Bet365poker is a large contributor to the liquidity at Prima Poker, one of the leading poker networks. As such, they contribute greatly to the high traffic and wide range of table limits available. bet365poker's reputable brand is already widely recognised in the gaming sphere, thanks to their large well-established sportsbook business. Their one-wallet system means many of their sportsbook customers are floating across to the poker room, bolstering the liquidity of the network in the process. The software provides very useful stats as well as 3 different sizes. The large number of short-handed tables and turbo tables create loose games and quick playability often with greater than 120 hands played per hour.
