Mobile Poker Review for 888.com
Most online poker and gambling analysts believe that mobile betting is behind the growth of online sites like 888 Poker. Gambling turns out to be an activity that is well-suited to mobile and tablet devices, but not every site takes the same approach to offering their product on such platforms. If you're interested in getting a full overview of the mobile poker options on offer at 888, read on for a guide to playing mobile or tablet games at 888 Poker.
Games available through 888 Poker mobile
What games can you play at 888 Poker using your mobile phone or tablet? The dedicated apps for 888 Poker support two primary games types: cash games and sit and go (SNG) tournaments.
There are some restrictions, which is to say that not all cash games available in the 888 Poker desktop lobby are available through the mobile version of 888 Poker. A few of the key restrictions include:
- 888 Poker mobile only offers hold'em games.
- No heads-up games are available via the mobile client at 888 Poker.
- No MTT (multi-table tournaments) on 888 Poker mobile.
- Limited array of stakes available in 888 Poker mobile client.
Playing 888 Poker on Android
The Android app for 888 Poker supports both mobile phone and tablet play. To install the 888 Poker Android app, just follow these steps:
- Create an 888 Poker account with this link.
- Enable non-market apps on your Android device (Settings >> Apps >> Unknown Sources).
- Visit 888 on your Android device to download the app.
Following that, you just need to log in and you'll be able to access a selection of SNGs and cash games. Note that not all stakes are available on the Android app, and MTT play is not - as of now - supported by the Android app for 888 Poker.
Playing mobile 888 Poker on iPhone / iPad
Unlike the Android app for 888 Poker, there is an official 888 Poker app available in the iTunes App Store. To install 888 Poker on your iPhone or iPad, simply open the App Store on your device and search for "888" to locate the app.
The 888 Poker app for the iPad or iPhone is free. Like the Android app, only SNG and cash game play are supported via the app. And you'll only find a certain amount of stakes available in the 888 Poker mobile version, with cash games capping out around the $3/$6 level. And you'll only be able to play hold'em games - no omaha or stud games are available on the Apple or Android mobile versions of the 888 Poker room.
Other mobile devices and 888 Poker
Right now, 888 Poker only offers dedicated apps for Apple and Android products. We do not foresee Blackberry users getting a dedicated app anytime soon, as there simply isn't sufficient demand to support such an app. Windows users may be a bit luckier depending on how the app ecosystem for that platform grows over the next few years, but for now users of both device families will either have to find a workaround or switch devices if they want to play mobile poker at 888.
