888 Poker is a genius at running poker promotions and getting new players to join. Their significant growth last year (during a rough global economy) is proof of that. This latest promotion just goes to show that 888 Poker is still going strong.

If you create a private poker tournament at 888 Poker and can get at least six of your friends to play, 888 Poker will double the prize pool for free. That’s right; all you have to do is get six people to show up and you’ll get double the prize pool at no extra cost. So if you get 20 people to show up and end up with a $500 prize pool, 888 Poker will throw an extra $500 in just for fun.

888 Poker has been working hard to make itself the most social poker site, and this promotion shows exactly how they do that. The addition of webcam poker (which you can use in private tournaments) and a variety of social promotions such as this one have helped 888 Poker grow quickly in recent times.

This promotion works great for both social and serious poker players alike. If you’re trying to get your friends to join you, this is the perfect excuse to get them to join you. If you already have a network of poker friends or are a part of a poker league, you can use this promo to have a tournament with twice as much money as normal. And the nice thing is that you don’t even have to convince your friends to drive all the way to your house to play poker.

You can get started today by logging in to 888Poker and visiting the tournament area. Create a password protected tournament, invite your friends and get ready to play. Once you’ve gotten at least six people to join you, 888 Poker will double the final prize pool of your tournament.
