Betfair poker Overview
Betfair is mostly known for their Betfair Sports Betting Exchange. Millions of bets are made between costumers daily on the sports exchange and quite few of the sport book interested members of the Betfair community drop by the poker room during the day. This mean Betfair brings a never ending stream of inexperienced players in their poker room, which benefit all players in the network.

The poker room also became known for being the first sponsor of WSOPE. World Series Of Poker Europe have been sponsored by Betfair Poker from 2006 until 2009 and has during this period grown to be a WSOP event with as much merit as the real WSOP.
