Being developed by Connective Games, this saw BetOnline’s popularity soar even higher, which is why it still remains as a favourite in the American market. To begin with, the poker platform held a contract with the Chico software brand, but in 2016, this contract was not renewed, and instead, a new proprietary poker client was released.
Originating in Costa Rica, but experiencing rapid growth as an online sportsbook, BetOnline moved to the online sphere in 2001 and it wasn’t long before everything was moved to the country of Panama, which is where it still bases itself from today. That hasn’t proved to be a bad thing, as the brand was able to take advantage of the issues surrounding Black Friday at that time and swiftly propel itself up the popularity ladder. The poker brand may have been around since 1991, but its online poker operation only came into effect in 2011.
BetOnline Poker has been called by many as one of the best poker site in the US market.
