Online poker rooms have been trying to infuse the poker action they offer with a social element for a while now, and 888poker’s Team Tournaments are the results of one such attempt. What these poker tournaments and their ilk accomplish is the addition of another dimension to the game, one meant to capture the interest of those otherwise disillusioned or simply bored with the game.
Teams Tournaments are currently exclusive to 888poker. For those who have been yearning for a breath of fresh air poker-wise, they’re definitely worth a go.
Twice a week, players can slip into the jersey of their favorite football team, representing the organization in various poker games, and chatting to other fans. While the social facet of being able to mingle with fans of the same team is indeed appealing enough, there’s another beneficial angle to team play: those who are bounced from the tournaments get to earn a reward if their team wins in the end, regardless of their individual performance. This is indeed the real magic of team play.
Sign up to 888poker now and take part in their Team Tournaments, earning rewards every time your team goes on to win an event – even if you happen to bust out.
When exactly do these Team Tournaments run though? Every day, from 19:12 GMT, the $300 World Cup of Poker kicks off. The buy-in to this tournament is only $0.99, and in case of a win, one will pick up $300, so there’s a great deal of value there indeed.
Another daily Team Tournament is the $150 UK vs GER vs RUS event, which kicks off at 18:12 GMT and which costs $1.49 to enter.
Last but not least, we have the $100 Australia vs UK vs RUS, which starts at 12:12 GMT every day and which costs $0.99 to enter too.
Players of the top 3 teams will have 30% of the prize-pool divided among them.
The said
poker tournaments can be located in the 888poker lobby, in the “Tournaments” section, under the “Teams” tab.
Players are required to join a team when they register for the tournament. They will only join the team for the duration of the event. The tournament itself plays out as a regular one, with the exception that 30% of its prize-pool is put aside, to be handed out at the end of the event, in the above specified manner.
Sign up to 888poker now and join the Team Tournament action. Make sure your team is in the top 3 at the end of it all!
