Ian JohnBet365 have really been giving their poker offering a work out over the last few months and the good news is that it is not just mobile poker players that are now receiving the benefit. That is 
because on Thursday 7th October, Bet365’s newest poker Client Software finally became available for download.
Of course, releasing new client software, which will change the fundamentals of how users access the site and play poker with Bet365 is always a nervous time for a company. Punters in general don’t like too many changes but there is a good argument that the Bet365 Poker client did need updating.
The older version of the client worked fine and contained everything you needed to enjoy poker with the company. However it was a very ‘clunky’ piece of software with long lists of tournaments and sit & go’s in particular to wade through, often with small text and some annoying navigation issues which meant that finding some things on the software wasn’t particularly easy or logical.
There was also the issue with the actual presentation too, which did look a little outdated and ‘cartoon’ style compared to some of the software other companies offered.
What’s changed in the new software?
Content
When it comes to actual content, what you can access on the new poker software is pretty much the same as what you would have been able to access on the older versions. In terms of the number of poker games you can play and all of the other features available on the Bet365 Poker site, you can access the same in the new software as the old.
What is different is a direct link to the Bet365 Casino, which offers you the chance to play a number of casino games direct from within the poker browser, in addition to the slot-based mini games that loaded up on the older version (and which are still present in the new).
You can still access all Bet365’s poker games, premium tables, Twister Poker and more as well as participate in all the sites promotions and offers. And of course, if you aren’t yet a customer, you can claim a Bet365 Poker no deposit offer when you create your new account to try out this new software.
Navigation
If the content of the software hasn’t changed a huge amount, then the navigation aspect has changed considerably. Rather than having long lists of games, the new software gives players a much easier to follow view of the different games available.
Of course, there are still lists of games to play (especially in MTT and Cash Tables) but the way you navigate to the tables is radically different and much more logical, through a series of tabs which link through to where you want to get to.
For example, if you want to check the status of your VIP Merit Points, you’d go on My Account and then click on the VIP option and your merit points earned are displayed. That same logic is followed through on all the tabs on the front page and the net result is that navigating to all the different parts of the site, especially those concerned with merit points, promotions and other bonuses, is far easier.
Presentation
Without doubt the most striking thing about the new Bet365 Poker client is in how it looks. It is radically different to the original, but retains many of the elements that made the 
original so popular.
The quality of the layout and how the menus are presented are much more modern and easier to follow and read. The graphics, especially when the poker table is loaded and a game is in progress, are far better than the original software and the update of the font and livery of the new client has brought it bang into the 21st century.
The quality of the graphics is such now that on quality HD screens you can appreciate the difference notably and the hushed tones of the poker table, as opposed to the garish green, also make that look far more elegant and stylish too.
The new poker client software is a big step that has seen the client evolve into a stylish piece of software to represent Bet365 Poker in the 21st century and in doing so, it addresses all the criticism’s and concerns that punters had about the older version quite beautifully.
Download the new software from Bet365 Poker now and see for yourself how good the new client plays and looks.
