8 Ball Pool review
8 Ball Pool is Miniclip's long-running online billiards game. You get matched against real players, take turns lining up shots on a 3D-rendered table, and try to sink your group of balls before potting the black. You can sign in with a Miniclip or Facebook account to challenge people you know. It suits anyone who wants a short, competitive game they can pick up during a break.
A match usually wraps up in a few minutes. You drag to aim, set spin and pull back to choose power. Each match has an entry fee in coins, and the winner takes the pot. Higher-stakes tables unlock as you level up. Much of the long-term pull comes from collecting cues and table designs from the shop, which leans heavily on in-app purchases.
Why we picked it: The core pool feels responsive and fair, and finding an opponent is fast because the player base is huge.
Watch out for: The coin economy and paid items are pushed hard. Players who buy premium cues gain a real edge, and the wagering loop can feel close to gambling for younger players.
What we like
- Fast matchmaking thanks to a very large player base
- Simple touch controls for aim, spin and power
- Short matches that fit a quick break
- Easy to challenge friends through a Miniclip or Facebook account
- Updated frequently on both platforms
What could be better
- Constant prompts to spend money on coins, cues and passes
- Premium cues give paying players an advantage
- Coin wagering on every match may not suit younger players
- Built around online play, so you need a connection
