I brought this to their attention yesterday as well.

Possibly. There used to be a limitation on the number of tables and it was expanded. We may see a change again, but I wouldn't hold my breath that it's going to be anytime soon.

You have my 100% agreement. It has been one of my primary focuses here. However I can't see this changing anytime soon.

I'll find this out for you asap.

Any RB deal you had, had nothing to do with 888. If you are no longer receiving it, or have money owed, that's between you and your affiliate.

If 888 ended their affiliate deal, perhaps the distribution of RB was the reason.

Since I'm used to the quick Pokerstars cashouts I'm wondering how long it takes here, cashed out three days ago via wire but I can still cancel it. Is Moneybookers a quicker option?

I brought the lobby load speed up in my last report.

You can change the minimum bet amount in your settings to 3x BB. I'll suggest that they add .5 increments. The half pot and 3/4 bet buttons mostly accomplish a 2.5 though.

SECURITY TOKEEEEEEEEEEN!!!

atm I feel I should withdraw my roll back to MB after every session, you need to get rid of the ridiculous password restrictions.

You keep asking, I keep telling.

I believe improvements and alternatives are being looked at.

It just changed this week, I don't expect it to go back up anytime soon.

What's wrong with the client atm? I can't seem to login..
Did they do an update? Maybe they fixed the focus steal? ^^

Dear Rep,
tell me please if the bug with 4 tables cap in old lobby will be fixed or not. It's critical for many people here as I can see

Not at this time.

[Suzukishosan]

i'm happy with the 8 table rule. As a semi recreational player i'd prefer the fish:regs ratio to be as high as possible.

roflmfao at your wording.

Also, @888rep, does having the HIGHEST RAKE IN THE INDUSTRY benefit the game of poker itself as well????????????????????????

888rep, you didn't answer my question.

I didn't realize you were asking a question. I figured it was just tongue in cheek rhetoric.

I have taken every complaint about rake, back to them. Not sure what kind of pull you think I have, but changing rake policy on a whim is not one of my super powers.

I've voiced our opinions and feedback. They'll take it under consideration.

Didn't see a question. Maybe I'm being slow and missed it. I'll check for a third time after I post this.

Hopefully softer games is the result.

Is anyone still having issues? I didn't get any notification about downtime, and it was working all day on my end (Canada). Let me know if you're still having problems.

Fire an e-mail to support - support@888poker.com if you were unable to play in any of the MTT's you were reg'd in.

Hey to every one, who plays at 888 network!

I'm not sure if its correct thread to discuss such a subj. Сorrect me if I'm wrong.
As many of you probably know, there was wonderful skin modification software called PacMod, which is no longer supported, but worked fine till yesterday (it worked only with old lobby). I know personally the man who created it. He is very busy for now, but if there would be enough players willing this soft for the new lobby, it might be possible to draw his attention to that fact, and he would probably make a new version. So if someone is interested in the new ver. of pacmod pm me pls.

It looks like the tournament cap is 24.

I should have this confirmed by tomorrow though.

[Suzukishosan]

can we have some promotions aimed at cash game players please?? 90% of them just seem to be freerolls which I (and i'm sure a lot more cash players) have no interest in

I'll see what we can come up with.
