneficial to wait until you have enough points to reach the highest exchange tier.

You can trade SP in for tournament tokens, bonus money and cash. You can withdraw cash, but SP convert into a less favorable rate than they convert into bonus money. The default conversion rate for tournament tokens is 250 SP per €1 token, but you can improve that rate to as much as 125:1 by cashing in 25,000 SP at once. There are also £5, £10 and £25 SP freerolls that run throughout the day and that you can buy in to at the cost of 25, 50 and 150 SP, respectively.

SP convert into cash at the rate of 400 SP to £1, and you can increase that rate to as much as 150:1 by cashing in 150,000 SP. SP converts into bonus money at the rate of 800 SP to £3, and you can increase that rate to as much as 125:1 by cashing in 150,000 SP.

 

Betfred Poker Software

Betfred is part of the iPoker network by Playtech. The downloadable poker client, which requires Windows, is customized to the Betfred brand, but it’s essentially still iPoker, which is a good thing. The iPoker software is a well evolved and popular poker software platform that is familiar and liked by most online poker players.

Another good thing that is a recent development of the iPoker platform is that iPoker has eliminated the concept of tiers among its poker operators. What this means is that iPoker now pools ALL its poker players into a single network, instead of compartmentalizing certain players into separate tiers such that players in different tiers were unable to play against each other. Betfred was once a tier two operator, but no longer, and as a Betfred customer, you’ll have full access to the iPoker player pool.

This means better and bigger tournaments, more cash games, and a greater variety of games available. More action, the better!

 

 

The Betfred iPoker client supports a great deal of customization. It has powerful search and sort tools for finding particular games. It has a Quick Seat feature, which will get you into an appropriate ring game in seconds, or you can jump into Speed Poker at any time and just as fast.

Multi-table support is excellent, and you can have up to 16 tables open at a time.
