Optibet Poker Review

Optibet Poker is a Latvian poker room, member of the iPoker Network. It's owned and operated by the local company Optibet LLC and operates under a gaming license issued by the Government of Latvia.

In other words, Optibet Poker is one of the few legal poker rooms in Latvia and Estonia. The combination of high traffic (over 7,000 connections during peak hours), good rakeback, and the possibility to use a HUD make this room the best option for players living in the Baltic States.

Welcome bonus

All new players in the poker rooms are eligible for a 200% bonus up to €2,0000. However, such bonus is divided into two stages:

• 200% up to €800 — €2 released for €10 paid in rake (20% rakeback). Wagering time up to 60 days;
• 200% up to €1,200 — €1 is paid for every €10 in rake (10% rakeback). The wagering time is higher, 90 days in total.

The total rakeback when the welcome bonus is active can be up to 55%.

You don't need to worry about entering a bonus code to activate the promotion. It is credited automatically to your account after the first deposit of at least €10.

Optibet Poker rakeback

The VIP system is divided into five levels:

Grinders must exchange VIP-points in the "My Account > VIP" section in the client at a rate of 100 points for 1€. We say "must" because all non-exchange points will be burned after one year.

The exchange of points depends on the level, and it gives from 10% to 35% rakeback.

Please contact our manager about a rakeback deal at Optibet Poker.

Rake structure

Optibet Poker charges a standard rake of 5%—6,67%, although the second number is considered high. The site uses a weighted contributed system.

But, the rake distribution between players isn't standard at Optibet Poker. The site uses its private formula (Source Based Rake) SBR that takes into account users' actions like deposits and withdrawals and the tables' results. Afterward, a winning grinder will be accounted for less rake, and amateurs will get more.

• MTTs — 10% fee;
• Twister — 7% rake.

Traffic and game variety

Optibet Poker boasts up to 7,000 connections during the European prime time. Five games are popular in the room:

1. 6-max Hold'em and Omaha tables with stakes ranging from €0,01/€0,02 to €5/€10;
2. Fast-fold poker (Speed Poker) from NL5€ to NL200€;
3. 6+ Hold'em with bets from €0,02/€0,05 to €1/€2;
4. Multi-table tournaments;
5. Twister spins

Cash Games

Virtually all tables in Optibet Poker are played in 6-max format. Up to 10-15 tables can be spotted on games from NL2€ to NL€100, and probably five per stake from NL€200 — NL1k€.

Other formats are available, but the action is limited to low stakes and just a few tables. For example, Omaha gathers only 4-6 tables up to PLO100€.

Optibet Poker restricts table selection and doesn't have waiting lists. You can say goodbye to bumhunting or targeting players here.

Tournaments

The tournament grid in Optibet Poker consists of several MTTs with guaranteed prize pools up to €50k. Buy-ins range from €0,20 to €100.

Main tournaments:

1. The Main Sweat €12,000 GTD for €50.
2. €12,000 First of Fury, €20 buy-in.
3. The Main Sunday Sweat €40,000 GTD for €100.
4. €50,000 GTD Ultimate Sweat, €100 buy-in.

Optibet runs different poker series across the year, including PKO events.

Twister Spins

Lottery SnG in Optibet Poker is called Twister. Players have seven stakes to choose from 1 to 100 euros.

Its structure is very similar to other spins: 3-max fast-paced tournaments with a random prize pool determined by a multiplier at the beginning of the event.

Taxes and banking options

The laws of Latvia govern the poker room, and this can be evidenced in the cashier.

The following payment methods are available to players:

No commissions are charged, so if you get less money, better check with your bank. Withdrawals are processed within three days, and the status can be checked under the "My Account" section in the client.

According to the local laws on personal income tax, poker players must pay taxes on all transactions received to their bank accounts from poker rooms:

• If a one-time withdrawal exceeds €3,000, the tax rate is 23%, and the operator automatically deducts it. This rule applies to all withdrawals made during the year;
• If a player withdraws less than €3,000 during a year, no tax is charged;
• On the other hand, the player must declare and pay taxes if the overall withdrawals in one year exceed €3,000.
• If the total winnings during a year are over €55k, the rake rise to 31,4%.

Software review

Optibet is powered by Playtech software. The gaming client has a dark interface.

The software can be download and installed only on computers running Windows. A browser client is a solution for macOS computers.

Client features:

• Compatible with all poker trackers and HUDs;
• No waiting lists;
• No targeting players.

Our free layout can be installed by using the iPoker Tools add-on.

Optibet Poker mobile app

Android fans can download a native client of Optibet Poker to their gadgets. If you are using an iPhone or an iPad, you have nothing to worry about: the web-browser client is compatible, and it won't affect the game's performance.

The mobile client allows you to join up to four simultaneous tables and access all the games that the PC client does.
