Players who are used to the more generalized offerings of online casinos might be put off by the prospect of a site that focuses only on poker. However, poker is actually complex enough to merit sites of its own, and NordicBet happens to be one of the better-quality examples of such sites. Not only does it have a large number of poker variants, but the support features and tournaments are also very well put together. The software may be downloaded and saved. However, players who prefer not to do this can also play the games within their browsers.
Promotions and bonuses
Promos are an important part of the appeal of any gambling site, whether it is a casino or more narrowly-focused poker room. NordicBet is no different. Players are offered a small welcome bonus of €25 (which might be increased so as to be more competitive), plus a 30% loyalty bonus. A trip to Las Vegas is also offered as a possible prize. We might even count the tournaments, which are quite frequent, as promo events in themselves, which serve to attract customers and build a loyal, friendly community of players.
Casino's Games
Once again, this is an online poker room, not a general gambling site. It offers seven variants of poker: Texas Hold ‘Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, Razz, 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Stud, and 5 Card Draw. The site also offers tournaments, satellite tournaments, and tutorial pages for people who are not yet familiar with all the variants on offer. All in all, this poker site actually has more options than many of its competitors do.
Safety and security
The company claims that each customer’s deposits are kept in a separate bank account to maximize safety and transparency. Customer data sent over the Internet is kept safe with encryption technology. The site also claims to be licensed in Malta, so you now have some idea where to look if you want to research NordicBet Poker’s legitimacy.
Support
If you need a little help using the site, you can reach customer support employees through e-mails, telephone calls, or live chat sessions. Unfortunately, telephone help is only available from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Central European Time, so customers in certain time zones might find it very difficult to make calls. Other gambling sites offer help 24/7, so they would have that advantage over NordicBet. There is also an FAQ page, so you might actually want to scan that one first before trying out the support options. You might even want to read it before you start playing, as the information there might prevent you from running into certain common problems.
Language
The somewhat limited language options at this site are weirdly appropriate, given its name. Besides English, all the other languages on offer belong to Nordic or Scandinavian nations: Finnish, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian. One wonders if expanding the language options would mean that this site could no longer be called NordicBet. Perhaps Eurobet would still work?
US Players
Players from the US are not allowed at NordicBet Poker.
