It’s been two years since the last major 888poker software update which saw a facelift in the look and feel. The award-winning software was a 3D experience with popping avatars and throw animations, improved sliders, tables and tiling, timebank features and the works. However, this new 888poker software titled “Made to Play” is even more player-focused, after collecting months of feedback from users.

  • Being probably the biggest and the most popular online poker room after PokerStars, 888 Poker offers a rather impressive schedule of freerolls as well. The fields you’ll encounter at 888 Poker freerolls are, on average, much smaller and significantly softer than on PokerStars, although freeroll events are soft in general.
  • 888 Poker LIVE Sochi. In August 2019, 888poker held 888 Poker LIVE Sochi. It was first event 888poker in Russia. Russian poker player Vasily Tsapko became the winner of 888poker LIVE Main Event and had nearly $200k in cashes.
  • Free poker tourneys are yet another exciting type of poker tournament. The best part is they are 100% free to enter and players can win real cash in the process. Players can easily get started – no money down – and build a bankroll in double-quick time. Free poker tourneys also award tournament tickets and other prizes to top-place finishers.

The 888 Poker Bonus The Vegas Approach. In a lot of ways 888 Poker and, of course, the 888 Casino parent company overlord, reminds me of a flashy Vegas strip casino. 888 Poker aims to draw players in with an atmosphere that feels fun and casual while overwhelming them with offers to try to make each one feel like a lavished guest.

Head of B2C at 888, Guy Cohen, says: “Made To Play, emphasizes that our player’s enjoyment is our number one priority. Poker is a pastime, a passion and a community for our players; we have built a platform that puts them at the heart.”

The biggest changes were notably on the mobile app, but here’s a rundown of our latest 888poker experience.

888poker Software Update: Optimized for Mobile Play

Over 60% of poker players are joining the 888poker tables from their phones. So, it’s no surprise that 888 have made mobile gaming the core focus of this new Poker8 update and design. One of the best things we noticed was the fact that you can tilt any table portrait as opposed to just landscape.

This is great because it means you can keep playing one-handed while you’re multitasking or on the move. Both at the tables or even just scrolling for a game in the lobbies. And it also extends to other 888 products like casino slots and sports bets, which you can also toggle to from within the mobile app itself. One-handed play is definitely the new thing across the world’s top poker sites.

We also found that the app better adapted to different screen sizes. So if your phone dies and you want to hop on your iPad to continue playing, you’ll get a uniform experience. Plus, exclusive 888poker games like SNAP Fast-fold poker and BLAST Jackpot Sit & Gos become even easier to play from your phone.

Another huge plus is the leaps the new 888poker software made with regards to multi-tabling. In that now you can comfortably swipe between tables - up to four at a time. This is an issue that many mobile poker sites have to deal with and 888 handled it nicely.

You can reach every area of your 888poker account quickly and easily with a cleaner layout. Especially loyalty rewards or whichever promo is going on at the moment. You get notified about anything like this via a red dot on top of the option. The same way you receive notifications about actions happening on your inactive tables while multi-tabling. So you’re not going to be missing your turn during play or a limited time offer anytime soon.

New 888poker Software Features (November 2020)

There’s been a lot of focus on entertainment and bringing the “fun” factor all across the internet poker industry. As mentioned, 888 was attuned to user feedback, especially over the last few months of testing. And we’re happy to see that this translated into the new 888poker software features we’ve been seeing.

  • Gift Drops – players can win big prizes anytime – right at the table while playing!
  • Winner Spinner – players get 2 free spins per day with a prize each and every time
  • Multi-table swiping - you can now effortlessly swipe between games - up to four tables simultaneously actually on mobile.
  • Emojis Replace Chat - You can chat with opponents using these faces (including exclusive ones you can purchase.)
  • Taunt with Throwables - The 888 mobile app has finally caught on and you can now throw eggs and snowballs and other stuff at opponents to tease or vent aggression or tilt.
  • Tags for Note-taking - You can build a better opponent profile by note-taking, helped by new player tags like fish, shark, donkey, sheep, chicken, whale, and lion.
  • Red Dot Notifications - Players can now autofocus on tables that are in urgent need of attention, for example while multi-tabling or checking the lobby / your account.

We have to admit, we like the fact that there’s no more chat, because we all know how it can slow down the game. Especially when someone wants to write down the perfect comeback or needle for someone at the table. Also, chat is something that we like better on desktop apps rather than mobile, where it’s less readable and uncomfortable.

888poker Made To Play Promo

As part of the new 888poker software launch on mobile app, 888 are going big with their Made to Play campaign. Offering over $1 MILLION in prizes and round-the-clock freerolls. The special 888 tournaments will have a total of $30,000 in weekly prize money and guarantees. The best part is that there will also be Gift Drops of up to $1,000 every five minutes, as well as Happy Hours. All in all, plenty of opportunities to enjoy this new software for free, and earn something extra to build your bankroll.
