2 Jun 2025

The world's leading industry player in online casino gambling and entertainment, 888, had recently organized a special collaboration with Shane Warne, the Aussie Cricketing legend, to provide fans of the player and sport with a once in a lifetime opportunity; 888 offered a lucky fan and 8 of his friends to host Shane Warne himself at his home and play against him in the 888 Poker Ultimate Home Game tournament.

The winner of this special offer was Nathan Perry of Woy Woy in New South Wales, Australia. Perry hosted Shane Warne at his home based competition on a professional casino poker table along with 8 of his good friends, one of which was a waitress who kindly served them beer and pizza.

Warne is the captain of the Australian Poker Team of 888 Poker, and has confirmed his attendance at several of this year's biggest casino and poker events, among them the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the 888 UK Poker Open. As such, 888 is also offering its casino fans the chance to join Warne at the WSOP, by flying with him to Las Vegas, staying at a 5 star casino hotel, receiving $2,000 spending money and play against him at the Main Event. In order to win this one off package, players must win one of the daily Shane Warne WSOP freerolls and qualifiers. The grand final of this tourney will take place in June 14th.
