OVERVIEW

While SportsBetting Poker may not be a household name, the company behind the site is one of North America’s most established betting brands. Given the success of other American-facing poker sites, it’s no surprise that they’re trying to get a piece of the pie.

But how does it stack up against the giants of the industry? Can a relatively unknown site aim to compete with the big boys? To find out, I created an account at SportsBetting Poker, deposited my own hard-earned money, and jumped onto the poker tables.

I played everything I could, from cash games and sit & go’s to multi-table tournaments–you name it. I wanted to see how they compared to the industry’s standards and whether the site was worth your time.

I also looked at other key areas critical to poker players, such as deposit and withdrawal options, bonuses and promotions, and the customer support team. With over a decade in the industry, I know what poker players want from a real money poker site, and I’ve used that knowledge to create this review of SportsBetting Poker. Let’s dive in.

PROS AND CONS

While it would be easy to assume that poker would take a backseat at a site called SportsBetting, you couldn’t be more wrong. The site has a robust selection of different poker games and good regular tournaments that give players a chance to win big. The exclusive games on offer are fantastic for those who like to play their poker at top speed. At the same time, the site’s high traffic ensures there is plenty of competition at the bigger tables.

A major attraction for the site is its focus on crypto. The option to deposit with other cryptos besides Bitcoin will be a big selling point for many online poker players. The site’s accessibility across devices is also a huge plus, though a mobile app would be something many players would welcome in the future.

Pros

  • Huge Selection of Crypto Options
  • Big Jackpot Tournaments Available
  • Fantastic Customer Support
  • Great Range of Exclusive Games

Cons

  • No Mobile Application

POKER GAME SELECTION

SportsBetting delivers a solid selection of poker games for its players. Whether it’s fast action or longer games you’re looking for, there is plenty of variety. The site sees plenty of traffic, and I never had problems finding tables to sit and play at.

POKER TOURNAMENTS

The selection of tournaments at SportsBetting may be smaller than some other poker rooms, but the winning potential of the available ones is really quite something. The biggest attraction will undoubtedly be the $1 Million Windfall Jackpot tournaments.

These are three-player hyper-turbo sit & go games that can be found in the operator’s windfall lobby. I’ll admit it–I enjoyed playing these games the most; there’s something special about having a chance to win life-changing cash from only a tiny investment. The prize pool here can be up to 100,000x the player’s bet!

There are also weekly tournaments available, with the Sunday Main Event being the biggest attraction. The Sunday Main Event offers up to a $150,000 prize fund for some surprisingly low buy-ins.

What’s it Like to Play?

When picking your next poker client, one of the most important things to consider is what it’s like to use the site. You’re going to be spending hours with this software, so you need to know that it looks good and is easy to use.

As part of my review, I spent a good deal of time with the web client and downloadable poker client, looking for its hidden gems and the flaws they’d rather you not know about, so take a look below to find out more.

Web Client

Like many US-facing poker rooms, SportsBetting Poker offers a web client that allows you to play directly from your web browser, but unlike other poker sites, the SportsBetting web client is amazing! It looks and feels just like a regular poker client, which is a rarity in online poker. Usually, the web client is just an afterthought that’s rushed together to give players more options, but you can see there’s a lot of care and attention that’s gone into building the SportsBetting Poker web client.

Sportsbetting Online Poker Lobby

As you can see in the image above, the lobby looks just like a regular poker lobby, with a number of options available at the top, as well as a selection of quickplay options on the homepage. Having these options makes it easy to jump straight into a game – perfect if you want to jump on for a few minutes and try to gamble it up while waiting for your bus.

Once you do jump into a game, you’ll find that it’s just like playing on any other poker client. The table pops out into its own little window, so you need to make sure you have pop-ups enabled for the site; otherwise, you won’t be able to join your table!

Sportsbetting Online Poker Table

The quality of the table design is equal to that of many poker client tables on other sites. I love the classic black and green color design, as I feel it really pops off the screen, but if you’re not a fan, there are a number of different themes and color designs you can choose from. As well as looking great, all the information is readily available on the table and easy to read.

Another feature that I loved about SportsBetting is the number of customizable options that are available. They have a total of seven customizable bet buttons for both preflop and postflop play, they offer the ability to change chips to BBs, you can set auto buy-in and auto top-up options, and much more!

Sportsbetting Online Poker Settings

Having a large variety of options means that you can tailor your online poker experience to suit your needs. You can turn on all the animations and play around creating your perfect table theme if that’s what you want to do, or you can eliminate all distractions and create the best environment possible for grinding long hours – the choice is yours!

Poker Client

One thing you notice when you jump from the web client to the poker client is how similar everything looks. While most sites treat their web client as a bootleg copy of their poker client, SportsBetting Poker has ensured that a high level of quality runs through all of their options, giving you a seamless user experience when switching between the two.

Like the web client, the lobby looks fantastic (everyone knows how much I love a dark theme), and it’s really easy to navigate; so if you’re looking for a specific poker game, it won’t take you long to get into the action.

Once you pick a game and load up a table, you’ll find that the design is just as sleek and modern as it is on the web client. One of the advantages that the poker client has over the web client is that it’s much easier to multi-table, as there are a range of different options that will automatically position your tables on the screen.

Another benefit that comes with the poker client is that you get a greater number of settings to play with, including Hotkeys, Hand History, Video, and much more! These settings allow you to set up the ultimate grind-station, where you only need to tap a button to fold, raise or call, and the saveable hand histories mean that SportsBetting is compatible with Heads-Up Displays.

Overall, both the web client and poker client at SportsBetting Poker are just fantastic. They have a range of options that make it easy to log in and enjoy your favorite game, and they’re both terrific-looking products. While the poker client may have a small edge over the web client, I had a great time with both of them, and I’m sure you will too.

Features of the Site

  • Quickplay Options – One of the things I loved about the web client and the poker client is the number of quickplay options available on the homepage. These allow you to immediately jump into a poker game without having to go searching through the menus, making them more accessible to beginner players.
  • Variety Of Grinder-Friendly Settings – Another thing that I love about SportsBetting Poker is the number of features that appeal to the serious poker player. While many sites are looking to sideline regular players in favor of recreational, it’s refreshing to see a site that makes grinding a viable option. Things like multiple customizable bet buttons, customizable hotkeys, and cashout/run it twice options make it a great place to grind online poker.
  • Great-Looking Web Lobby – It’s hard to find an online poker lobby that looks as good as the SportsBetting web lobby. It rivals that of many dedicated poker clients and is incredibly easy to use on top of looking fantastic. You can tell that SportsBetting really cares about providing a viable alternative to the traditional poker client – something that’s rare to see these days.

What It’s Missing

While SportsBetting certainly has a number of quality features, it’s far from perfect, and there are a number of things we’d like to see.

  • Streamable Poker Client – While this won’t matter to the average player, we’d like to see an update that allows the poker client to be captured by image-capturing software. We were unable to take screenshots of the poker client for this article, and anyone looking to play on SportsBetting as part of their live stream will be disappointed.
  • Preferred Seating Options – One setting that’s noticeable by its absence is the lack of preferred seating options in either the web client or the poker client. Considering the number of different settings available it seems odd that this wouldn’t be included, but after searching all over, I couldn’t find it anywhere. This means that you have to manually select your seat every time you open a new table, which gets tedious after a while.

BONUS AND PROMOTIONS

We all love a good bonus, and SportsBetting has a good range available for its poker players. On top of some serious prize pools in their tournaments, here’s a selection of regular promotions designed to help boost your playing experience and, in some cases, your bankroll.

SIGN-UP BONUS

New players at SportsBetting Poker can get a 100% bonus when they make their first deposit. This can be claimed on deposits between $50 and $1,000. I always sign up for the welcome bonus when I join a new site (free money is free money, after all), and few things earn more, ahem, bonus points in my poker reviews than when an operator offers a giant matching deposit bonus.

A 100% bonus up to $1000 is one of the better bonuses you’ll see on the market. The bonus is paid out at a rate of $5 for every $50 earned in rake. Players will need to enter the bonus code NEWSB when they sign up to participate in the promotion.

BAD BEAT JACKPOT

One of the most popular promotions at SportsBetting is the Bad Beat Jackpot. This promotion puts an interesting spin on the game, providing players with the chance to win a progressive jackpot for losing. That’s right – to win this, you will need to lose. If players lose with a hand that is Four of a Kind Deuces or better at a designated Bad Beat table, then everyone at the table will be paid out. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen to me while I was playing, but it’s nice to know that if you get a sick beat, your day won’t be ruined!

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS

SportsBetting prides itself on its massive array of banking options; quite frankly, they have it just about all covered. While many operators have adopted Bitcoin, SportsBetting has fully embraced the crypto movement, providing players with a wide variety of cryptocurrency options. Among these are Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Polygon, and Dogecoin, among others.

Outside of this, the site also accepts Mastercard and Visa cards, wire transfers, American Express, and more. The lowest deposit options come with cryptocurrencies, with the site keen to encourage players to use them. They also offer the quickest withdrawal times–when I withdrew using crypto, I received my money within hours. The minimum of $50 for fiat currencies does, however, run the risk of deterring some players.

Method Minimum/Maximum Deposit Withdrawal Limit
Bitcoin $10/$500,000 $20/$100,000
Cryptocurrencies $20/$100,000 $20/$100,000
Mastercard, Visa, American Express $50/$2,500 N/A
Person to Person $100/$600 $50/$400
Check by Courier $1,500/$10,000 $1,500/$10,000
Money Order $300/$9,000 $500/$4,500
Bank Wire Transfer $1,000/No Limit $500/$25,000

MOBILE GAMING

Feeling mobile? Then you’re in luck. SportsBetting has been fully optimized to offer poker games on both Android and iOS devices. It runs smoothly on all mobile browsers, with Safari and Google Chrome offering a seamless gaming experience.

If you’d prefer playing from a dedicated mobile app, then you’re free to download the recently released SportsBetting Poker app. This app is available for both Android and iOS devices and offers an incredibly smooth mobile gaming experience. I experienced zero lag when using the app, and was pleased to see that I had the full range of games available at my fingertips.

CUSTOMER SERVICE OPTIONS

SportsBetting provides a fantastic all-around customer experience. This is best highlighted through the range of available customer support options. If you run into an issue on the site, the team is available to help you 24/7. The easiest way to contact them is through live chat. I’ve dealt with my fair share of rage-inducing customer service reps, but I’m happy to say that SportsBetting’s CSRs were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and resolved my issues within minutes.

If you want to speak to someone directly, a phone number is available. There are also three dedicated email addresses for each of the site’s main sections.

 

WHAT MAKES THIS POKER SITE UNIQUE

There is a lot to like about what SportsBetting offers, especially if you’re a crypto enthusiast. The ability to play with everything from Cardano to Doge definitely makes this a unique proposition. This, combined with some great exclusive games, helps SportsBetting stand out in a crowded field of poker operators. The $1 Million Windfall Jackpot tournament will also grab the attention of many high-stakes players.

Conclusion

SportsBetting is very much a one-stop shop in the online gambling world, and its poker offering is no slouch. I loved the option to play using a variety of cryptocurrencies, and the wide selection of exclusive games appealed to my inner action enthusiast and desire to try new things. Personally, I think it ticks all of the boxes a player would be looking for in terms of a top online poker-room experience. Put simply; it’s well worth checking out.
