Games and Tournaments

Texas Hold’em is the dominant game on 888Poker but there’s a range of other options if you have a different preference or want to try a new variant, including Omaha, BLAST and Snap.

Whether you enjoy cash games or tournaments, you’ll find a table that’s right for you. Cash games run 24 hours a day so you’ll never have to wait to get involved.

Your tournament options include Sit & Gos, multi-table events, heads-up contests and satellites where you can buy-in at a low price and win seats at more lucrative tables.

Free Poker

888Poker prides itself on having something for everyone, from old hands to complete novices. If you’re new to the game, or perhaps just rusty after a break, you can play in practice mode at the start.

This is a great way to get familiar with the rules, devise your strategies and still enjoy the competitive thrill of Hold’Em or Omaha. You play for virtual money rather than real money so you can see how your level of performance stacks up with others before you play a cash game or buy-in to a tournament.

The special offers and promotions are not just for beginners at 888Poker. There’s also a Refer a Friend scheme that can net you another $15 bonus, plus an 888Poker club which will reward you with tokens as you climb up through the levels. You’ll then be able to cash in your tokens for exclusive prizes.
