Sportsbook Poker Review

History

Sportsbook.com is a privately held online gaming firm, featuring sports betting, online poker, casino games and horse race betting that caters to the US market.

Prior to the passage of the Safe Port Act, Sportsbook.com was owned by Sportingbet, whose sports betting network, also including Hollywood Sportsbook and Sports.com, was collectively named the “Best U.S. Sportsbook” in 2005 and 2006 by industry magazine eGaming Review. After passage of the Safe Port Act, Sportingbet sold all its US-facing sportsbooks to a privately owned company, Jazette Enterprises Limited, for the sum of $1. The company is now known as Jassy Sports Events Limited and headquartered in Malta.

Sportsbook.com’s advertising included an “Everybody Bets” campaign featuring Brooke Burke and Nikki Cox in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Player Traffic 8/10

SportsBook Poker has seen an incredible amount of growth over the last year, thanks in part due to the Cake network and their ability to process US payments without any problems. During peak hours the poker room attracts just over 12,000 real money players with 3,000 of those players involved in cash games.

Quality of Players 7/10

The competition is slightly above average. Flop viewing percentage ranges from roughly 40% in low stake and 35% in high stake games. Lots of gamblers at these rooms looking to “go big or go home” I like to call this free money.

Games Offered

Texas Hold’em, Omaha , Omaha Hi/Lo 7-Card Stud, and 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo.

Software 8/10

I surprised at the quality of Sportbook’s poker software platform. The game play is smooth, the graphics are realistic, yet not too flashy, and there is little to no lag or hiccup problems that I could find. The lobby is a little cluttered, with links to their sports betting and casino site, but once you get into the poker menus, it is quite simple to navigate and find the game you are looking for.

Bonuses and Promotions 9/10

Sportsbook offers one of the best bonuses in the industry a whopping 100% up to $650, using promo code first100

Customer Support 7/10

Sportsbook Poker offers support via e-mail, live chat and a 24/7 support phone number. Response time and friendliness is top notch and answers are accurate.
