888poker App Update: the Gallery

Made to Play

One of the first things we noticed as we opened up tables to play on the 888poker mobile app was the multi-table option.

Multi-tabling is one go mobile poker's biggest limits as most mobile poker sites struggle to match the limited screen real estate of mobile devices with a proper multi-tabling experience.

The new 888poker mobile app fixes this — in part, at least.

Although you won't still able to multi-table 'Nanonoko-style' with more tables open than you can possibly count, the 2020 iteration of the 888poker lets you play up to four tables at the same time.

To browse through the tables, simply swipe right-to-left and back.

Neat, simple, and easy. Just like every poker app should be.

All the different areas of your 888poker account are all easily reachable from the app, making it simple for you to know what poker bonuses are available and what rewards and gifts you can claim — and if you consider 888poker's approach to promotions, there's always something.

You can also check your 888 Club balance and any incomplete challenges straight from the app.

New App Customization

The settings menu is now far more visible than before, and that's great — especially if you can use the settings to make the 888poker app feel more 'yours.'

In a tap or two from the main lobby, you can change nearly every aspect of your mobile playing experience.

From the settings of four-color decks, autofocus on tables awaiting your action, auto rebuy and addon, or emojis display everything is right there where you need it to be.

Emoji display is also an important aspect of the app since the 888poker app does not feature an in-game live chat.

While the chat is fun when you play at real money poker sites on a desktop, it is not when you are on your mobile.

And, let's face it, if you are one of those players who take forever to act on your turn because you are trying to type something fun on the chat, we have only two words for you: stop it.

Or download the 888poker app. Because the guys at 888 solved the problem by eliminating the live chat from their mobile client. They now allow only emoji faces to be used at the table.

Portrait Mode Makes One-Handed Play a Breeze

Is 888poker pioneering portrait mode? No. Are we happy they added portrait mode to their app? You bet.

Some of the world's top poker sites have recently made the switch to vertical poker clients, and the new 888poker mobile app now follows the same trend.

The lobby of the new 888poker mobile app showcases all the different types of tournaments you can play from your mobile — and if you are used to the equation 'mobile poker = boring games,' this will change the way you think.

Whether it's SNAP Poker, sit-and-go's, cash games, or poker tournaments, you will you're looking for at a single glance.

We found navigating through the tournament lobby quick and easy, especially when filters come into play. Learning how to use them to select the right buy-in range and game format will help you find the perfect tournament in no time.

Play BLAST Poker on Mobile

Finally, the app features also the BLAST sit-and-go games, one of 888poker's most appreciated game types.

Jackpot sit-and-go's are perhaps the most popular poker games right now. Some say because they are fast — and lots of poker players love action.

We think the opportunity to win the $1,000,000 jackpot and snatch a massive payout might have something to do with the games' popularity as well, but that's a different story.

However, BLAST mobile games are great. When we sat to play our first BLAST game, we were met with a spinning wheel that showed us just how close we were to winning a crazy $1,000,000 payout.

Close enough to be exciting but...you got it. Far enough to play for less.

888poker Adds Throwables

888poker were among the first to introduce 'throwables', and now everyone's favorite feature makes an appearance on their new 888poker online mobile app as well.

Just tap on a player to access the throwables menu. From there, you can select the following items:

  • Egg
  • Tomato
  • Trophy
  • Cake
  • Snowball

You can also choose to add notes to a player or tag them — which is always a good idea if you want to use your poker sessions to become a better player and, in perspective, win more.

Tags are pre-set by the client. Here's the list of all the player tags available via the 888poker mobile app.

Not Only Poker

Most poker players might not know this, but 888Holdings is not only the mother company of 888poker — as they control also an up-and-coming sportsbook (888sports) and one of the best online casinos in 2020: 888casino.

While most companies tend to keep some of their products relatively separated (although lots of real money slots have made their way into top poker software), 888 tried a different approach here — and is testing new waters with their new poker app.

You can now use your 888poker account and the new app to swipe between poker, casino, and sport seamlessly. The new app has the benefit of having all 888poker's products embedded within one single app.

Do you have to use all the 888 products? No.

But if you are into more than just poker, this app is the perfect choice to de-clutter the screen of your mobile phone and still access the best of the poker, casino, and sports betting worlds at the same time.

More Fun Still to Come

This massive update of the 888poker mobile app is only the first of a series of steps the company have planned to increase its market share and bring more people into their poker ecosystem.

Speaking to PokerNews, representatives at 888poker hinted at upcoming changes and additional surprises that might hit their mobile product very soon.

Home » Poker News » 888poker Reveals New Poker Software and Mobile App

The long-awaited and much-anticipated update to 888poker arrived at the end of October. Little more than a week ago, the online poker operator revealed its “Made to Play” platform to players around the world.

With everything from multi-tabling and portrait for the mobile app to a new lobby and stake range features, many players seem pleased with the updates and new options.

Meanwhile, 888 Holdings reported substantial online poker growth worldwide for the first half of 2020. It could prove to be a good year for 888poker.

Created with Player Input

888poker officially announced its “Made to Play” upgrade on October 29. The rollout began to pull all players to the new software platform that 888poker described as “cutting-edge,” “state-of-the-art,” and “intuitive and entertaining.”

Originally, 888poker planned to significantly upgrade its poker client in 2018, the first time doing so since before Black Friday. The operator did slowly roll out its “Poker 8” platform. It didn’t actually happen until 2019, but it did deliver some new graphics, design, functionality, avatars, table designs, and multi-tabling capabilities. It also boasted of new reentry management functions and hand history records.

There were some player complaints after 888poker rolled out Poker 8, though. Most substantially, the upgrade erased player notes. In some cases, notes on other players dated back several years and disappeared with the software update.

According to 888poker, management had been accumulating feedback from players for two years prior to this October release of the latest software upgrade.

The new features in Made to Play include rewards for players. 888poker noted that there will be “Gift Drops” to deliver prizes randomly to players at the tables and the “Winner Spinner,” a wheel that players can spin twice every day to win prizes.

888 Head of B2C Guy Cohen commented that the new software “emphasizes that our player’s enjoyment is our number one priority.” He added, “Poker is a pastime, a passion and a community for our players; we have built a platform that puts them at the heart.”

Most Changes for Mobile

The pressers from 888poker focused mostly on the mobile app, considering more than 60% of the site’s players access the site in this manner.

The Made to Play app offers a lobby now available in portrait mode, making it easier for players to play one-handed on their mobile devices. Players will be able to swipe between tables “effortlessly” and play up to four tables at once.

Further, the portrait mode now lines up with 888casino and 888sports products, so switching to games other than poker should be seamless.

Pokerfuse offered more information regarding mobile changes for 888poker. The lobby is reformatted for easy scrolling and showing all of the games available. Players can also establish filter settings, such as preferred variations and a pre-defined stake range, to focus on their poker preferences.

Multi-tabling players can more easily switch between up to four tables and preview their hole cards while receiving an alert when they need to take action. Mobile users can also enable “throwables” as well.

Chat boxes have become controversial – even toxic – in some gaming environments, so the new 888poker mobile app now only offers an emoji chat with no text.

The new mobile app is now available in every market that allows players to access 888poker.

Not Everyone is Happy

Of course, it is impossible to make all poker players happy. There have been some notable complaints, though, that seem to have gathered steam.

First, players now have portrait mode on their mobile devices, including tablets, but they are discovering that landscape is now gone.

Second and more concerning is the deletion of the ability to play with friends, to set up private virtual games. Some players have been competing in play-with-friends games for months – years in some cases – and were extremely disappointed for 888poker to confirm that the feature is gone.

Booo! Sorry to say it’s not in this version. I’ve been told it’ll come back but just not yet. Sorry about that!

888 Hoping for Continued Growth

As with most other online poker sites around the world, 888poker also saw an upswing in player traffic from March forward. The coronavirus pandemic shut down most live gambling options around the world, so players took their business online.

When 888 Holdings released its financials for the first half of 2020, it showed overall revenue growth of 37% year-on-year, with B2C up 38% and B2B up 21%.

Of all the verticals in the B2C category, poker has been one of the lowest revenue producers in recent years, but H1 2020 showed online poker up 56% year-on-year to $36.1 million. It even beat the online casino sector and its 48% increase, though its revenue of $260 million still thumped poker.

First-time depositors also increased in the first half of the year by 103%, again outdoing the casino sector and its 72% jump. And of 888’s total B2C first-time depositors in H1, 24% came from the poker vertical.

That H1 regulatory report from 888 noted that the new poker product should boost consumer satisfaction in the second half of 2020. The company is also dedicating more attention to responsible gambling programs. It will soon roll out a new “Control Centre” in 2020 “that will offer customers an improved interface to help them understand better their gambling behavior,” Itai Pazner said.

So 50% growth is basically what we've seen elsewhere; at least 2 months of Q2 should have been around double YoY if 888 benefited as much as competitors during the coronavirus lockdowns.

However, it you peruse the presser and presentation, that is certainly not the focus.
