pokerstars is much better imo , you can get much more rake back from their vip system ( 888poker club is useless , they had removed rake back from their pokerroom ) and rake & fee of pokerstars are also a bit lower than 888poker. anyway 888 is still a good place to play, i play both of them .

PokerStars definitely.
There are a lot more players, which means that you can easy find any SnG/MTT/poker table to play at in any moment of the day and you don't have to wait too much for it.
And the interface is a bonus, it looks a 100 times better than 888.

yea, no reason to use a interface from 2002 on 2016 and the connnection of the server is pretty bad , i never disconnected from pokerstars , but everyday i disconnected a lot of times from 888 and then i have to use a vpn sometimes .
i hope 888 can just save some money from promotion to make a new interface to improve user experience and get some better servers .

200nl pro who makes videos said he likes 888 better because he makes twice as much, the software should only matter so much, it should be your bottom line that ultimately matters. I wonder how many of you that play on PS are proven winners, not trying to hate, just know the site isn't easy.

PS . not like the round table on 888 it is oval is more comfortable. 888 emoticons like tomatoes and no boring to play.

It really depends on what your comparing factors are.
Field compare: 888 is softer, ofc
Software: Pokerstars by far
Support: Pokerstars by far
Promotions: I think 888 has more to attract new players and keep making rake but Pokerstars already know they are the best so they dont really have to make huge promotions to attract players
And the rest, still Pokerstars :cool:

poker stars used to be on the very top when it comes to poker sites, nevertheless they cut off supernova elite, seems to ruin their vip program as well and yet they lowered their gtds which indicates that something is wrong with their managements. In other hand 888 Poker has a great freerolls for starting from scratch players even if they don't have a vip program at all. If they could work out on their withdrawal timeframes and vip program, Poker Stars would be struggling to keep their place on the throne...

Poker Stars is definitely, at least to me, I'm kind of used to that site, 888 is kind of weird, I do not know why

For me Pokerstars. I am new to online poker tho, but It looks more professional and those challenges are good I think. The interface is really nice and easy to use :)

888 - much "fishier", bonus program - usless, a very importaint abbility to throw cakes at you ops.
PS - harder at any tipe of game,table,buyin... = less $$$
If you just whan to grind low buyins (1/2c,2/5c-1/2$ maybe higher, never tried) 888 could be better (more fishier players=more $$$)
If you want a full room were you plan on raiding 500/1000$ - go PS.
I don't know is it me but the ammount of bad beats and river A's on 888 are way to much than I can handle

I regularily play on both sites, but . . .

I prefer pokerstars. I especially like pokerstars selection of low buy in/ high pay out tournatments, and I can always get a sit and go seat within a reasonable amount of waiting time. I also like pokerstars poker school, which is informative and offers some incentives like, scratch and match tickets and so on.

Poker888 is okay, and they do offer a lot of free tournament tickets etc. (daily spins), a pretty good first deposit package, and a couple of freerolls everyday, but I do get disconnected fairly often. They also don't have near the selection of tournaments, and their tourneys tend to be low pay outs.

I'll continue to play at both.

Cheers . . .:angel:

forgot about the throwing cakes etc.

Yeah, I like that feature of 888, too. I often find myself looking for that option when I play at pokerstars.:)
