Summary
 Ukbetting Poker is virtually the same as Totalbet Poker. Both are run by sportinglife.com, and so the similarities are great. The main difference I could see was that ukbetting is more focused on being a UK site, while Totalbet describes itself as a ‘world’ site. Therefore, the descriptions here are pretty much the same as those of the Totalbet review. UKbetting poker uses CryptoLogic software so it has a large shared player base. Its sister sites are based around sports betting; so many players have come over from these sites and are often inexperienced at poker. For those new to on-line poker this website has free play tables and tutorials to help you get started. For those not so new at poker, this can be a good site for making money because of the percentage of inexperienced players.

Games
UKbetting Poker has the usual variety of games, featuring the popular Texas hold’em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo, and seven card stud as well as Heads up. All the games feature fixed limit tables, with limits ranging from 25c - $200. There are also a number of single and multi table tournaments that can be entered through the website. The average number of players at peak times is between 2200-2400 at both the tables and tournaments, making UKbetting Poker one of the quickest growing player bases.

Navigation
The site is fairly easy to navigate with clear headings and descriptions. The promotions, support and security are easy to look in to, and the tournaments, games and FAQ’s are clearly set out. There are also quick links to the Casino, Sportsbook and games. The lobby allows you to see at a glance the tables in play, including the type of game, the stakes, the number of players, wait time, the average pot, the flop % and hours in play.

Bonuses/Promotions
Totalbet Poker has a range of promotions and bonuses. There is a monthly bonus of £25, paid as long as you reach 200 raked hands that month. UKbetting poker rewards loyalty with their MPP (My Poker Points) scheme which are earned through raked hands; a raked hand being a hand that has taken at least £1 as rake. A rake under £1 and above 25p will count as a quarter rake towards your bonus. As long as you have been dealt cards in the hand you do not have to have contributed to the pot in order for it to count towards your points. These points can then be used for entry in to tournaments. UKbetting Poker also has a proposition player program where players are paid up to £20 an hour for up to two hours to play at certain tables that are new or short-handed. There are daily competitions, that change continuously so it is worth checking and trying to play on days when there is an extra chance at winning, and there is also a bad beat jackpot that increases daily.

Rake
The rake at UKbetting is quite high at 5% on every pot over £5, up to a maximum of £3. They operate a no flop no drop policy, so no rake is taken on pots that do not reach the flop.

Deposits/Withdrawals
Deposits can be made with most major credit cards, cheques, wire transfers or a variety of online transfer options. A pin is required to take cash out which should be sent out by post after the first deposit is made. The options for taking cash out are credit cards, wire transfer cheque and a limited variety of online transfer options.

Customer Service
There is also 24 hour customer support if needed, both by email and telephone.
