888poker doubles Major Tournament Guaranteed Prizepools

Over the past year 888poker, formerly Pacific Poker, has built new state-of-the art software, launched exclusive PokerCam table technology, released an innovative TV campaign featuring Shane Warne and completely revamped their promotions and offers, including free $8 registration bonus for new customers.

888poker’s continued commitment to the new “we play different” strategy and focus on customer safety and experience is gaining momentum with online poker players and has brought the site a rapid 45% increase in liquidity.

More long term plans also show to be paying off for the poker network. As the USA market continues to show signs of legalization and licensing for online gaming, 888 has made several strategic moves and partnerships to ensure the best position for entry into the major market. The company’s decision to leave the USA market immediately after the passing of the 2006 UIGEA and its continued focus on safe and legal operations, has opened several doors for 888. One very positive move has been the recent approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission to work with USA operator, Caesars Interactive, the online subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Corporation. As other major sites begin to struggle with the changing landscape in online gaming, 888 remains in a  prime position.

To keep up with the growth, 888poker has doubled  their major guaranteed tournaments including the Sunday Challenge which is now a staggering $100,000 guarantee. Players can take advantage of these huge guarantee tournaments and other promotions such as, new Team Poker Tournaments (win money as part of a team and as an individual) and  Play More Win More (the more you play, the more big $$ guaranteed freeroll tickets you receive).

Players can also try a more social online poker experience when they play the new PokerCam tables.  PokerCam tables use webcam technology to bring you a face to face interaction with other players. You can catch bad bluffs, meet new friends and maybe find a new crush all while playing poker.
