Poker848 Background

Poker848, part of the 888 Network, is the leading provider of online poker in the Balkan territories. Available in both English and Greek, Poker848 has been created to give all players a first-class poker experience from the comfort of their own home. Using a cutting edge graphical interface, it provides its players with a platform for exciting tournaments, exclusive promotions, and competitive bonuses.

Player Traffic

The 888 Network has a reputation for being one of the easiest online poker sites in the industry. This is because, like Poker848, many have a sportsbook and casino attached to them which attracts gamblers in droves. During peak European hours, Poker848 sees around 4,200 real-money cash game players seated at its tables, and the seven-day average is closer to 2,750.

As with most online poker rooms, the majority of the traffic is focused around No-Limit Hold'em games, but there is still plenty of traffic at the Pot-Limit Omaha tables and those spreading seven card stud.

To boost your welcome package a notch, Poker848 takes not one, but two unique steps further for its first time depositors. Poker848 offers free entry to a $1,000 Depositors' Freeroll plus a free seat at seven daily $500 First Depositors’ Freerolls, and a chance to win a share of $3,500.

Rake and Limits

Poker848 offers cash games from as small as $0.01/$0.02 all the way up to $50/$100, so there will be a cash game running to suit all skill and bankroll levels.

The rake is taken at a very competitive rate, but the amount changes depending on the stakes played and how many players are dealt into the hand. For example, at the $0.01/$0.02 level, $.01 is taken per $.16 cents in the pot with a maximum rake of $1 if there are only two players in the hand. This increases to a maximum of $4 when there are three or more players in the hand.

The $0.03/$0.06 tables follow a similar set of rules except $.01 is taken per $.17 in the pot. The rake then becomes $.01 per $.20 in the pot for all other stakes.

VIP Loyalty Program

Every player on Poker848 is treated like a VIP, but they can increase their VIP status with regular play at the poker and casino tables.

The program has a total of eight monthly and two yearly tiers that reward players with cash back ranging from 2% up to 36%. Along with cash back, players will also gain access to a whole host of freeroll tournaments with prize pools ranging from the daily $75 up to the monthly $7,000 freeroll.

Players who achieve the higher VIP status not only earn rewards points at a much faster rate, but they can also receive their own personal VIP manager and are regularly invited to live corporate events to reward their loyalty.

Software and Extra Features

The Poker848 software is superb — a shining example of how online poker software should be. The lobby is easy to navigate and when seated, the action is fast, slick and players will rack up hands in no time at all.

Playing multiple tables at once is easy because the software has built in features such as auto top-up and the intelligent queuing system, plus it's not very resource intensive, so even older machines should be able to run it with easy.

The tables themselves are clean and uncluttered with an array of options and skins so you can customize your playing experience. Cards are large and easy to read, and the four-color deck makes the software a dream to play on.
