Tonybet

Tonybet Poker Poker Closed

Please note: Unfortunately Tonybet closed their poker platform in autumn 2020.

We recommend playing at one of those poker sites instead:

If you're a poker fan from the 90s and '00s you'll recognize the "Tony" in TonyBet as none other than one of the original "Bad Boys of Poker," Antanas "Tony G." Guoga.

Famed for his aggressive tone at the table and "On Your Bike" send-off to vanquished opponents, Tony G. made a name for himself around the world as one of poker's most popular antagonists.

After being elected into the European parliament Guoga has taken a step back from poker as a player but, having bought out OmniBet in 2003, jumped into the poker, sportsbetting and casino game as an operator with TonyBet.

TonyBet: From OFC to eSports

What makes TonyBet unique - and a fan favorite for a lot of punters - is its three-pronged approach to serving its customers.

On the poker side, TonyBet offers the usual assortment of cash games and tournaments. But where it really stands out is in its unique offerings that other poker sites don't have.
Namely Chinese Poker & Open-Face Chinese Poker.

TonyBet was one of the pioneers in the OFC app space and still is probably the leading purveyor of all its variants. And one of the only places online poker players can get an OFC fix. New games like Pineapple 2-7 are also being added to make the OFC offerings even more extensive.

Meanwhile, on the sportsbetting side, players can take advantage of live in-play betting. Plus, a huge assortment of sports options from Premier League to Handball to Aussie Rules to Darts and Rugby Union. Another nice twist you can find on TonyBet: eSports betting and Politics. 

TonyBets' wide slate of betting choices is long and growing so will satisfy virtually any bettor. And even open up some doors to a wider array of betting propositions and money-making opportunities. On the casino side, TonyBet also offers a wide range of table games, slots and casino favourites. Including games with Live dealers. Making it one of the most well-rounded gambling/poker sites online.

BONUS DETAILS

TOURNAMENTS AND FREEROLLS

TonyBet OFC Tournaments

TonyBet has some standard OFC poker MTTs on its schedule (Daily €15 freerolls and up to €1,000 GTD) but its star attraction is definitely its signature OFC Freerolls and SnGs. OFC Sit & Gos (SnGs) are plentiful and come in Heads-Up, 3-handed and 4-handed formats. Buy-ins range from €1 up to €250 for a lot of different bankroll options.

Heads-Up players can also take part in the SnG HU Challenge with €1,000 in guaranteed prize pools. At the end of every week/ month the Top 18 get cash prizes.

TonyBet OFC Freerolls

Tonybet Poker has a ton of Open Face Chinese freerolls that give away cash prizes plus tickets to MTT satellites. TonyBet Freerolls run in all the most popular OFC formats including Pineapple, Progressive, Pineapple 2-7 and Turbo.

TonyBet OFC Satellites and Live Satellites

TonyBet's OFC satellites start small and run frequently. Giving new players starting out or those with smaller bankrolls a chance to ladder up into the bigger events.

TonyBet also offers a unique opportunity to play into their one-of-a-kind OFC Live Events (when they run). Back in 2014 TonyBet Poker ran the first-ever online OFC Poker series, the OFC Opener, with over €30,000 in guaranteed cash prizes. It also had a go at the live poker scene in Prague in 2014 as it hosted a €1,000 Main Event and a €10,000 High Roller.

Up to 80% Rakeback & 1% Rake on OFC!

Oh, and we have to mention the 25-80% rakeback weekly. Rake is calculated by the amount in the pot at the end of each hand. And your rakeback amount depends on your performance at the Texas Holdem and Omaha tables. TonyBet also caps its rake at 1% for all OFC games. No rake is charged if there's no flop. Pot-Limit Omaha and No-Limit Hold’em cash games are raked at 5% after the flop.

SOFTWARE AND GRAPHICS

The TonyBet software is nothing spectacular but it's fast, efficient and user-friendly. All the info you need to play poker or make a bet is laid out fairly well. Thus making it pretty easy to navigate the website to where you want to go. The color scheme is a pleasing purple/orange/black with the usual functions you'd expect for a poker/betting/casino suite.

The OFC software itself is quite good and. Since it's pretty much the only OFC game in town, doesn't really have to be much more than it is.

The online casino games are provided by Microgaming, NetEnt and Evolution Gaming so they are of standard, high quality. Live casino games are a nice feature.

TonyBet Mobile App

Where TonyBet excels is in the TonyBet mobile app. The app is available for both iOs and Android and is very intuitive with all sections easy to navigate. You can download the mobile app from the Apple store or the site itself.

In particular the TonyBet app makes live in-game betting very easy. Odds are easy to find and read and, once you've got your account set up properly, is a snap to make bets with just a tap. You can follow live games and play the lottery easily on your mobile device and deposits/withdrawals are just an easy swipe.

SOFT COMPETITION

Is the competition tough at TonyBet? Well, that depends on how good you are at Open Face Chinese or Pineapple. Those variants tend to bring out a few pros. But there are also TONS of amateurs who like to punt around on the OFC games because they're really fun.

OFC strategy is a very specific skill unrelated to someone's No-Limit Holdem or PLO prowess. So you'll find lots of players making big mistakes setting their hands. If you know even a little about proper Pineapple or OFC strategy you'll be well ahead of the game.

As for the sportsbetting, TonyBet doesn't offer the absolute best odds you can find. But they're well within industry standards. Given the wide range of sporting (and other) events you can bet on, you can also find very good prices. Especially for something you might not usually bet on. Meanwhile, the casino games are, well, casino games. You know what you're going to get as far as house edge in casino goes. Including online blackjack, online roulette, online slots and online craps.
