Spotlight on Sportsbook Poker

Sportsbook Poker is a site that has gotten little mention on this blog, but it’s actually one of our favorite poker sites here at Holdem Review, second only to Full Tilt Poker as far as we’re concerned. So we thought it would be worth everyone’s while to shin a spotlight on our second favorite poker site.

Sportsbook Poker’s biggest appeal for many players is its integration with Sportsbook.com’s other offerings. Much like another favorite of ours, Bodog.com, Sportsbook offers poker, casino games, and sportsbetting – with player accounts fully integrated. Sign up for one, you’re signed up for them all.

Some of the cool integrations are the ability to player live poker and blackjack at the same time. It also means you get cool crossover promotions like an NFL Primetime reload bonus. And because of the crossover membership, the poker tables and tournaments usually see action of about 10,000 players or more.

But getting back to poker, Sportsbook Poker, the poker software is smooth and attractive and reliable. There are, however, no resizable tables, and no support yet for Mac. And getting back for a moment to the subject of crossover membership with the Sportsbook.com casino and sportsbetting sites – this means a lot of the players at the online poker tables are heavy gamblers and easy money for any half-decent online poker player to sweep up. In other words, lots of fish with fat wallets who don’t give up easily.

And maybe best of all, Sportsbook Poker is currently running one of the juiciest First Deposit bonuses around, a 100% match up to $650. Plus all new players are immediately registered for a $500 Welcome Freeroll taking place every Wednesday at 10 pm.
