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 run thin above small stakes
- Dated desktop client
Games and traffic
The player base is the reason to open this client. 888 recruits poker players out of its casino and sportsbook, and you can tell at the table. Traffic is strongest in the UK and in the Spain-Portugal pool; in Denmark and Portugal it thins out quickly once you move above the small stakes. Guarantees are modest next to GGPoker and PokerStars, and BLAST and SNAP are built for casual play rather than volume.
The desktop client looks its age, which matters less here than who is sitting at the table.
Verdict
For most winning players this is a second room, opened when the main one is quiet and the games here look better. For a new player it is the easiest place to start: in markets where bonuses are allowed, the welcome ticket costs nothing.
