Join 888 Poker Owner’s Club & Win Your Own Racehorse

Last Updated on


Right now you have a chance to join the elite Owner’s Club at 888 Poker, and win a potentially lucrative share in your very own racehorse, and for as little as fifty-five cents.

The 888 Poker Owner’s Club is a joint venture with Circuit Racing to give away 20 shares worth £3,000 each in a racehorse trained by none other than Ralph Beckett, a legend in horse racing.

For as little as $0.55 you can land a seat in the 888.com Racing Syndicate Qualifier tournament, taking place every two weeks, and giving away 1 £3,000 share in this premium racehorse at each tournament.

If you’re one of the 20 lucky winners, you’ll also recieve membership in the exclusive Owner’s Club, which includes invites to various owner related gatherings, not least of which is the ceremony at which the horse will be named, taking place at the Westbury, a 5-star hotel. You’ll also get stable visits to Kimpton Down, Ralph Beckett’s own training facility in the countryside of the Berkshire Mountains. And you’ll get access to the owner’s area at horse races and owner’s badges anytime your horse is running, with the opportunity to buy additional owner’s badges at a discounted rate. And best of all, you win 5% of any prize money that your horse wins.

The 888.com Racing Syndicate Qualifier takes place every other Thursday at 19:55 GMT. It costs $200 + $20 to buy-in to each event, though you can win a seat instead by winning one or more Step Feeder tournaments.

The Step 1 Feeder takes place daily and has $0.55 buy-in. The Step 2 Feeder takes place daily as well and has a $8.80 buy-in. Finally, the Step 3 Feeder takes place Saturdays, Mondays and Thursdays for a $48 buy-in.

888 Poker Goes Social

Last Updated on

In this evolving age of social media, 888 Poker is keeping up by going social itself. Social 888 Poker includes new offerings like Team Poker and PokerCam tables and up to $100,000 in prize money.

Teams Poker takes the live poker tournament experience to the social level by allowing players to form teams with whom to share in their winnings. If you win, your team wins – and vice-versa. Buy-ins for Teams Poker tournaments are as little as 88 cents, with which you can win a share of $1,000 or up to $2,500.

888 Poker is adding new Teams Poker tournaments to the schedule all the time, especially as new teams emerge. Teams Poker Tournaments pit all the members of two teams against one another with the winning player getting half the prize pool and their team splitting the other half. Each team must have at least 100 players, but no more than 1,000.

Cash game players can also go social on 888 Poker by playing Face2Face, as they say, at the site’s new PokerCam Tables. These tables are indicated in the 888Poker lobby by an icon that looks like a webcam. At PokerCam tables you can see your opponents live, just like they were in the same room with you. See their tells, know when they’re bluffing, put them on tilt. Just know they can see you too, so you’d better practice your poker face when you sit down at 888 Poker Face2Face.

888 Poker is even on Facebook and Twitter. And they publish their own 888Poker Wall on the site where members can update their status profiles and video testimonials.
