What we like

  • Largest room in the France-Spain-Portugal shared pool
  • Modern client with the Expresso jackpot format
  • Strong live tour with satellites

What we don't

  • Licensed only in France and Spain
  • No mixed games

Games and traffic

Winamax is the rare independent that beat PokerStars in its home market. Its client is fast, its Expresso jackpot sit-and-gos are the busiest in Europe, and its tournament series set the calendar for French and Spanish players. It has never sought licences outside those two markets.

Verdict

The first choice for anyone playing under a French or Spanish licence. Not available anywhere else.
