SOFTWARE:
Betsson poker makes use of Java based software that enables gamers to play the online poker games directly from the browser without having to download the software in the user PC. However, it keeps the option of software download open to those who want to do so. If to compare the two options, the software download one has more features than the direct play Java version. The Betsson poker software is quick, clean and easy to use as well. The lobby looks good and should not cause any confusion to the gamers.
The Betsson software will allow you play multiple tables (up to a max of 8 tables simultaneously) in order to be able to generate poker points faster.

TOURNAMENTS
As any respectable online poker room, Betsson features a large number of tournaments (both STTs and MTTs) running all the time to keep their players busy. Almost all these tourneys are NL Holdem ones, only a few of them feature PL Omaha. Notable tourneys are their daily $250 freerolls, which are replaced by a $500 one on Sunday. Their $50+$4 Can daily NL Holdem tourneys are also fairly popular as they feature quite generous prize-pools. The Midnight Oil ($20+$2 NL Holdem) tournaments are another daily feature as well as the Aussie daily.
Almost all of their daily schedule gets repeated throughout the week, with bigger prizes featured on weekends.
One of the Betsson tournament flagships is their monthly $500,000 guaranteed “Grand Tournament” which features bigger and bigger prize-pools as more and more players reach the conclusion that it is worth investing $1,000 into it. The buy-in is pretty restrictive, so Betsson has made sure players of more modest material means can also gain access through a series of qualifiers.
