About

We’ll start with a little background for this Littlewoods Poker Review. The company will be known by many in the UK for the Football pools and have been a gaming operator since 1923. They have recently ventured into the egaming market with their Casino and Poker room.

Software and Playability:

Littlewoods Poker use software provided by the Cassava group who own the 888.com brand. The poker software is a very good option and the company (Cassava) strive to keep on top of the game when it comes to developments and adapting to the players needs. The in game play has everything you could really need from a classic poker site with recent developments including new table view options and player features.

 
The navigation is easy within the main lobby and this extends to the aesthetic appeal of the tables. We have played for a number of hours during peak times and have not had any speed issues.

Games and People:

Littlewoods Poker have a limited selection of games at their tables but host the classics: Texas holdem, Seven Card Stud and Omaha. These games are available in No limit and Pot Limit form but if you are a player looking for some more selection in their room, this may not be the one for you.

 
Being a part of the 888.com network, there are a decent number of players on tables. Because of the close links to the casino side of this company, there is an inevitable crossover of first time players to the tables. At Texas Holdem especially, you can find a lot of opportunity on the lower stake tables.

Tournaments and Promotions:

Promotions at Littlewoods poker are similar to others on the 888.com network. They offer a healthy number of freerolls including the first depositors which can help you take a share of the $3,500 prize pool. (not bad with a straight up 25% bonus for depositing). They have numerous Guaranteed money tournaments with the daily $20,000 being the highlight.

 
An excellent tournament offered by Littlewoods Poker is the double or nothing sit and go’s. Literally, have the table get the losing halves buy ins. Ads a beginner, this is an excellent way of making sure you come away from the table up and buy ins are from as little as $2.50.

When carrying out this Littlewoods Poker Review, we were more than happy with the efficient resolution of our payment queries.  Using the Live Chat option, we found the member off staff dealing with us to be extremely helpful.  Littlewoods offer 24 hour support including Email, phone and of course live chat.  One drawback being the number of languages supported.

 

On the security front, we have heard of now issues at all involving Littlewoods Poker.  The company employ up to date technology that identity’s collusion at its tables but also recognises fraudulent players that have somehow sneaked through!

Depositing and Withdrawing:

Depositing and withdrawing at Littlewoods Poker is a straight forward process with the minimum deposit £15.  Just remember that you will get 25% of your first deposit in your account immediately with the welcome bonus (but only first deposit). The options available are limited but can be seen below:
