Summary
As part of the Boss Network, Bet Direct Poker has a large shared player base, which continues to grow quickly. It is also part of the well known Littlewoods gaming so it will be one of the most secure sites. There is fairly good traffic on Bet Direct Poker, especially at the Texas Hold’em tables.
For new players there is a ‘practice for free’ option that allows you to get a feel for the game before risking your money. You can also take lessons from the professionals to brush up on your skills. As the games here are quite loose it is fairly easy to get a return on your investment, and the statistics feature allows you to check out not only your own game but those of your opponents.

Games
Bet Direct Poker offers the usual Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven card stud and Five card draw. The limits range offer a good scope for games depending on your level, and you can play in a range of different currencies. There are a few tournaments, including freeroll, single and multi table, the schedule for which should be updated daily.

Navigation
The home page is clear and easy to navigate though things like the rake percentage are not listed. The lobby graphics are clear showing the currency of the table, the type, stakes, players, wait, flop percentage, hands played, and average pot. Your balance and pending bonus can also be checked, and to select the currency you wish to play in just click on the corresponding flag. The table graphics are good, with the dark surround causing you to focus immediately on the game itself which uses large card graphics.
