888 PokerCam

888 PokerCam known as webcam poker is a great addition to online poker, it can be compared to playing your friends at online poker while chatting to them on Skype. You can brag, complain and see when your opponents are getting heated, you could probably even notice the veins on their necks pulsate when they’re pulling off a big bluff. This is as close as you’ll get to playing live poker at a casino but you’re doing it from home.

888Pokercam cash games and tournaments can be found in the lobby represented with a PokerCam Icon. To play web cam poker you will need:

PC with a webcam or laptop with one built in.
Most webcams have microphones built in, if not attach a mic.
Internet connection (128KB bandwidth for streaming audio and video).

Players can still join and play on the 888 PokerCam tables without a webcam but their visuals and audio will not feature at the table.
