Betsafe Poker: rakeback, bonus and how to sign up (2026)

Betsafe and the iPoker network

Betsafe is one of the brands of the Swedish Betsson group, next to Betsson and NordicBet. In poker, all three play on the iPoker network, by Playtech. That means that at a Betsafe table you meet players who logged in through Betsson, RedStar, NetBet, bet365 and other rooms on the network.

Since the tables are the same, the choice between Betsafe and Betsson usually comes down to each brand’s promotions and to which one accepts your country. Betsafe puts the spotlight on tournaments, especially the Elite Series.

Elite Series: the biggest tournaments on the network

The Elite Series is iPoker’s tournament festival, with a few editions a year. The numbers have grown a lot:

• Winter 2023/2024: €7 million guaranteed.
• Autumn 2025 (Ultimate Edition): €10 million guaranteed, the network’s biggest autumn series until then.
• New Year 2025/2026 (New Year’s Edition): €12.5 million guaranteed, with buy-ins from €1 to €1,000.

The figures are from PokerStrategy. Besides the main events, there are satellites with very low buy-ins, which let you play big tournaments for little money. The dates of the next editions are in the site’s lobby.

40% rakeback through RakebackPokerWorld

Rake is the fee the room takes from every cash game pot and from every tournament entry. Rakeback is the part of that fee that comes back to you. In tournaments, the fee is the part of the buy-in that does not go to the prize pool.

At Betsafe, players who open their account through our link get 40% rakeback through the RakebackPokerWorld deal. An example:

Rake paid in the month	40% rakeback
$100	$40
$300	$120
$1,000	$400

To run the numbers with your own rake, use the rakeback calculator. How and when the rakeback is paid is something you arrange with us on Telegram after you open the account.

Welcome bonus

Betsafe gives 100% up to €2,000 on your first deposit. As at almost every room, the bonus does not land in your balance all at once: it is released in steps as you play and generate rake.

Before you accept it, check the minimum deposit and the time limit to clear the bonus on the offer page. The RakebackPokerWorld rakeback applies with or without the bonus.

Games and HUD

Besides the tournaments, Betsafe has Texas Hold’em and Omaha cash games, Sit & Gos and Twister, the three-player Sit & Go with a random prize pool drawn before it starts.

The iPoker network allows HUDs: PokerTracker, Hold’em Manager and similar programs work at every room. Good for players who study their opponents. Recreational players should know they will find more regulars at the mid and high stakes tables. If you prefer tables without HUDs, look at Ignition Poker, which has anonymous tables.

Deposits and withdrawals

Betsafe accepts cards, e-wallets, Bitcoin and USDT, depending on your country. If you go the crypto route:

1. Buy Bitcoin or USDT on an exchange.
2. Copy the deposit address from the Betsafe cashier.
3. Send it from the exchange, checking the network the cashier indicates.
4. To cash out, request a crypto withdrawal and sell on the exchange.

The first time, send a small test amount. With USDT, which follows the dollar, your balance does not move with Bitcoin. See the step by step in how to deposit and withdraw Bitcoin at poker sites.

How to open your account

New account:

1. Click “Open an account at Betsafe Poker” at the top of this page. That is the link that ties your account to RakebackPokerWorld.
2. Fill in the sign-up form with your real details. The site may ask for an ID document before a withdrawal.
3. Download the poker software or open the mobile version and make your first deposit.
4. Send us your screen name on Telegram so we can register your rakeback.

Already have a Betsafe account? An account opened without our link usually does not qualify for the rakeback deal. Message us on Telegram to check your case before opening another account: the site does not allow two accounts for the same person.
