Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
We do not think 888poker vs GGPoker can be settled by one percentage or a lobby screenshot. We checked the network, traffic, rakeback, cashier, software and account rules to find the differences that affect regular play.
We would start with GGPoker. 888poker has the higher listed trust score at 100/100 compared with 90/100. GGPoker lists 15,000 players while 888poker lists 0. We still see a case for 888poker if its NLHE and Omaha offering or Loyalty program rakeback better matches the way you play.
