TonyBet

Independent online poker room TonyBet made its microstakes cash games rake free to promote the introduction of Hold’em and Omaha tables.

While in a testing phase, only microstakes cash games are spread. Higher stakes tables and tournaments will come soon.

Since inception, TonyBet has only spread Chinese Poker and related variants, a format other poker rooms have either eschewed or ignored. Last week’s update signals a change in strategy and a bid to spread more traditional poker games.
