Couple days ago I had the same problem with support - no reply to my emails... And what happened? I contacted support via 'toll-free number' given in cashier and paid like 25 USD for couple minutes of this call At least someone helped me... Email support just DOES NOT exist.

This alone should have its own thread on the forums so people know what they are getting into

RIGHT?

We are sending money to a company that has close to NO support....this needs to be highlighted all over the net...........let people know what they are getting into

888=pacific , same company different name. for skins


LotosPoker.com
LuckyAcePoker.com
Play848.com
RacingPostPoker.com
TowerTorneos.com
WSOP.com

888 have their own VIP rakeback like stars but without the glitters. up to 36% If you're VIP diamond. I didnt make it to VIP diamond last year. I played around 400k hands of mid limit LHE and NHE last year FWIW.I love the fact that you can redeem your bonuses if you reach $10 unlike most sites where you have to wait till end of the week.

To go along with cascade & tile could there be an option to "stack" the tables?

Any software updates coming soon from 888 ? Not sure if security and/or integrity is ever their highest priority but still I am hoping the increased password length and/or additional authentication and/or RSA tokens will be implemented.

This. Let's get both stronger passwords and RSA tokens. I'd be more than happy to pay a reasonable amount for an RSA token. It's one of the reason I keep the bare minimum in my account.

Please include Tournament Rebuy/Addon information into Hand Histories/Tournament Summaries.

This is very important for MTT players. Without this, we need to enter that info manually into HEM.

Thanks!

I hear ya. It's endlessly at the top of my list. Hopefully we can see some movement soon.

Will most definitely pass this along.

Just so I'm clear, you mean # of rebuys and addons, included in the summary?

888poker blocked me from playing. They blocked the account of a hobbyist with less than $20 in her account and won't provide an explanation why.

I played a hand last night where it was me and another reg in the pot and it got to the river. I checked, it looked like he bet $1 then all the money went to me without me clicking call or anything. In the hand history, it said i checked, he bet $1 and the checked aswell lol. Only thing is, i didn't get to see his hand for some reason. I had a pretty good hand also.
I wanted to email support, but looks like it's down atm :-\

I found another bug/error:

Tournament #36230487, a satellite. It started and then after 2 minutes of waiting to be seated, it said it will start in 4 minutes. The time kept going backwards, increasing to 5 and 6 minutes. This is just not acceptable.

What is going on? Am I trapped in a time/space anomaly or is 888 joking?

I'm not laughing.

I received an email to try the android beta test; downloaded it and tried it a bit. However, now there doesn't seem to be any way to log out of the android client, and I can't log in anywhere else while logged into the mobile. An email to support has gone unanswered. Any suggestions, rep?

Has anyone else had any problems depositing on 888 this way?

I attempted to deposit $1000 into my 888 account using this method. I really wish I hadn't. The payment assistant used by Citadel to set up the payee details and complete the transfer was flagged as a virus by my internet banking services (Nat West). The deposit did not go through and shows as declined in my cashier history. My internet banking services were suspended and then terminated due to the fraud risk.

After phone calls to my bank, I re-registered to their internet banking services and was able to access my bank a/c info - only to find that the $1000 (£663, nice rip-off exchange rate btw) had been taken from my bank a/c by 888 despite the deposit being declined. I phoned 888 support. The nice lady was very apologetic, and could do no more for me than to explain that it could take "up to 4 to 7 days" for the declined deposit to be credited back to my bank a/c.

I am pretty pissed off atm to say the least. Now instead of playing poker on 888, I'm sweating $1000 I've got stuck in the banking ether.

It's very unlikely that I'll be attempting to re-deposit on 888 if and when I get my money back. 888 just lost thousands of dollars in potential rake from a player who played 1.5 million hands at 25NL+ last year. PokerStars may have tough games, but in 5 years playing there my online poker experience in terms of moving money around and customer service has been perfect. Lesson learned not to trust any site except Stars, hopefully the only thing it will end up costing me is a few wasted hours.

I note there's a 2p2 username, "888Rep" with an official undertitle. If you read this, I'd appreciate an explanation as to why 888 offers a deposit method that doesn't work and is flagged as a virus by my online banking. I'd also like to know why a declined deposit is even taken from my bank a/c in the first place - and once it has been, why is not instantly credited back? Where is the money?

At the very least, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the matter with someone more senior than the friendly (but not particularly well-informed or confidence-inspiring) customer service operatives I've encountered so far; if your company has any interest in salvaging your reputation in my eyes and getting some of my business, please get in touch.

Cliffs:
  • Trying to deposit on 888 gave AIDS to my internet banking
  • 888 have effectively stolen $1000 from me as far as I'm concerned
  • Yes: OP is mad, bro.

It might probably make sense to actually send the Rep a PM with details and / or a link to this thread.

Good point, done. I was still steaming and just hammered out my post without thinking!

I also found there is an official 888 players' thread in this forum. Mods can feel free to merge this thread into that if it's just causing clutter
