Do you miss the days when there were more fish than regulars at the tables?
Are you tired of fighting strong professionals and trying to beat the rake?
Well, we have great news for you!
The list of rooms in which PokerProDeals offers its players favorable rakeback deals has recently been updates with two fish rooms.
We are talking about Italian 888.poker.it and Indian Spartan Poker. Let’s take a closer look at the features of each of them.
888.poker.it
Description
Italian fish have long been known for their low skill and not a single poker professional will miss the opportunity to increase their winrate by playing versus them. Especially when it comes to playing in a solid and reliable poker network. 888.poker it is the Italian reservation of one of the old-timers of the online poker industry – 888 poker network.
Traffic Review
Cash traffic is not as high as we would like it to be, but its main benefit is the low level of opposition. Traffic peaks in the evening in Europe. All traffic is focused at 6-max and 9-max tables. Game at limits above NL100 is not regular. There are usually about 3-5 tables at NL100. At NL50 – up to 5 tables. At NL20, NL10 – 5 tables at each limit. The most popular limits in Omaha are PLO25 and PLO50, at other limits game is kinda rare.
MTT traffic is pretty good and you can find some very interesting tournaments. Most of the tournaments take place after 6 PM Moscow time. Every day there are about 50 different tournaments. Most of the tournaments have buy-ins up to $ 22. The most expensive daily tournament is € 3.000 The Big daily with a € 109 buy-in. On Sundays 5.000 € you can play Sunday High Roller for € 250.
Sit & Go traffic is quite low. The room has its own type of spins called Blast poker. Unlike traditional spins at Poker Stars, 888poker.it uses a 4-max format. At the beginning of the tournament a timer starts, after which all players go all-in.
Software and Trackers
The client is available in Italian and English. Basically, it copies the client of the main site – 888poker.
In the cash-games lobby there are standard filters:
- Stakes (Micro, Lo, Med, Hi) – for filtering limits;
- Players (3-6, 7-10) – to filter by the size of the tables.
Table type is indicated by the corresponding graphic icon (Push or Fold, Fast, Snap, etc.) to the left of the table name.
The MTT lobby includes the following set of filters:
- Show (Running, Completed, Satellites) – to filter by status;
- Game (Holdem, Omaha) – filtering by game type.
To the left of the tournament name there is a graphic icon indicating the type of tournament (Short-Handed, Turbo, Super Turbo, Snap, Private, Progressive Knock-Out, 2nd chance, etc.).
In general, given the relatively weak level of opposition, we would not recommend to limit yourself by using game filters, since playing a little more expensively than usual can bring more profit.
888poker.it has a direct support for trackers.
Rake structure
At 888poker.it the rake is in the range from 2.5% to 5.5% (with rake caps) depending on the number of players at the table and the stakes. For example, at lower limits (NL2-NL20) the rake is 5.5% with a cap from 0.5 € to 3 €.
Spartan Poker
Description
Spartan Poker is the biggest poker room in India. It is an official company licensed in West Bengali. According to its laws, poker and some other games aren’t considered gambling.
Spartan Poker is a recognizable poker brand in India, which is a sponsor of Indian poker series (IPC).
Fast growth of the country during recent years together with loyal laws made possible the growth of online poker in India. Despite the relatively low level of living, the number of rich amateurs is big. Some people believe that this region is able to support the new poker boom right after South-Eastern Asia.

Traffic Review
Traffic peaks several hours earlier than in Europe. Total number of connections exceeds 500.
Game currency is Indian Rupee (currency exchange1USD = 67Rs).
Most tables (6-max and 9-max) are focused at micro stakes. There are about 100 available tables, but only 10 of them are at stakes from NL25 to NL100. There are also several PLO-tables at these stakes.
More expensive tables (up to NL700) have episodic play and Omaha has almost the same action as Holdem.
There is an opportunity to play Chinese poker, Holdem 6+. These formats aren’t very popular though.
There is also some action at HU-tables.
Software and Trackers
Spartan Poker client is developed by Connective Games. It is designed in black and red and has a standard set of tools for regular play. There is a system of filters for custom setup of the main lobby. Waiting lists are available. The table has several options to change the way it looks.
