Ring Game Traffic (8)

Traffic at bwin Poker is very good - especially in the Hold’em games, although more and more players are showing interest in the Draw, Stud and Omaha games.

Traffic is definitely higher at European peak times, given the player base, but overall bwin Poker is a site with very good ring-game traffic at almost all hours.

bwin Poker has peak cash game traffic of 5,500 real-money players at peak hours (November 2009).

Soft Competition (7)

bwin Poker offers games at most levels of 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.

Rake (6)

The rake at bwin Poker follows the industry standard of 5%, which caps at $1 for heads-up, $2 for three-to-four players and $3 for more than five players.

In No-Limit the rake is 1¢ per 20¢ at anything below 25¢/50¢ while anything higher than that is 5¢ per $1.

As far as Limit goes anything lower than 50¢/$1 is raked at 1¢ per 20¢ rate while 50¢/$1 to $2/$4 is raked at 5¢ per $1. Anything above $2/$4 is raked at 25¢ per $5.
