The site mainly focuses on small to mid-stakes games. Limit games range from 25¢/50¢ to $50/$100 and No-Limit games range from 10¢/20¢ to $10/$20.

Sportsbook Poker takes rake at a maximum of $1 for limit games below $2/$4 and a maximum of $3 for games above that. No-Limit games are raked at 5¢ per dollar with a maximum of $1 for up to three players in a hand and $2 for four to 5 players in the hand and $3 for six or more players.

Tournaments

Sportsbook Poker mainly spreads tournaments of Texas Hold'em, but it spreads a lot of them which helps make up for the lack of game variation. You can find tournaments with buy-ins as little as $1 up to several hundred dollars.

Along with the various daily multi-table tournaments and sit&gos which all tend to be very well populated, there are weekly tournaments including a $100,000 guaranteed and a $50,000 guaranteed. Plus Sportsbook Poker also offers a monthly $250,000 guaranteed tournament. They also offer a variety of satellites and qualifiers to some of the top live tournameents around the world such as the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour.

If you're looking for something a little different, Sportsbook Poker also have a few special tournaments to offer. They offer super turbos and lightning tournaments that speed up the tournament action, plus Kamikaze sit&gos where everyone is all-in every hand. There are also Double-Ups where the top five out of 10 players in a sit&go double their money.

Rewards

At Sportsbook Poker players are rewarded through the Gold Chip program. You earn gold chips for every raked hand you play or every tournament you enter. Gold Cards are also handed out at random to reward players. These gold chips and cards can be redeemed for prizes or used to enter tournaments.

Traffic

You can almost always find a good game in the lower to mid limits at Sportsbook Poker. The site has great traffic to those limits, and there is usually at least one or two bigger limit games going if you don't mind waiting for a seat. The traffic is mostly high for the No-Limit Hold'em games and some of the Pot-Limit Omaha games, and Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo have a harder time getting a full table going.

At peak hours, Sportsbook Poker has known to get as many as 6,000 real-money tournament players at peak hours and just under 2,000 cash-game players. This is on the low side for online poker traffice, but the players that do show up are active.
