Exploring the 888Poker Software

The 888Poker software has many interesting features. Among these is the possibility to make the software available in several languages, including French. This will be the first thing we will do after we run the software. Look at the red arrow below and you will see where you can adjust the language of the software

In the upper right corner near the Cashier button you see your personal information with your account balance. You can also see his player level. Your player level allows you to accumulate points and exchange these points for gifts. This is their reward program or "rakeback" if you prefer. Basically, the more you play, the more commission you pay, the more points you make, the higher your player level, the more gifts you'll get

We'll now go through the various tabs in the software, namely Beginners, Tables, My Favorites, SNAP and BLAST.

Beginners

A good place to start. You have a varied gambling offer with small limits. Without breaking your head too much, you can quickly sign up for a tournament or take a seat at a SNAP cash game table (we'll come back to that later) or a Blast tournament (see description below). In 1 mouse click, you'll be in the action

Quick Siege

Another way to get to the tables quickly. This is probably the most useful tab for finding the cash game table of your choice. You select your type of game (no limit, no limit (CAP) or fixed limit), the number of players (six or nine) and the limit you want to play at. You will see the range of game limits. You will be able to play at tables with blinds as low as 1 penny and 2 cents and tables as high as $10 and $20 blinds

There's something for every level and bankroll. You can also find sit'n'gos easily in this tab. At the bottom, you'll find upcoming tournaments. Again, you'll notice that there's something for every wallet. Speaking of tournaments, you should know that it is possible to make deals on the final table of a tournament. Once all the remaining players have clicked that they would like to make a tournament deal, they will be given a cash suggestion based on their chip count. If all players accept the deal, the tournament will then be over and each player will be credited the amount due to him/her

You may also discuss the deal with other players using the Chat Room

Tables

A more complete way to view the cash game offer. We can also see that other variants are now accessible via this tab (Omaha and Stud in particular). This is the classic and detailed presentation

Tables

In the left-hand column, in the "Type" tab, you see symbols that tell you what type of table it is. Here is a quick explanation of the types of tables you will find

SNAP

Fast fold poker format. When you join a group of players, every time you fold your hand, you will automatically be placed at a table with new players who have just folded their hand. This type of table will give you much more action than regular tables

Short-Handed

A table with only six seats.

Fast.

You'll have to play faster since you'll have less time in the bank to make each decision.

The winning cards will be revealed to all players after each hand.

All in / Fold

On these tables, you'll have five blinds and you'll only have two options; all in or fold. Lots of action without breaking your head too much

Heads-up.

Tables with only two seats.

Heads-up.

Players are limited to a maximum bet for each hand.

A tab where you can save your favorite games for later.

Snap.

It includes snap tournaments and snap cash games. As mentioned earlier, the snap format is a fast fold type of poker. When you join a group of players, every time you fold your hand, you will automatically be placed at a table with new players who have just folded their hand

There are Snap Tournaments, Snap Hold'em games and Snap Omaha games. There are low limit tables (1 penny/ 2 pennies) as well as high limit tables ($5/ $10 blinds)

A Blast Tournament is a super turbo sit & go where 3 players compete to win a randomly selected prize pool of up to 10,000 times the buy-in. Note that in this type of sit & go, there is often only one paid seat

What are the benefits of playing at 888Poker?

There are many good reasons to play at 888Poker and many advantages. So we'd like to take some time to detail these advantages

At 888Poker, when you make your first deposit, using the code WELCOME100, you will receive a 100% deposit bonus of up to $400. In other words, if you deposit a minimum of $10 up to $400, 888Poker will double your deposit. The bonus will be released in increments as you play.

When you play online poker, you want to have quality software, stable software that won't crash in the middle of a tournament, and easy to use software with lots of options. 888Poker's software is one of them. It is stable, intuitive and offers a very wide variety of game play. Since it also offers casino games that attract a lot of recreational players, the level of players is reputedly low, which of course increases your chances of having great winning sessions at the tables. The software is also available in several languages, including French

Ability to play on tablet and smarphone

You can play on your desktop computer, but you can also play on a tablet or smartphone for added flexibility.

You can find the free app in the AppStore or GooglePlay Store (Android).

An interesting option for example if you want to complete a tournament and have to leave home immediately. This way you can take over on your phone when you leave your home office. We have tested the applications for IOS and Android and they are very fluid. The gaming experience is just as good from one platform to the other

Secure Platform. Easy deposits and withdrawals

888Poker is not new and the platform is very reputable and secure. You will be able to deposit funds in multiple ways and withdraw funds very easily and quickly without any fees. You will never have to worry about the security of your funds. 10 million players have already registered with 888Poker

You will be able to play 24/7 cash games, low and high limits, tournaments, Snap poker, Blast tournaments, Hold'em, Stud, Omaha. You will also find satellite tournaments for major casino tournaments, for example satellite tournaments for the World Series of Poker. To take your mind off things between 2 poker tournaments, you can even play a game of Blackjack if you feel like it

Ability to play in Demo Mode

You want to try the cardroom, but you're not ready to make a deposit? No problem; you can use the software in demo mode and play for virtual money. Then you can get familiar with the software without risking a penny

PokerCam

This is an option you won't often see in an online cardroom. The PokerCam feature allows players to see their opponents at the tables. Simply activate your webcam and join a PokerCam table at 888poker Lobby (video). You'll see each of your opponents live via webcam and they'll be able to see you! This adds to the fun of playing online

888Poker, a versatile software package

By versatile, we mean that it can be installed on multiple devices: laptop, desktop computer, on Windows, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Samsung phone or any other smartphone running on Android

HUD Compatibility

888Poker's software will allow you to easily use a Heads-Up Display (HUD) such as PokerTracker 4 or Xeester. These software programs allow you to record all of your hands played and display your opponents' stats at the table in real time. These are very useful software programs to help you make your decisions at the poker table. Some poker rooms don't accept them, but 888Poker does
