January, 2021 - Bet Online Poker is new to the poker industry but they have been offering online sports betting to Americans and Europeans for over a decade. During that time they have never had any troubles with the U.S. government and they have been ranked in the top three fastest paying online gambling sites. That is over 10 years of winning an award that includes the casino, sports betting, poker, bingo and several other major online gaming industries. Players at their new poker site have been able to take advantage of their innovative deposit and cashout methods. This new poker room and their close competitors Bovada Poker have picked up the bulk of U.S. traffic from the rooms like Pokerstars that had to ban them earlier this year and the three other major rooms (FTP, UB & AP) that are still closed. BetOnline Poker is one of the most popular new poker sites in 2014.
This BetOnline Poker review will primarily look at the poker room. I bet on sports and do some casino gambling with BetOnline.ag so I will provide some basic background info on those services as well. If you are looking for one fast paying company to handle all of your online gambling needs this really is one of the only options in the post-Black Friday world. This 2014 BetOnline.ag review features an exclusive sign up bonus package.
BetOnline Poker's bonus program is pretty basic and doesn't seem very competitive at a glance. Their poker promotions also seem a bit unreasonable considering their huge growth. I think this can be explained by the fact that they have been in the sports betting industry for so long and are new to online poker. Sportsbook bonuses tend to be very small. To be fair though Poker Stars, the largest poker site in the world, was giving away $50 max bonuses up until a couple years ago and they still managed to become the most successful poker room in history. Perhaps BetOnline knows they have a good product and are following Pokerstars example or maybe they are still learning. In any event I have worked out a special deal that may not seem like a block buster comparatively but if you want fast payouts and a great poker experience that should be all that matters. Here is our exclusive bonus package at Betonline.

BetOnline uses the Merge Gaming software but they handle all other aspects of the poker room. When I think "Merge", I think 2 month cashouts. BetOnline's payouts to US customers usually take 2 days. The software definitely has some perks though. Over 15 unique card games and 8+ mixed games are available. BetOnline Poker's traffic peaks at around 15,000 players. Most Merge poker rooms do not accept US players, Bet Online is one of the few that does. The network should have lost a lot of traffic because of this but BetOnline's massive growth has prevented that. Many players feel that Bet Online is the premier room on the network. They opted to handle payments, support, promotions and bonuses themselves and that has been good. Other Merge rooms are taking 2-3 months for simple cashouts and the support is terrible. Must of the traffic at BetOnline is based at the Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha HL and Stud cash games. Tournaments are also very popular.
Throughout the history of online poker the loosest (least skill) competition has always been found at sports books that offered poker on the side. Bet Online Poker may have grown much larger than anyone expected but this is still true for them. Sports betting fanatics and casino gamblers are easy to spot at the poker tables. Just look for a full ring $2/4 NL Hold'em table with a 75% flop percentage. The action here is much softer than what many of you will be used to. I was used to playing at Pokerstars and BetOnline is much looser, despite the fact that I always sat at the loosest tables out of thousands available at Poker Stars.
BetOnline is still primarily a sports book. I think that all serious online poker players should also bet on sports. It is a great way to protect your bankroll from bad runs at the poker tables and to diversify your income. A $100 deposit at the sportsbook could keep you betting all season long. You can bet on games that are 50:50 or you can bet a 5:000:1 shot on a prop bet. The casino is large compared to average found online and the software and games are spectacular. There are some insane promotions found at both including $900 in free bets on every deposit.
BetOnline's major selling points are their turbo-speed payouts and convenient deposit options. This is the easiest sportsbook, poker room and/or casino for a U.S. citizen to deposit and withdraw from. They also have the fastest poker payouts in 2014.
