The softer end of the New Jersey market, and the easier room to start in if you are new to online play.
888poker NJ runs on 888's own platform under a Caesars licence, and shares its New Jersey player pool with WSOP.com NJ - the two are one network wearing two names.
Its reputation is for a softer field than the grinder-heavy rooms, which is the usual reason a beginner is pointed here first. The no-download web client reinforces that: you can be seated in a freeroll in a couple of minutes.
The trade-off is depth. Outside evening hours the cash tables get thin, and a player looking for a specific stake at an odd time will find WSOP.com or the BetMGM network more reliable.
What works
- - Web client runs without a download, which is the lowest-friction way in
- - Frequent low buy-in tournaments and freerolls
- - Shares a player pool with WSOP.com NJ
What does not
- - Cash game selection thins out badly outside peak hours
- - No welcome offer listed on this site yet - check the operator directly before depositing
