Sportsbook is a well established online sports book and casino website. Only recently, Sportsbook decided to broaden their horizons and delve into the world of online poker. It was launched as part of the Cake Poker network. As of now, the play volume is at the lower end of the spectrum, but the client list has been growing at a steady pace.

The Texas Hold’em games seem to be a big draw for the site, and the tournaments end up attracting a lot of regular business. Sportsbook is one of the few sites in operation that cater to the U.S. players after the strict legislation fell down 2 years ago. A lot of players on the poker site are carryovers from the casino and sports book, meaning that most are inexperienced poker players. This makes the games very loose and passive for the most part.

Sportsbook has recently held a WSOP giveaway promotion, and they plan to repeat the gesture (or similar) in the near future. By playing the freerolls and satellite events, you have a chance to earn big money, big prizes, or a seat in a big land-based tournament. Sportsbook Poker has a few special tournaments, and player points earned on the site can be converted into cash prizes.

Loyal players of the site can participate in recurring sweepstakes. The site also holds a monthly $100,000 freeroll. Sportsbook is also competitive and offer a 100% deposit bonus of up to $650. They also take care of their own and offer existing players monthly bonuses. The site’s stipulations must be met in order to receive any bonus.

The different types of games offered at Sportsbook are slightly above average in the world of online poker. These games include Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha hi/lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud hi/lo. Most of the traffic coming into the poker end of the site can be found in the low to medium stakes Hold’em games, especially on the no limit tables where players love to push all in on Ace-rag. The Omaha games at Sportsbook are starting to pick up steam. Multiple daily tournaments with guaranteed prize pools are played at Sportsbook Poker, and a player can always find some great action on the site.

There isn’t too much about Sportsbook Poker that makes it unique from other sites out there. If anything, their particular games like the Gold Chip Giveaway are what make the site stand out in terms of game play. The fact that they cater to the American crowd is enough to make them stand out, and people are wasting no time signing up to play.

Sportsbook is only accepting Visa and MasterCard, and even cards issued in the U.S. are still accepted. To withdrawal your funds, a check will be mailed to you in 2-3 weeks. A minimum of $50 and maximum of $2500 can with taken out at a time.

Pros: Sportsbook Poker has some very loose games. You can also keep track with their excellent statistics. Catering to the U.S. crowd is always a big plus.

Cons: The deposit and withdrawal options are very limited. Also, they don’t have the best software in the business.
