The 888.com brand is a name that all European and UK gambling enthusiasts are familiar with. The all-in-one gambling site offers a world-class online casino, a comprehensive sports betting platform and the second largest Poker online site in the world. Launched in 2002 and licenced in Gibraltar, 888Poker has a strong focus on the western market, delivering consistent, medium to high traffic cash games and tournament with Omaha, Hold’em and Stud. 888 is mostly known for their generous welcome offers and speedy response times.
888 has a sleek, easy-to-use interface that is fun to use and simple to navigate. Players can easily find their way to whatever game they are looking for and move from table to table without getting lost on the way. The actual look and feel of the site is top-class with high definition graphics and realistic virtual tables, making the experience as immersive as possible. For mobile users, the Poker site offers both an instant-play option as well as a dedicated app that you can download and install on all leading Android and iOS devices.
Anyone familiar with 888Casino or 888Sports will be well aware of the site’s generous welcome offers. Just for signing up, you will be rewarded with a $88 no deposit bonus. If you make a deposit, the welcome bonus is a 100% cash match bonus up to a cash limit of $888. If you are playing Poker online, then you also receive a free tournaments tickets welcome package. This comes in the form of 10 free tickets, spread over 3 different freeroll and challenge tournaments.
888Poker offers a wide selection of gaming options with Hold’em, Stud and Omaha being the main game constituents. As expected, Hold’em is where most of the action is and subsequently holds the most traffic. No limit Hold’em tables accommodate a broad stake range but most of the action is run at low stakes. There are also plenty of fixed-limit games as well as pot-limit for those who are interested.
If you are looking for Omaha, there are several Poker variants available, including pot limit, NL Omaha, FL Omaha, NL Omaha Hi/Lo and FL Omaha Hi/Lo. Stud players can enjoy Seven Card Stud as well as Stud Hi/Lo. They also have plenty of cash games and tournaments on offer, including 3 main multi-table tournaments, and sit & go’s, Fast-Fold Snap, and something called Flopmania, where the action starts on the flop.
The banking options offered here are pretty much the same as what you would find at the brand’s casino and sports betting facilities. Players in the UK and Europe will find a full selection of fast, secure and easy payment options including debit card payments, credit card payments, bank wire, prepaid cards, instant banking and web-wallet options. Popular options include Visa, MasterCard, Bank Wire, Neteller, Skrill and PayPal.
As you would expect from a Poker online site of this size and calibre, 888 is committed to providing a fully secure and fair gaming environment. When it comes to security, the desktop site and mobile app use SSL encryption technology to secure all your personal information, banking transactions and gaming information.
