SportBet Poker Review
Professional Rakeback SportBet Poker site review; a US friendly poker site, online casino, and sportsbook.
Professional Rakeback Sportbet Review
SportBet is a sister company to 5Dimes. We at Professional Rakeback actually prefer them to 5 Dimes because sometimes the sportsbetting lines are superior to 5D, though other than that, we know of no other differences in the gambling products that the two companies offer. Both sites pay out equally fast whether it be for sportsbetting, casino games, or online poker winnings. Both companies are consistently rated "top tier" or "Grade A" by myriad poker, casino, and sbetting review websites. You can check our Poker Payout Report for detailed information if you want to go over the numbers. We at PROFRB tend to agree as we rarely receive negative feedback about SB or 5D.
Poker Room
Sportbet is a part of the Grand Poker Network. GPN is the network that 5Dimes owns and operates. All of the properties owned by the 5Dimes group, as well as 3rd party providers connect to this network and share players, thus increasing the amount of games available to play.
After breaking away from the Equity Poker Network, 5D group (the owners of Sportbet) opened their own internal pokerroom Grand Poker, a network whichdoes not share players with other online gaming networks but uses their own custom poker software and player pool. They offer mainly No Limit Texas Holdem and Pot Limit Omaha cash games as well as small stakes NLHE tournaments. Outside of those games, they offer sit-and-goes as well as other forms of poker, but they almost never run due to a lack of popularity.
The software is clean, responsive and crisp. It works on almost all platforms as well, including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and has an instant-play browser feature that runs on most Linux boxes and indeed any browser with a full GUI interface.
SportBet rakeback is available once you sign up and it's nothing short of wonderful. Players will earn points by playing poker, and these points can be traded in for rakeback. The method used is unique to this network. You will spend your points on "Advance To Go" sit and go tournaments. The winner of the tournament gets 100% rakeback on the points spent. Everyone else who registered gets 50% rakeback. The good news is that they run many of these tournaments and it's rare to see more than 4 or 5 people register for any given ATG SNG. As such, a player can expect to earn an aggregate rakeback rate of about 70-75%!
On top of the wonderful rakeback, you will be pleased to know that the rake is very low on Sportbet. How low? Check out our Poker Rake Comparison where they win the highest marks in an overwhelming majority of categories. Rake is calculated using contributed methodology.
