COMPANY OPERATIONS

Pacific Poker is one of the more successful online poker sites and has been consistently popular since the early part of the decade. Over the past few years, 888.com has added to its repertoire of partner sites with acquisitions like their purchase of an online Bingo site from Globalcom Limited. They have successfully rebranded it into 888ladies.com- a community-based bingo site targeted directly at female players. Reef Club Casino and Casino-On-Net provide ample exposure and lend their high-profile to the 888 brand. Since all of the sites feature a one-wallet system, Pacific Poker has lots of high-stakes online casino players showing up at the hold’em tables getting ready to go all-in. This type of cross-site wagering has helped the 888 network become one of the most powerful forces in online wagering.
