Tournaments and Freerolls
bwin Poker offers a massive amount of tournaments throughout the day - most of which are busy and fast.
The weekly $25,000 and $1000,000 tournaments draw a huge number of players, as do the many qualifiers to big live and online poker events like the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. The biggest tournament available is the weekly $200k guaranteed ChampionChip, which attracts huge fields.
bwin Poker also runs a variety of freeroll tournaments with some very lucrative rewards. It's possible to qualify for the $200k ChampionChip via freerolls and even nab a seat at the $10,000 buy-in Aussie Millions main event.
Software and Graphics
bwin Poker offers sleek, simple and easy-to-use software. A new client has also added a bunch of great new features including resizable tables, a real-time tournament lobby and sit-and-go queues.
bwin Poker supports play at over 15 tables simultaneously and the multi-table experience is very good. bwin Poker has also introduced a new downloadable Mac client with no reduction of features from the Windows version. An added bonus is a mobile poker client.
The bwin Poker software offers very clean and crisp graphics - something that has become a trademark of any Ongame software. The four-color decks are also very nicely designed and the felt is a sleek black.
Unique features include all-in stats during a hand, action hot keys and real-money mobile poker. Perhaps the best feature is the unique Session Browser, which lets you see everything about the session you just played.

Soft Competition
Games are very soft at the lowest levels of Limit and No-limit Hold'em, while the high-stakes games definitely provide stiffer competition.
The Ongame network is somewhat of a favorite for the really talented European high stakes pros, making the highest stakes games very hard to beat. Still, you can at times find $5/$10 No-Limit Hold’em tables with a viewed-flop percentage of 35-40%. Overall, many Hold'em games have a viewed-flop percentage in the 40-50% range.
