roflmfao at your wording.

888Rep, we appreciate you lending an ear to our concerns, but after your comment above, it's really time to get these push/fold tables out of my lobby. Especially since heads-up games are apparently unacceptable as mainstream tables.

I'm also waiting for a confirmation about the number of maximum sng tables. If sng's also capped I will not buy a second monitor, and rake twice as much.

Where does the sw store the noteicons on players? All i know it's probably somewhere around Users\Appdata\Roaming\PacificPoker, but which directory and which file in there?? I'm moving from another 888 room to 888 poker and don't wanna flush down my colorcoding the toilet.

I just found out yesterday that 888 has ended a rakeback agreement with sports trader for "no reason and no notice" as my affiiate said. I never got rakeback for October and its a very scummy move by 888 to say the least. I hope their rep here can see that i get my money.

New costumer here, so far happy, only things that annoy me are the delayed lobby updates and the lack of a 2,5 and 3x BB bet button.

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 am really annoyed by the new limits on the number of cash games you can play. A maximum of 8 tables is just way too low. Pls pls pls increase the limit to at least 12. If you don't I will start playing more on other sites and eventually move away from your site entirely.

I dont even know what illegal rakeback is. I mean 888 paid out rakeback to affiliates so how is it illegal? 888 is a scummy site, nuff said.

An affiliate has to agree with Terms and Conditions during the sign-up process, where it's clearly stated that offering rakeback deals is forbidden. The network wants affiliates to bring recreational players, not regs.

12? That is still too low! Like the previous poster said - it's no coincedence that 888 increased their table limit last year and having moved up to the 4th biggest network in the world.

Having been a loyal 888 player, I have to say that I am personally disappointed by this change. I wouldn't be suprised if I leave this site pretty soon and just move to another one.

It's as if 888 is saying "we don't want the loyal players who make us money on a regular basis, we'd much rather have those players who are new to the game, who make us a couple $$$ over a brief period then never touch the game again".

If that's the case, then ok, I'm sure there are other rooms who welcome loyal players and treat them seriously.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
