Euros ditch the dollar in search of safe online poker sites
In light of recent developments in the online poker world, European players - affectionately known as Euros (or Eurodonks by the Americans) - are switching away from previously US facing poker sites and looking for safe European sites to deposit their bankroll.
Most players want to move to a legal poker site for a number of reasons but most importantly they do not want to run the risk of seeing their hard earned bankroll confiscated by the FBI as US players found out to their cost on what has become known as Black Friday.
Betfair Poker Site
The first choice of many will be Betfair. The betting exchange, which handles millions of traded bets per day, is designed to 'ringfence' (keep separate) customers deposits, matched bets and winnings. The same function is used to safeguard all online poker deposits and winnings.
Before moving to the Ongame Network, one criticism of Betfair Poker was the software - it just seemed to tilt people - however one thing you always heard around the forums was how people trusted Betfair with their bankroll.
The move to a network and an upgrade in software has not only made the playing experience better but the increased liquidity means there are always plenty of games to choose from at all levels.
Not only is Betfair a safe site to deposit, it's online cash outs is one of the fastest of all the poker sites and you won't experience the problems faced by some players cashing out of Pokerstars and Full Tilt recently.
There are various deposit methods accepted by to play poker. Betfair accepts most commonly used credit and debit cards (Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Delta, MasterCard, Maestro, Solo, Laser) as well Paypal, Neteller, Moneybookers, Click and Buy, Bank Transfer, Western Union and if you still live in the Victorian age - cheques!
