Pacific Poker Gets Seal of Approval

Online poker room Pacific Poker, through their parent company 888.com, has recently gotten a seal of approval via a gaming certification from GamCare. This is good news for the site, GamCare is an authority on problem gambling in the UK, so for them to pack an online poker room they must be doing something right!

Pacific Poker has an "instantly playable" bonus of 25% up to $100 – so sign up now to collect!

Part of the reason that GamCare has doled out their certification to 888 is because that company has launched a website dedicated to teaching players how to gamble responsibly. While poker is not in the same league as many casino games when it comes to risking a lot of cash with little chance of reward (depending on what games you play) there is still the chance of misuse, and thus the concern.

The site put out by 888 has information about responsible gambling and address such issues as problem gambling, under-age gambling and even gambling for charity. Have some teenagers who want to get into the poker scene and not sure what to do about it? The new site has information on that as well.

Head guy at GamCare Andrew Poole offered up a few words about why 888 got the certificate, saying that they showed "excellent standards of practice." The fact that Pacific Poker and the 888 group are so large and well known makes the impact of a "safety when gambling" website all the greater, another good reason why they got the pat on the back.
