888 Poker offers games of all types, but most of the action is concentrated in the Texas Holdem cash games and tournaments. Other poker variants such as Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo and 7 Card Stud are offered, but there isn't a whole lot of action at those other games. If you don't mind playing Texas Holdem, though, you'll find a lot of soft action at 888.

Both tournaments and cash games get a steady stream of players so you won't have any trouble finding games any time of day. With about 10,000 players logged on at peak hours, 888 Poker is a medium-sized poker site. There are both bigger and smaller rooms out there, but few with competition as soft as what you'll get here.

888 Poker has a nice selection of Texas Holdem and Omaha tournaments. Most of the action is limited to Texas Holdem but within that subsection, you'll find tournaments of all shapes and sizes. The buyins range in size from completely free to $100 and more. The soft competition here makes it a profitable poker site for low to mid stakes grinders.

The sit-n-go scene at 888 Poker is also nice and healthy, with tournaments at a wide range of buyins. There are always lucrative promotions running that involve SNGs and lots of cash. For example, one recent promotion gave away free seats to a $10,000 tournament to everyone who played 10 or more SNGs during the previous week.

The first time deposit bonus at 888 Poker is a fairly standard welcome bonus. All players who sign up will receive a 100% bonus that's worth up to $400. That means that if you sign up and deposit $200, 888 Poker will match it with an extra $200.

After you get your bonus, the money is released in $10 increments. Every time you earn 100 Bonus Points at the tables, $10 of your bonus money is dropped into your player account. Bonus Points are earned by simply playing in real money ring games and real money tournaments at 888 Poker.

In addition to the first time deposit bonus, 888 Poker is always running a long list of promotions for both new and existing players. Some of the things 888 Poker likes to do include giving away seats to major live events, new depositor freerolls and other things of that nature.

A loyalty program is also used to reward people who stay with 888 Poker for a while. As you play poker at 888, you automatically earn Bonus Points. These points are used to move you up in the VIP player ladder and can be spent at the rewards store and used to enter special promotions. The rewards store is very nice and includes everything from e-books to 40 inch 3D televisions to fully paid holidays.

Customer support at 888 Poker is fast and helpful. They can be contacted via phone, e-mail and live chat. The 888 support team offers several toll free phone numbers that players can use to call for free regardless of where they live. There is also a comprehensive FAQ section at the 888 website that can be used to answer most questions.
