Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
We started with the practical question: which room gives players fewer reasons to hesitate before a first deposit? For 888poker and Ignition Poker, we compared the current room data instead of relying on either bonus headline.
We would start with 888poker. 888poker has the higher listed trust score at 100/100 compared with 78/100. Ignition Poker lists 4,000 players while 888poker lists 0. We still see a case for Ignition Poker if its NLHE and PLO offering or 0% rakeback better matches the way you play.
