i observed that 888pokr reduced time frame of responding on e-mails from 48 h before to 12 h in present .

good thing to notice

"Please bear in mind though, that during peak times it may take up to 12 hours to reply."

Which is the hand of the day? When i opened the client, a pop-up message said that hand of the day is "KQs". Later, another popup appeared and it said "88". I played, I saw flop with both KQs and 88. I closed the client. Few minutes later, i opened it again, and a popup message said 'KQs". I hope that I can get the tickets.

Hi, talking about the Hand of the Day

I played the JJ hand on the first day and the KQ suited on the second day and I can't find any ticket for the $5,000 tournaments on my account.

I don't know if I did something wrong or the tickets take a long time to appear on the account?

It's usually 72 hours before you get your tickets but if it's been longer than that then give suppoort a phone call and they will assist you with your issue.
The phone numbers can be found in the drop down menu in the Cashier.

Thanks

It is SuicideQQ.

Thank you very much for your help.

( like skystar, i didn't get any ticket for the day 'JJ'. The bad thing about 72 hours, if you wait, you miss the tournament)

We will run a Special Edition of The Whale tonight (Sunday) due to player’s request. It will have a $150,000 GTD prize (last week and next week are $200,000 but this is last minute).

After next week we will return to the ‘every other week’ format.

Good luck!

Can Greek players play on 888poker legally and without any fear of not being able to lose their money or their right to withdraw their money from your site???

I just deposited $2000 via skrill and got charged $2171. I have deposited on maybe 50 poker sites lifetime and never once been charged like that.

Is this normal?

For some reason they allegedly "convert" usd to eur and back to usd. Needs to be changed manually by the support for no "conversions".

Why do a handful of players have no location showing? Seems absurd they can have this advantage.

We just uploaded the Main Event of the upcoming Super XL series which take place between January 24th and 31st. The Main Event which will take place on the 31.1.2016 will have a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize. The buy-in for the Main Event will be $1,050, a bit higher than the $600 buy-in last year. This will better suit our satellite structure and differentiate itself from our weekly $600 highrollers. This is the only tournament to have been published so far from the Super XL series, and the rest of the series will be announced at a later time, closer to the launch. Satellites for the Main Event will be available in the upcoming days.
Good Luck!

dude is very simple : in the 888poker account you have ( depends on your country ) 2 currency

1. is the main currency wich you play with

2.is the cashier currency = deposit and cash outs .

Thos 2 must be the same in USD but in your case is different : your deposit and cash out currency is in your country cureency : GB , CAD etc.

in this case they cant do anything with that but in the future must be carrefull and contact online support and told them to change the deposit currency into USD

p.s. of course is impossible as someone to know that and this is 888 poker trick and is not funny for people who deposit more .

I live in Thailand but I use a US dollar e-credit card to load my account and I never pay a fee or lose anything on the transaction. Why don't you open an Entropay electronic visa account in US dollars?

Some members have older software versions and for some smaller countries we don’t have individual flags.

Hi 888 rep,

Are there actually additional security log in options available? For example a security token, mobile phone verification or extra pin code (like Stars?)

Currently there is only a password log in, right?

Pokerstars just lets you open an account and that's it.
888 poker demands that you verify who you are or where you live by presenting some official documents like your ID card or other official goverment documents.
Pokerstars has only one password logi in I guess!

Hello guys.
I was wondering if someone could give me an unbiased review of 888pokee.
Since Pokerstars is let's say difficult to play because of the level of players I was wondering if Pacific poker offers a chance to build a a somewhat good bankroll for a micro to low stakes player.
Please if you can present the pros and cons of the site and in your opinion which is the bbest advantage and the worst disadvantage of the site.
Thanks in advance!
