Eurobet Poker
Eurobet is one of the oldest online gambling businesses. In 1996, Eurobet.com made Internet history by taking the first online bets. By 1999, Eurobet had partnered with Coral, a well known and respected name in the British sporting arena, forming Coral Eurobet, providing their customers with over seventy-five years of bookmaking experience. When they were acquired by the Gala Group in October 2005, they combined all their experience with Europe’s leading betting and gaming company. Offering licensed betting offices, bingo clubs, and high quality online multimedia games, the combined business is now known as the Gala Coral Group, employing 17,000 people in the United Kingdom alone.
Eurobet offers online sports betting, casino games, and other gaming products in addition to its poker rooms. Their games are available in sixteen languages and serve over 130 countries around the world. They use Secure Socket Layer technology to protect their customer’s privacy and credit card information and they will not share the information to any third parties. They offer all of their customers highly trained customer service personnel via e-mail and telephone, in all sixteen languages.
The poker room offers customers a chance to play via a download version with lobby or instantly without compromising their computers. The instant play does require that the latest version of Java is installed on the computer and can be played via Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, or AOL browser platforms. Languages available in the poker room include English, Swedish, French, German, Turkish, Spanish, Greek, and Italian. Once a customer has registered, they may pick a poker room and enter it by pressing the ‘Go to table’ button. Players can then click on an available seat to join the table, select how much money they wish to bet and click the ‘Sit in’ button to be dealt into the game. All new starting tables will deal a random card face up to each player to determine the dealer, the player with the highest card. Players also have the option to simply watch and not play.
Eurobet Poker offers games in the following styles: Texas Hold’em; Omaha; Omaha Hi/Lo; Seven Card Stud; Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo; and 5 Card Draw. The website has explicit instructions on how to play each game if the player is unfamiliar with the rules. Games are played in limit, pot-limit, and no-limit betting amounts. There are also all-in and side bet options for players who run out of chips during a game. There are rakes charged on the games, and all the major versions of tournaments are represented. The site also offers bonuses and incentives for all of their players. All games are played in United States dollars, but winnings can be converted into Pounds Sterling as requested.
Currently Eurobet Poker offers four different sign-up options with matching bonuses up to a value of $600. Bonuses are added to a players account as they reach the set number of points needed. There is also a $25.00 cash reload bonus that players receive simply by depositing $25.00 to their account every month and playing poker. When they reach 250 points, Eurobet will match the $25.00 monthly deposit.
