BETFAIR, the controversial betting exchange, has gained something of a reputation for throwing brickbats at its high street bookmaker rivals.

But the company was given a taste of its own medicine yesterday when an internet poker website disputed Betfair’s recent claim to be the “fastest-growing poker room in the world” .

“Surely some mistake,” cries my man at PokerRoom.com, the Stockholm-based business set up five years ago by two poker-mad young Swedes. “They say they’ve pulled in 7,000 new members in the last month. But we’re currently pulling in, on average, 7,000 new players a day.

“It looks like a case of a Swedish full house beating Betfair’s pair of aces.”
