Summary and Verdict of the Epic Clash

There is a lot of competition that exists between Pokerstars and 888poker. Both these platforms occupy the upper echelons of the online poker segment. However, the comparison clash between these two giants will provide a lot of lessons for online poker players. Even though 888poker shines in a number of areas like brand image, welcome bonus offer, and more, it loses out to Pokerstars on a number of fronts. 888poker is more of a platform that is suitable for casual players. If the player is more concerned about satisfying the need for excitement, both are able to offer a similar experience. However, Pokerstars is easily the best platform when the player is more serious about their gaming options, stability of the software, and other parameters.

Poker Marketing Campaign award recognises success of 888poker's 'Made to Play' initiative

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 888poker, one of the world's leading online poker destinations and part of 888 Holdings plc (LSE: 888), is delighted to announce that it has secured the Poker Marketing Campaign award for its 'Made to Play' campaign at EGR's Marketing & Innovation Awards.

The annual awards, which reward the most innovative and creative operators and affiliates in the online gaming industry, is a leading benchmark of marketing excellence across the industry. Winners are chosen by a team of independent, external judges who bring in-depth iGaming expertise to the process.

The 'Made to Play' campaign was designed as a multi-market celebration of the launch of 888poker's highly anticipated Poker 8 product. Poker 8 has a state-of-the-art, intuitive user experience with cutting-edge content and capabilities, powered by 888's proprietary technology.

The multi-channel campaign spanned traditional broadcast, print and online media, as well as influencer collaborations to drive brand awareness worldwide. This was supported by a simultaneous CRM campaign that gave over $1,000,000 in prize money back to players through round-the-clock freerolls, daily spins and 'gift drops'—a unique, new marketing feature where all players at a lucky table would receive random prizes of up to $1,000 at any given moment.

The campaign was highly successful and resulted in a significant growth in the number of new and active players, as well as higher download rates of the 888poker app.

Elad Nir, VP Head of 888poker, commented:

"This win is a true industry endorsement and testament to the hard work and dedication of the 888poker team. Alongside the launch of our fantastic new Poker 8 product, this campaign has brought a fresh and modern approach to the world of online poker, from the highly entrtaining commercial and media activity to the exciting CRM campaign that placed our players in the centre. I am proud of the team, and sure we will use this recognition as a strong foundation to build on for future, upcoming campaigns."

Cash-out – what are my rights?

Many bookmakers offer “cash-out” options on matches that are traded in-play. This can get complicated, as bookmakers suspend markets when there is a match incident (such as a free kick, corner or goal), and this will cause a suspension of cash out.

In practice, this means that it will be very difficult to cash out a bet containing multiple selections. For this reason, bookmakers reserve the right to withdraw the cash-out facility at any time. If you the T&C’s for cash out weren't clear, you may be entitled to make an appeal according to the Consumer Rights Act (2015).

What power does the Gambling Commission have?

The Gambling Commission has complete power when it comes to regulating online poker websites that serve UK players. They monitor approved providers regularly to ensure the terms of their license are being met, and have the power to issue penalties and even revoke licenses if the owners of an online casino fail to meet the criteria.

The Commission also controls which online casinos can legally advertise in the UK market. Only those with current licenses are allowed to promote themselves to the public, meaning that online poker lovers should be steered solely towards sites that are operating within the requirements.

The content of a gambling advert was not appropriate

Licence holders must follow the rules put in place by the Committee for Advertising (CAP), the Broadcast Committee for Advertising Practice (BCAP) and industry code of practice for advertising.

Placed a bet but the official results were wrong!

In some cases, a result will be incorrectly credited by officials at the point of resolution. For example, goals may be attributed to the wrong player as the result of confusion, or athletes may be stripped of their victory as a result of drugs-testing. In these cases, bookmakers will typically suspend resolution of any bets for a period of a few hours (the length of time may vary according to each bookmaker’s rules).

An amendment may be published by an official source (usually the Press Association) within this time period – if this is the case, bookmakers will typically resolve any bets according to the new outcome.

If the time limit is exceeded without a clear resolution, the bookmaker will usually resolve any bets according to the first outcome. In some rare cases, the bookmaker will void any bets and issue a refund accordingly.

If there is any confusion as to the outcome of the bet, we advise you to contact your bookmaker. If you are unhappy with their efforts at resolving the matter, Resolver can help direct your complaint to an ADR.
