888poker has now launched its online poker home game feature, Play with Friends, for mobile users across Android and Apple devices.
Easy to download, the 888poker app can put a home game in your pocket and can be downloaded easily from the iTunes App store or from Google Play.
Play with Friends allows you to play on the 888poker platform at a table with just your friends. 888poker has added the ability to play home games via the mobile app as a result of player requests.
Here 888poker Ambassador Kara Scott tells us more.
How To Join A Home Game on the 888poker Mobile App
Once you have received an invitation to join a home game on 888 via email or over social media, taking your seat in the game is easy. Just follow the directions below:
- Open the 888poker App
- Select “Play with Friends” from the dropdown menu
- Enter the Game Name and Game Password that you received in the invitation in the popup screen that appears in the app
