Software - good
Good and generally glitch free. Cool extra options such as player notes and the possiblity of seeing what you've folded whilst the hand is still in play. An excellent hand history display too with very nice graphic display.
Playability - very good
Simple and intuitive with options clearly marked and easy to use. The lobby is well set out and problem free. Playtech's gaming software is certainly one of the most playable on the net.
Traffic - good
Blue Square Poker's software and player base belongs to the ever expanding Ipoker Network which means it is part of one of the biggest player bases available to the Non US Friendly sites. Plenty of tournament options and always playable cash tables of various type and limits at all hours.
Support - good
Generally fast and of high quality. There is online support available too although this can have anything up to a 15 minute wait. Once through, the service is friendly and helpful. Cash out time is average to good.
Summary - good
The Playtech software / Ipoker Network combination has been a winning combination for some years now. Even with the loss of it's US players, this network is one of the strongest on the net. Add this to the already strong Grosvenor Casino connections and it isn't hard to see why this is swiftly becoming an online favourite. Lots of guaranteed tournaments, busy ring games, great promotions and a strong secure network !

Extra Information :
First Deposit Sign-Up Bonus
This offer is only valid to depositing players making their FIRST deposit at Blue Square Poker.
The First Deposit Signup Bonus is released to players as they earn "Knockout" Poker Points at ring games and tournaments.
At ring games, Points are awarded to players for each hand in which they participate, as long as the hand is raked, no matter whether the player contributed to the pot by placing a blind or a bet, or whether the player folded. Points are also awarded based on the fees paid by the player when buying-in to a tournament.
Bonuses are released to players according to the number of Points a player has earned:
eg. K.O Points Bonus 600 = $10
For each 600 Points a player earns, a $10 bonus will be issued. A player who has earned 580 Points will need to earn another 20 Points to receive a bonus payment.
Players who deposit in GBP or EUR will receive their bonuses according to the maximum USD amount, converted automatically into their own currencies.
Bonus money will be released to a player's account automatically as they earn Points. Players can check the "My Account" page of the Blue Square Poker Lobby to see their pending Bonus Balance and their Blue Square Point Balance.
Players will continue to accumulate Points as they play, and further releases of bonuses will be made automatically.
Players qualifying for this unique offer have three months to accumulate the necessary Points entitling them to their First Deposit Signup Bonus.
