Our Rating Of 888 Poker

888 Poker is one of the longest established poker sites accepting South African players, having begun life all the way back in 2002. It is the second biggest site for South African online poker players, and has bucked the trend to grow in size over the last few years thanks to some serious improvements to its software.

All new SA poker players can enjoy welcome bonuses on PC or Mac friendly software or native mobile poker apps. There are plenty of fishy players and a wide range of poker variants on offer, including Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha and Seven Card Stud. 888Poker has also improved its loyalty scheme over the last few years, with players now able to trade frequent player points for an increasing range of merchandise.

888 Poker no longer is accepting South African players.

Player Traffic

If you’ve watched TV or surfed the web recently, chances are you’ve seen 888 Poker adverts pop up all over the place. 888 Poker has stepped things up a lot over recent years, rising from the middle of the pack to now rank second worldwide for online poker traffic. It regularly attracts up to 8,000 tournament players at peak times, as well as thousands more at its cash game tables.

Part of this comes down to 888 Poker's all-round availability. South African online poker players can enjoy the site via PC, Mac, mobile and tablet, though the mobile and tablet version does not offer the full range of available games at present. What's more, as a poker site with European roots, its biggest tournaments often take place at times when SA poker players can play without too much trouble.

Benefits of playing at 888 Poker

While you cannot play using South African Rand, as is the case with many poker sites accepting South Africa players, there is plenty to benefit the SA poker community. Players can contact customer support via phone, email, live chat and even Twitter (via @888support) at a time convenient to them.

Cashout options are impressive, with the poker site offering various secure options. Payouts are processed as quickly as any other South Africa poker site, and in many cases funds arrive faster than what had been promised. That’s a big deal for South Africa Internet Hold’em players who hate waiting around for their money.
