Blue Sq Poker Review
About Blue Sq Poker
Blue Square was launched on 5th May 1999 and is one of the largest interactive betting services in the UK. The product suite offered by Blue Square has grown from its traditional bookmaking business to now offer all aspects of the gaming market including casino, slots and poker with a goal to increase the product range in the near future. The fixed odds betting services covers many channels including the Internet, Interactive TV, WAP and telephone.
Blue Square was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Intercapital Group Ltd (ICAP) until January 2003 when it was acquired by Rank, one of the UK’s leading leisure and entertainment companies. Rank’s assets include casinos, bingo clubs and on-line gaming. Blue Square was integrated with Rank Interactive Gaming to create a major force in on-line gaming with a combined customer base of over 750,000 customers.
Network / Traffic
Blue Sq runs on the Ipoker network which is the 3rd biggest online poker network behind Poker Stars and Full Tilt although Blue Sq does not accept players from the US.
Satellites
Perhaps the biggest draw to signing up to Blue Sq is that Blue Sq is the home of the GUKPT. This is the largest UK live poker tour which runs each month at different locations throughout the UK. Entry to the main event is usually £1000 but you can win a seat online for as little as £1 or even for free if you get lucky in one of the many freerolls.
Bonus / Rakeback
Ipoker ban rakeback across the network but Blue Sq do have their own VIP scheme so that you are rewarded for your play. They also have a $500 match bonus for all new sign ups.
