Betfair has claimed today that its recently launched poker room is ‘the fastest growing in the industry’. The betting exchange said that since its launch in May it has signed in excess of 15,000 users, with 7,000 active users on a monthly basis and estimates that these figures already represent more than half of William Hill’s poker room and about 30 per cent of Ladbrokes’ poker room.
“Since our launch…existing Betfair community has helped greatly in setting up the dynamics of our poker room. Existing customers are continuing to sign up and opening the room to a broader audience will further enhance liquidity,” said Ben Fried, Betfair’s poker manager. “Betfair Poker is a one-stop shop for all our customers’ gaming requirements and this unique service will attract new customers to both poker and the betting exchange going forward.”
Betfair Poker is opening its doors to new players on Sunday 10th October when it holds its first tournament, first prize £100,000.
