I second this and would be happy to overpay to have a security token.

GPUs Giving Hackers Yet More Ammunition

Using an nVidia GeForce GT220 graphics card - that can be bought for as little as £30 - with the latest drivers on Windows 7, UKFast's security experts were able to crack a 6 character password in 12 seconds, a seven character password in less than five minutes, and an eight character password in four hours.
I feel safe now.

Still the 8 character password restriction is beyond ******ed of course.

Thank you to 888 for good service, I never asked for a refund all I did was mention it to the phone operator two days ago that I couldn't log on and had missed out on a tournament I was registered for, so I'm assuming operator sent it up to someone to see if I was entitled to a refund.
Glad you were taken care of

The problem is that that is the email that goes to my phone and I don't want junk mail from your site going to it. Now, I know you're going to say to 'opt out' of the emails but I shouldn't have to. I sure don't have to have the same email on every other site. This needs to be fixed; it's not a difficult request.

When I click "tile tables," it tiles tables on my laptop screen, instead of my external monitor when I want them, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ALL ON THE EXTERNAL MONITOR when I press "tile." Can you please fix this asap?!?!?!

btw bonus questions..

can i withdraw when i have an active bonus running or does it ruin it?

Lets say i have 100$ to deposit with, which bonus is better?

MONSTER30 - i get 30$
888RELOAD1111 - i get 100$
both clears equivalent to 20% in rakeback in tourney fees?

Thanks

I've made multiple withdrawals with bonuses pending and it didn't affect the bonus whatsoever. I also asked live support before doing my first withdrawal, and they confirmed that it doesn't affect pending bonuses.

The deposit bonus has to be earned, while the "monster" bonus is instant, so you can do both. However, I think the monster bonus might have already passed; not sure if it's still available. I *think* the timeline for that was Oct 28-Nov 2 but don't quote me on that.

Withdrawals shouldn't affect pending bonuses.

I'll have to check about the period for the "monster" bonus.

Good to see more turbo mtts added, the more the better.

Any chance of a sunday major turbo with a buyin of 20$ or less?

Also can there be more turbo rebuy sats to your 109$ + mtts ?

Few ideas came to mind today:

Hotkey Binding - Would it be possible to deviate from the standard F5 for Fold etc? Have it configurable to other key (combinations) of our choosing
Bet Sizing with Mouse Scrollwheel - Increments by big blinds. Makes betting adjustments way easier
Dynamic Preflop Raise Buttons - Instead of the only being able to configure the bet button's raise size in settings, how about further customizability for the three 'pot size' buttons?

For example, we can click 2.5x, 3x or 4x (adjustable) and hit bet. This would be for Preflop.
If facing a bet already in front, we revert to our standard 1/2pot, Pot buttons. Also allow for custom pot sizes like 60% or 75% pot...

Opening up IE instead of your default browser is just insanely annoying.

"Would you like to make IE your default browser?"

NO....F**K OFF.

Those things never gonna happen. Makes me wonder if they have any full time software developers. What are they doing 8 hours a day?
These are minor but important issues, like not using IE, memorizing table layouts, better filter options, faster lobby, and so on. Most of them requested long time ago.

I have a software called Tilt Breaker, but it doesn't have 888 support yet. If someone wants to help me click on this link and vote for 888 support. 350 votes needed, 35 so far. It asks for registration, but you can enter any fake email it won't ask for confirmation. Thanks.

My hand history folder on my HDD is totally empty....

There's a way of seeing hand histories on the actual software by going to but my profile>Game History, but there's no way of importing anything into any kind of HEM software?

Anyone know whats wrong?

This shows the problem:




As you can see, the bottom folder is empty, despite the folders matching up.

I'll bring it up. I wouldn't hold my breathe on the Sunday 'major' turbo since Wednesday is the "Turbo Challenge." Doesn't hurt to ask though.

Interesting, I never had to run it as admin, and my HH's are saved properly. One more idea, if you use auto import in HEM, it might moves all your HH's from the Pacific folder to C:\HMArchive.
