   888 Poker Review

888 Poker is considered as one of the world’s most famous online poker sites. It was previously known as Pacific Poker.

888 Poker experienced great success in the early days of online poker, especially among US players, but it was one of the rooms hit hardest by the UIGEA.

The 888 site has been recently relaunched with new software, a new look. They have improved the software considerably through the years and today it is quite striking. 888 Poker is Mac and Linux friendly.

The site has grown a lot in the last few years especially in the number of tournament players. Up to 10,000 players can be found online at any one time. Currently there is a signup bonus of $8 requiring no deposit plus 100% up to $400 on an initial deposit. You can earn player points that can be converted into money, which is particularly good for higher limit players.

There is live chat, email and telephone support, with a toll-free number available in 20 countries. Most questions are answered in a quick and acceptable manner.

888 Pokers customer base may be smaller than some of the other major sites, but it makes up for volume with its softness of games. Software upgrades over the last year have greatly improved the quality of play on the site as well.

They don't accept customers from the US, but 888 is still a favourite of many cash game players outside of the States.
