After an eventful 2022 celebrating 20 years of 888poker, the site is gearing up for another incredible year of poker — both on the online felt and at live poker events around the world.
While the XL Winter Series and Wizard’s Spell promotion are underway online, 888poker held its first stop of the year at the Casino Gran Via in Madrid, the first of five 888poker LIVE festivals scheduled for 2023.
“There’s no better place to kickstart 2023 than here in Madrid”
“We had such a great time celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2022, being named EGR Poker Operator of the Year, and of course the Anniversary Edition in Madrid was the perfect way to round off the year,” said 888poker Head of Business Development, Doron Ziony.
“There’s no better place to kickstart 2023 than here in Madrid — Madrid is one of the most amazing cities in the world, and I’m so glad to be starting 2023 off here by continuing our strong partnership with CNP.”
“Our live events wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of the entire team behind them, and the success of our live events belongs to them.
“I want to thank all the teams that have been involved — not just in this event, but all our past events — and I hope that this success will continue into 2023 and beyond!”
888poker have been keen to listen to player feedback, and launched a Discord to encourage greater levels of communication between players and 888poker. The live product has also been improved as a result of player feedback, with the popular Mystery Bounty format making several appearances on the 2023 schedule.

“We all love surprises!” said Ziony. “888poker took the Mystery Bounty format to the next level by modifying most of our major online events to include this great format. Players love it online, and players love the live version as well, as we saw here in Madrid.”
2023 888poker LIVE Festival Dates
So what can players expect from the rest of the 888poker LIVE schedule in 2023?
“We hope players will find a schedule that’s familiar to them from online — not just Mystery Bounty tournaments, but tournaments like the Big Shot, the Rumble or the Triple Threat. Not only do you get to play your favourite tournaments, but you can do it in some of the best poker destinations in Europe.
888poker is the Perfect Site for Beginner Poker Players
“Every time we go to an event — be it Barcelona, London, Bucharest or here in Madrid — we’re learning and we’re improving; working hard to ensure every single player has a positive experience while they’re here.
“We want our players to have fun and enjoy themselves, and we’re doing everything we can to try and make that happen at every 888poker LIVE stop.”
