Summary

Centrebet is a member of the world famous iPoker network meaning that it is one of the biggest and most successful rooms in the business.

The firm doesn’t have the biggest game variety in the business but they remain one of the larger networks and, as a result, the quality of players ranges significantly depending on how much you are willing to pay to play.

The iPoker network doesn’t allow American players on the site meaning that traffic peaks at European prime times.

Key Tournaments

CentreBet play host to some seriously big money tournaments and they boast a large number of freerolls for their players to sink their teeth into.  Highlights include the $500,000 freeroll and the $250,000 Guaranteed Prize event but there is also plenty of smaller tournaments and Sit n` Go Jackpot showdowns to get involved in.

Game Variety

Centrebet boasts the standard array of poker variants – Hold’em (No Limit, Pot Limit and Limit) and Omaha (PLO and Hi-Lo) are well represented. For a low stakes Omaha player looking to hone his skills, the lack of a 0.10/20c heads-up table is a slight grievance. Although 7 Card and 5 Card Stud are available, they attract virtually no players.

For the low and mid stakes player, there are regular $5, $10 and $20 freeze outs and re-buys, with fields rarely topping 750 players, meaning a more realistic chance of a cash. There are numerous satellites running to live APT, EPT and WSOP events, with Centrebet offering live seats to the Irish Winter Festival, WPT Marrakech, International Team Poker League in Vegas, and European Poker Championship Tour in Malta.

Sit n’ Go poker is also well represented, with ‘Super Turbo’, ‘Turbo’, ‘double or nothing’ and standard structures all available. If you are looking to avoid sick variance, avoid the 'Super Turbos'. DoN SnG's are becoming increasingly popular, as they are quite profitable for a tight, patient player. ‘Jackpot’ SnG’s are unique to Centrebet and the iPoker network, with $110,000 up for grabs for players who win six tournaments in a row.

One of the biggest positives of Centrebet is that you can switch to the sportsbook with a click of a finger, and engross yourself in live-tennis betting. Centrebet Sportsbook offers some of the best odds, far better than your average UK bookmaker!

Traffic

The iPoker network is one of the largest poker networks, and can attract more than 18,000 players in the lobby at peak periods.

No Limit low and mid stake games are heavily populated - in fact there can be lengthy waiting lists, although the higher stakes usually comprise of 'regulars'. PLO play dries up beyond the $5/$10 level, and the Stud games are virtually non-existant.

Rake

One of the nice things about Centrebet Poker is their lower than industry standard rake. Typical rake across the industry is a standard 5% rake taken in increments up to $3, which is true for some tables at Centrebet Poker. Several types of tables, however, boast lower maximum rakes For example, all tables with 2-3 players have a maximum rake of $1 and tables with 4-5 players have a $2 max.

Centrebet Poker also has the no flop, no drop policy, which means that on hands not reaching the flop no rake is taken.

Competition

Since the loyalty schemes and bonuses are all Centrebet points based, and points are awarded on dealt rake, this attracts a whole host of tight short stackers, which can affect the integrity of the ring games.

It is quite conceivable for a $0.10/20c game to be filled with players holding less than $10. Short stackers are often seen as the nemesis to the deep-stacked player, so look to play on the ‘50 BB minimum’ tables if you wish to play deep. Being one of the biggest online networks, there are obviously a good blend of ‘fish’ and regulars, with the former pretty easy to identify.

With the iPoker network the home of several bookmakers including Betfred, Bet365 and William Hill, and of course Centrebet, the influx of casino and sportsbook players Low stakes full ring games can be particularly juicy for the patient player.

However the standard of play at low and mid stakes full-ring and 6-max tables can be shambolic, with players constantly chasing non-nut draws in multi-way pots. Heads-up Omaha cash is also worth trying, as multi-tabling regulars who buy-in full are easily identifiable as opponents to avoid.

Support

Centrebet's customer support is pretty decent. Similar to every iPoker website, Centrebet offers a ‘Live Help’ tab – the option to chat live to a customer services representative.

Although this is for more mundane issues, such as clarifying bonus schemes and network status, more complicated problems will be passed on to the relative department and you will be notified promptly by e-mail with a resolution.

Tournament = $50 (Buy-in) + $5 (Fee) CBets Earned = 75
