Eurobet - Detailed Site Review

Eurobet, a PokerRoom skin, is a member of the Ongame Poker Network. This gives players a wide selection of games, tournaments, and promotions. Eurobet formed in 1999 when it joined with Coral, a popular British bookmaker, to form Coral Eurobet. In 2005 it was taken over by Gala, which is the United Kingdom’s largest gaming group, to form what is now the largest betting company in Europe.

Probably best known for their generous deposit bonuses and daily freerolls, Eurobet is a great site to learn how to play. Since they share a player database with other sites on the Ongame Poker Network, they have as many as 10,000 active players during peak hours. Eurobet has a strong advertising campaign in the UK, and gets many recreational gamblers to sign up through the attached casino and sportsbook. Since they operate off a java interface, it is convenient to play when away from your home computer or when using a Mac.

Eurobet runs regular tournaments, including an $80,000 guaranteed ‘Big Deal’ event every Sunday afternoon. They also have minimum $20,000 guaranteed tournaments daily, and a "lucky dollar" promotion where one can turn $1 into $2,500.

The biggest problem with Eurobet, as well as the other Ongame sites, is their rake is high for limits from 2/4-5/10. Conversely, their rake, is among the lowest for micro limits and high (10/20+) limit player. This fluctuation in rake for middle limit players, however, is usually offset by the regular reload bonuses Eurobet offers.

Eurobet’s software is not as stable as many other major poker sites, and, besides being slow, will crash on occasion. Their interface is choppy, though the distracting avatars can be turned off, and sometimes the cards being displayed will disappear.

Eurobet has an average Neteller cashout time of 2-4 business days

Eurobet has been the most successful of the former Party Poker skins. Now a part of the OnGame network, Eurobet is a European based pokerroom and is a skin of PokerRoom.com. Eurobet is owned by an online casino and sportsbook.
