Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
We do not think 888poker vs Ya Poker 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 888poker. 888poker has the higher listed trust score at 100/100 compared with 76/100. Neither room publishes a useful traffic figure, so we recommend checking the lobby during the hours you normally play. We still see a case for Ya Poker if its NLHE and PLO offering or Elite Benefits rakeback better matches the way you play.
Scan the deciding numbers first. A check marks the stronger listed value; the scale icon marks a preference-based tradeoff.
