For a good while now, Bet365 Poker players have been able to play a small number of Casino games from within the Bet365 Poker lobby using their Bet365 Poker funds. However, with the
new software upgrade, a huge number of additional Casino games are now available to play direct from the poker client.
In this article, we’ll examine more about these games, what they are, how they are funded and any rules surrounding their use based on Bet365 Poker and other sister sites in the Bet365 network.
Remember, all you need to do to play these games is join Bet365 Poker now. Get the latest Bet365 Poker bonus code by clicking the link and sign up now to play.
What are Bet365 Poker’s Lobby Games?
Bet365 Poker’s extensive choice of Lobby Games as they were originally called are simply a number of casino games and slot games that you can play direct from within the Bet365 Poker lobby without having to log out and play at a Bet365 sister site such as Bet365 Vegas or Bet365 Casino or similar.
As we mentioned before, these games were originally called Lobby Games, but they have been rebranded in the new software and when you load up the Poker client, you will find all the casino games you can play from within the Poker client under the Casino option.
This is not a link to the games you find at Bet365 Casino, but simply the Casino games you can play using your Bet365 Poker account and from within the Bet365 Poker software.
Since the release of the new Bet365 Poker client software, there are a far greater number of Casino games you can play from within Bet365 Poker than were available previously.

Do I need to be a member of Bet365 Casino/Games/Vegas to play the Lobby games?
You do not need to have activated your Bet365 Games, Bet365 Casino or Bet365 Vegas accounts in order to play any of the games available under the Casino tab in the Bet365 Poker lobby. However, once you sign up to Bet365 Poker, your account will automatically include accounts for each of these sites (plus Bet365 Bingo and Bet365 Sports).
However, you do not need to have accessed these accounts in order to play any games available at Bet365 Poker. Indeed, if you are to take full advantage of all the bonuses available to you, it is prudent not to access these accounts until all your bonuses have expired at Bet365 Poker.
If I play a Lobby Game, which account is the money taken from and where are the winnings paid to?
If you play a game at Bet365 Poker from the Casino section in the lobby, then the funds used to play the game will come from your Bet365 Poker account and unless you are using a special promotion (such as the 10 free spins as a new player) then you will need to have a funded account with cash available to be withdrawn in order to play the games.
Do Lobby Games count as part of a Bet365 Casino/Games/Vegas promotion?
No, if you are participating in a promotion as part of Bet365 Casino, Bet365 Vegas or Bet365 Games, or indeed any Bet365 site (other than Bet365 Poker) that is offering a promotion based on slot games or casino games, then you will need to play on the games on that site in order to qualify for the promotion.
This is the case even if you can play the same game at Bet365 Poker as you can on any of the other sites. The reason for this is because your Bet365 Poker account funds the games that you play from within the Bet365 Poker browser at the Casino option. With promotions on other sites, the funds must come from the account linked with that site in order for your play to be eligible for the promotion.
Can I use my New Player free spins in the Lobby Games?
Yes, part of the reason for offering new customers at Bet365 Poker the chance to have 10 Free Spins as part of their new sign up was to highlight the increased number of games available and the far greater choice now available in the Lobby Games.
Indeed, you can ONLY use your 10 Free Spins as a new customer with Bet365 Poker in the Lobby Games section, or as it is now labelled in the software, casino section.
There is a wide choice of different slot games you can play within the section all of which are available for you to play your 10 free spins on.
Can I play poker and play a Lobby Game at the same time?
Yes you can, you can play a Lobby Game and at a poker table (or tables) in the same way as you would multi-table with Bet365.
Simply load up your Poker game of choice and then head back to the Lobby (which may be hidden under the pop up window – you can drag the Poker Table screen around until you find the Lobby). When you find it click on Casino and then you can select any of the games available to play.
When you choose a game, it will open in a separate window, so you can play the slot game, or table game of your choice while you are playing at the tables.
I don’t want to play Lobby Games at the poker table.
Thats fine, if you don’t want to play a Lobby Game while you are at the poker tables, then simply load up your choice of poker game and play it as you would normally without opening any of the games under the Casino section in the lobby.
Since the last update, the Lobby Games section no longer appears next to the table when you load it up, so now if you want to focus solely on poker you can do so. You don’t have to close the Lobby box down any longer.
