By David Patron

Fat Bet Poker made the decision that it wasn't enough to be the premier backgammon company, they wanted to make that claim in the world of online poker as well. They have extensive gaming experience in nine languages, no less, which gives you a clue about their efforts to exclude no one from their gaming community. The Melita Gaming Network is their backer and since this is the network that is the original real money online backgammon company, Fat Bet is definitely in the gaming forefront. Fat Bet is owned and managed by TMG Ltd, and all are keeping the focus on a high level of customer service and satisfaction.

The software is a piece of cake to download and allows players to engage in up to twelve tables of poker simultaneously to bring out the beast in you multi-table wizards. The application opens to a sweet latest news bubble which is really fun and informative. The screen layout is clean and elegant allowing players to learn their way around without difficulty so they can delve into everything the site has to offer.

There is a tools drop menu with an option called free discounts and a Show Poker Statistics option giving players unique insight into game strategies. The player table window is a useful and interesting option also that puts a flag by the player designating which country he is from.
