We all have the right to have access to these games for fun, now the African continent will be a great opportunity to grow and expand much more, time will tell, but they have already taken a big step.

the poker community is excellent, the game must reach all parts of the world, and I believe that the African continent will be a good option to expand the game at all levels in all countries.

Africa can be a solution if they have the money to play, but there won't be too many players risking money in 888poker. This continent has poor people who can't afford too much, but there are many and enough players for 888 to be satisfied...

you are right, there are many countries in the African continent that lack money, where that could be a factor for not growing in it, but hopefully that can change, it would benefit everyone really, the poker community should grow every year.

for now 888 is cautious and has only launched in 4 countries that will give some figures in a few months. Africans can bet because they are people who like risk. The calculation of those from 888 will see if Africans gamble a lot or not at bets.

There will always be a number of people who can make the game grow as time goes by, Africans can encourage this game to grow, I hope that poker can grow in this part of the world.

Of course, I don't have the data and specific information on what is the percentage of preference of the players of each continent in front of the gaming rooms, many will like casino games, others sports betting and others poker.

Wiat a minute man , this news sounds strange to me , Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zambia ?? Do the people in these countries have money to play on games , sportsbetting or casino ?? I had the impression/feeling they are very poor , actually maybe extremelly poor .. I do not get it , why 888 would launch 888bet in these countries ...... Anyway , 888 is a leading company in betting of all kinds , so if they have money , they will be able to enjoy all these options and games , and good luck to the new players ...

There are players who do not have any dollars in their accounts when they start, but perseverance and the spirit of getting ahead make them see the way to be able to grow their bankroll and play the games they like, plus the rooms give you many possibilities to make bankroll.

I don't know what interesting tournaments 888 has in other countries, maybe they probably offer good things for the clients from there, but in Romania i am very disappointed with what this poker room offers, even there are many Romanian players who play on this platform. It's not like a few years ago and i don't trust them anymore. It is not about a weak period of mine, but is about the fact that they are not fair...

this room is one of the best in the business, I hope it does not disappoint in other countries, it offers great benefits for its players, now they are going to operate in another continent, I hope it does well and that they continue to expand throughout the African territory.
