About 888

Pacific has recently emerged as one of the poker industry leaders when it comes to software. Aside from being extremely light and easy to run, it's also extremely clean cut and functional. Unlike other Euro networks, Pacific allows users to choose from numerous themes and upload their own avatars. Pacific players even enjoy the use of a time bank—something you'll struggle to find at other Euro networks.

Pacific has taken a lot of steps to ensure that it is one of the softest networks around. They’ve recently severed ties with smaller skins who don’t bring in recreational players and getting licences like WSOP on board will hopefully ensure it stays this way. The network is also home to the world famous 888 brand, and recently installed WebCam tables, coupled with a strong marketing campaign, has made the network the first choice for many casual players.

The traffic is respectable and goes above 10,000 players during peak hours. Pacific is capable of big things and is one of the few poker networks to show significant growth in 2011. Watch this space!

We always advise PokerVIP players to stick to brand names that can be trusted. The Pacific network strongly opposes flat rakeback and if you come across one of these deals, they do not justify putting your bankroll at risk. Although the network is home to some great brands, they have given licences to less well known companies who have proven themselves to be untrustworthy in the past, so stick with iPokerVIP promoted rooms!
