What we like

  • Softest fields among the major licensed rooms
  • Free tournament tickets on sign-up in most markets
  • Licensed in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Romania, the UK and Ontario

What we don't

  • Smaller tournament guarantees than GGPoker or PokerStars
  • Segregated pools in Denmark and Portugal are thin at higher stakes
  • Dated desktop client

Games and traffic

888poker’s edge is its player base: the room recruits through 888’s casino and sports products, which keeps the fields recreational. Traffic is strongest in the UK and the Spain-Portugal pool. Guarantees are modest, and the BLAST and SNAP formats target casual play.

Verdict

A good second room for winning players who value soft games over big series, and the best starting point for new players thanks to the no-deposit ticket in markets where bonuses are allowed.
