Of those two choices pokerstars is by far the better option. The rake is lower, the rake back is higher, the promos are better, the software looks nicer, and in general is better in almost every conceivable way.

I mostly play on PokerStars but I can't say a real reason why I also play 888 from time to time and actually there isn't much to say against it, but I simply have a better feeling on PokerStars.

for me, PS is already better because the withdrawal of funds is instant, and not from 8 days, which smoothly develop into half a month

both are nice, but if you are starting your poker journey - 888 will be better choice, due to average field size) will be easier to earn some money)

I played for the very first time online poker at Pokerstars. In time i tryed also 888 and unibet.

I don t know why i can t fimiliarize myself with other interfaces instead of Pokerstars, it s not about any bonus system or how fast whidrawals are made, it s just about how the application looks.

Maybe is because you can t forgot your first love:))

Pokerstars and better promos (than 888) :unsure:
Is this a joke?

888 gives under 5% rake back and charges the highest rake out of any site lol. It is not a good site to play on in general.

I have accounts on both of these sites. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, but in general I prefer playing on the 888. The reason is quite simple, I have always had better results on the 888.

My choice is Pokerstars, because their software does not twitch your eyes, and there is a normal rakeback. Withdrawal of funds to skrill within 15 minutes.

I think 888poker is best for a beginner. Pokerstars is good for a mature person

Pokerstars because they are the only site that offers a wide variety of mixed games.

definitely pokerstars, of course, I love him so much but at the same time I hate it so much so the situation is twofold

I like 888 for the great freerolls, the App works great and they actually pay when you win! Plus lots of CC freerolls.. What's not to like :)

I think it depends of what stakes do you play. If you play micro/small stakes I prefer 888poker because their promotions compensate the rake difference between 888 and PS. If you play medium stakes or higher I would choose PS. But I like and play in both rooms.

I like PokerStars, although I haven't played on other platforms, everything suits me as long as I don't see the point of sitting around, there is not much time.

I played more on 888 a few years ago but lately I don't like to play there anymore. The graphics and gameplay are good but I prefer pokerstars because I earn more money there and because the support is much better. At least for me when I have a question I send PW on their social networks they respond promptly and quickly. Also because of the promotions the 888 never has a nice promotion. Pokerstars already won several tickets in promotions, tournament money and such. 888 doesn't seem to care about micro limit players or new players. I'm not a new player but I'm a micro limits player. Pokerstars encourages new or micro limit players. No doubt this is one of the reasons that traffic is higher. For me, even the ACR is better than the 888

I can tell you that 888's cashout policy is far different from Pokerstars as well. I have deposit method for withdrawals activated in both the same methods. In both deposits they are instantaneous. At Pokerstars the withdrawals are also instantaneous but at 888 they are 3 or 4 days and that doesn't make me happy. I know that if I win I'll want to cash out and it will take time so today I'd rather just play some free tournaments on 888.
A short time ago I requested a withdrawal on 888 and it was taking 4 days for the same deposit wallet. I went to question this in the 888 live chat and they just said that if I play there I have to accept their withdrawal policy. Anyway, I didn't feel comfortable with it.

I started my poker game at PokerStars. Now I have tried to play in many poker rooms, but pokerstars remains the best for me. I don't win a lot of money, I just like pokerstars software, it's more convenient and understandable for me. And yet, as someone already wrote the withdrawal of funds to 888, this is a very long time. I don't think 888 can't technically speed up this process, it's most likely done on purpose to keep the money in their system. During this time, you can change your decision to withdraw funds and start playing again.
