Only 90 days to clear the entire bonus!?! Damn... Isn't that counter-intuitive to encourage bigger deposits

Maybe have it such that the time extends every time you clear X amount? i.e. It's 90 days to clear say, $50. If you don't reach that, you lose your eligibility to clear the rest of the bonus (even if you deposited say $100). BUT if you clear $50 within 90 days, your next $50 will get a bonus 90 days starting from that point in time.

Figures adjustable on your end of course.

AND apply it to existing bonus clearers :P

888 will never fix this. They will never fix the waiting list bug either. I've been reporting these issues since the dawn of time, and 888 simply refuse to fix them. If they were really that bad at programming then surely they would be out of work so fast their head would spin.

Yeah it always seems like "Yeah we're reporting this to our software team"

Then rep shows up at the software team and tells them "You have to fix something with the tables and some focus, dunno exactly". Software team checks if the "pop up tables needing action button" is built in the software and think it's all done.

I bet they have no idea what we're even talking about when we say focus steal bug and I agree it'll never get fixed. Actually, it worked perfect on the old software so it should be fairly easy to roll it back.

Will pass your suggestion along.

Remember, you can stack bonuses.

I'll keep grinding. Hopefully sooner or later it sticks.

What version? Was it asking you to update and the pop-up was being blocked perhaps?

When are they going to fix:

1. The issue when you late reg for a tournament during the break, you can't rebuy or addon.

2. The ******ed fact that breaks start at 10.55 exactly, not at the end of the last completed current hand. I have a tough spot, the hand goes for 3 mins and I have 2 mins for break. Complete idiocy.

Anti-ratholing messages can be annoying. I'd like an option to auto-accept the minimum buy-in amount after rejoining a table.

Good luck getting 2 fixed. I have already mentioned this to no avail.

Maybe they could, I dunno, follow the market leader of online poker and start the break after the last hand at the x.55 mark.

As a recreational player I don't want to resort to a pee bottle and if I only get a break of a few minutes every hour because of this issue there are plenty of other places I can play.

Put it another way, why does 888 think that players would want a break of 1 or 2 mins, as opposed to 5 mins, if their last hand ran past the x.55 mark?

I don't think 888 believe this but who ever did the programming proably doesn't play or understand online poker.

hello I would like to complain about the extremely high rake at the higher stakes omaha high-low fixed limit tables. I don't think anyone in the industry charges $1.50 rake for games which start as HU. You want to encourage these games to get started so they can fill, however in hi-low the edge of one player over the other is lower than in other games (due to frequent split pots, odds to constantly chase, infrequent bluffing opportunities and other factors) so this huge rake makes it not worth-while to start a game HU against all but the complete clueless players.

My 2nd point is to raise the max stakes for the omaha 8 fixed limit games. You have limit holdem being offered at 250-500 and omaha 8 is capped out at 30-60. This makes NO SENSE.



Please get the decision makers at 888 to understand the following.

1) There is a market for medium to high stakes fixed limit omaha hi low games out there and they run all the time on other sites of similar sizes (cake, carbon have these running frequently)

2) the reason that they are not running on 888poker is that it is extremely unprofitable to start these games for two players given the rake is 1.50 for any size pot HU. Generally 2 players who have never tried it start playing then after a few hands notice the rake and quit before other players have a chance to join.

3) other sites such as pokerstars, carbon, ex-full tilt, cake, etc charge .50-.75 per hand for these games while 888poker charges 1.50

(my experience with this rake is at 30-60, I am not sure what the rake is for 10-20 but my guess is that it is also higher than it needs to be HU)

4) It is illogical to have the highest level limit 08 games be 30-60 while offering limit holdem at 250-500



k thanks

I want more options to filter "my favorites", because in "all games" -> "double or nothing" I can't filter to only holdem. In the "my favorites" menu if I select 1 tabe, double or nothing, turbo, all the single table turbo tournaments will be on the list. And a few times I accidentally registered to normal 10 handed sng's while I was busy playing on other tables. My list sorted by the buy in amount, and it's very annoying that the DoN and the normal 10 handed sng's changing place all the time on the list. I mean both have 0 players registered, the DoN jumps to the top, then a minute later the normal sng jumps to the top of the list. What for??
Also the table size and position memorizing would me more important than adding image pop ups for the chat.
Thank you

One question about the reload bonus. I'm currently clearing my first deposit bonus. I don't know how long it will take me to clear it, could be a one or two months from now. Would it be useful to deposit more with the current reload bonus code? I probably can't clear too bonuses at the same time, right?
By the time I cleared my first deposit bonus, I would have a very short time left from the 90 days to clear the other bonus. So I'm not sure if I should deposit more.

It took awhile to get synched breaks. I wouldn't say never, but it's probably not going to happen in the next update.

Hi,
Can you please provide details of the monthly reload bonus you provided earlier in the thread.
Specifically:
- How long before it expires
- Clearance rate (e.g. $10 per 100 Bonus points)
- Clarify Bonus Points or Status Points being the required type to clear bonus.
- The "bonus stack" thing, do you mean you can have multiple bonuses that you can do consecutively or can you clear them concurrently?

Just get an email today from 888 and want to compare the re-load bonus you mentioned (which I seem to recall you suggested was based on Bonus points, vs. the one I received below which is based on Status Points)

--------------Offer valid for this week-------------
Get up to $300 CashBack
Deposit $100 or more using Promotion code: 888RELOAD3 & get up to $300 Extra. (Deposit $100, get $150 extra. Deposit $200, get $300 Extra).

* We'll drop $15 of the $300 CashBack bonus into your 888poker account each time you earn 150 Status Points.
* CashBack Bonus expires in 90 days from the date of issue.
--------------

Many thanks

I think it means that even if you are still clearing one bonus, you can deposit again to store up another bonus, so as you play, as soon as you clear the first one, you start clearing the second.

IE - you don't have to wait until the first bonus has cleared to make the deposit for the second one.
