About Betsson Poker Room
Betsson was originally established as Scandinavia’s leading sports betting company and throughout the noughties expanded into an online casino and poker room. The company’s initial strength was in the Scandinavian countries but have since expanded to become a major player internationally.
The Betsson poker room is part of the huge MicroGaming network, sharing players with a number of other popular online pokers rooms, ensuring a constant high volume of players and tables at any given moment twenty-four hours a day.

Poker Room Bonus

Using the bonus code MPOKER300, players receive a one-off bonus of 200% of a new deposit of up to £300. The bonus is paid out only when a player generates £5 in fees for the poker room, either through the rake or in tournament fees at a ratio of £1 bonus for every £5 in fees. The bonus is paid out in three instalments as the release requirement is met.

The poker room also has a loyalty points scheme which kicks in when players play real money games. As per the usual loyalty scheme model, players are rewarded with points in relation to the poker room’s revenue. So for every £1 the poker room takes in from a player in the rake or as an entry fee, the player receives 10 loyalty points which can then be redeemed as contributing towards future entry fees etc. You can redeem loyalty points as cash in your bankroll at £1 for every 30 loyalty points, or as a contribution towards tournament buy-ins at 100 loyalty points per £1 of the buy-in.

Rakeback Bonus

Regular players who qualify for Betsson’s special VIP Monthly Bonus are able to qualify for a refund on their rake contributions of up to 30%. This is not exclusive of other bonuses and can be combined without any restrictions.

Player Restrictions

As a result of both licensing restrictions and local regulation, Betsson’s Poker Room is unable to accept players from the USA, Canada, Israel, Norway, Turkey or Russia.  If you have an account at any other poker room in the MicroGaming network you can play in the Betsson poker room using your Microgaming account details.

Betsson, owned by BML Group, listed on Stockholm’s Nordic OMX Stock Exchange, is a company specialised in online gambling with over fifty years in business. The company has over one thousand employees and operates a successful range of online gaming and gambling products. Betsson’s main product offerings are its Sportsbook business, Casino, Poker Room, Bingo and Scratch Cards.

Originally a Swedish company, Betsson built its reputation on the Scandinavian market before expanding internationally and our head office is currently located in Malta. Betsson started life as long ago as 1963 when Rolf Lundstrom and Bill Lindwall opened a modest casino in Gothenburg’s Elegant Palace Hotel. The casino did well and the partners expanded into new locations in southern and central Sweden before joining forces with another young up-and-coming Swedish casino company and merging to form ‘Cherry’. Cherry went on to dominate the Swedish slots market in the 1970s as well as securing the position of Atari’s exclusive distributor in the UK and Scandinavian regions.

In the 1980s Cherry had success by expanding operations in Eastern Europe and was involved in joint ventures in the former-Yugoslavia with the national lottery structures as well as securing the very first casino license to be issued by Poland in 1989.

The 1990s saw the advent of the internet and Cherry was one of the first companies to spot the potential of the new technology, investing in Net Entertainment, a company developing the first online casino software. Cherrycasino.com also opened towards the end of the millennial year and technical work on Betsson.com started.

In the early Noughties, Betsson obtains a casino license, starts operations in a number of different countries and develops different products such as sportsbetting and its poker room and takes over the group’s other early online casinos such as CherryCasino.com.

In the intervening period Betsson has become one of the major online gambling companies in Europe and South America and is now heavily involved in developing the Asian market. The company has been recognised for its ethical approach to the industry and was crowned the Socially Responsible Operator of the Year in 2009.
