Hi!

Thanks a lot for the reply, I appreciate that a lot.
While extended security is always a good thing, I need to admit that it seems to me that the way of the 2step-authetication which 888 has chosen to offer is simply a pain in the ass to be honest, considering the fact that in 2017 most clients would have a smartphone and there are things out like
google-authenticators which do provide 1time-passowrd-codes if well connected or you could just send a sms with a code (2nd password) to a player's cell phone/ smart phone.
I rly do wonder why 888 have decided to not use such a more common and convenient way for a 2step-login-methode?

Regards to the current way:
what does the 3 hour-timeframe-threshold mean?
What would happen, if I would play for 90 minutes and then would make a 15 minutes break. if i would then log in again, then the 2nd password would be still the same which has been sent within an email the at the first log in?


And please, could you find out if there are plans to implement a more modern and convenient 2step-log-in-methode.
I really do not want to hate on that one and do truly appreciate that 888 finally would offer one, but I just need to admit that I am kinda stunned and just cannot understand how 888 officials would have decided for the likely less convenient and uncommon ways for such a 2step-log-in-method - it makes me rly like that

Anyways, thanks so far.

Best Regards,
Zrebne

Working towards this goal over the past year, 888poker has already launched a number of initiatives aimed at rekindling online poker players’ enthusiasm and love of the game, including:

· The launch of a unique loyalty program which offers its recreational players a more beneficial structure and rewards system.
· Exciting and original promotions which offer all players, no matter their skill level the chance to win more cash and prizes. For example, this year’s hugely popular ‘Treasure Quest’ which required players to complete daily challenges in order to reach the end of an online game board.
· Exceptional, innovative and quick-paced poker variants to enhance players’ game experience. The extremely popular ‘BLAST’ poker is just one example of this – and players can expect some other exciting developments in this area very soon!
· As exclusive sponsors of the World Series of Poker, the largest online poker event in the world, for the third year running, 888poker has made the WSOP more accessible to its players. This year 888poker will send over 250 players to Vegas through its online satellite tournaments and promotions, which offer buy-ins starting from just 1 cent.

Several other initiatives and projects are also expected to be announced in the coming months.



SVP Head of B2C at 888Holdings, Itai Pazner, spoke enthusiastically about the poker site’s ground-breaking new approach:
“For many years, 888poker has been celebrated as a platform which welcomes members from all different levels of experience and ability; a place to call home for recreational and professional players alike.
‘Taking back the game’ is about going one step further for our players; it’s about moving forwards, not backwards, and shaping the future of online poker so that we give our players a better experience.
We have a clear and positive picture of how we see 888poker developing over the next few years, both online and offline, and I personally can’t wait to see 888poker transform and revolutionize the way online poker is played!”

A TV, VOD, pre-roll and digital display campaign will launch this new strategy. #Buzzkills, a campaign calling out all these negative elements about online poker and highlighting the changes that 888poker has made to create a more enjoyable game for a more diverse community of players.

Four 30 second ads channel the frustrations players feel as ‘What a Buzzkill’ and reveal 888poker’s solutions – less waiting, more playing; fairer games; better chance of winning and exciting promotions for everyone, encapsulated in the endline: ‘888poker. Taking Back the Game’.

888poker will continue to develop its exciting new initiatives in the coming year, whilst introducing a number of additional promotions and projects to further its ambitions for 2017. Watch this space!

When you enable this you then can not transfer money via PTP transfers!

How bad are the software guys to not see this!? (btw at least 10+ other people have had this problem)

Of course when you email 888 they have not got a clue what I am talking about.

Way around the problem is to turn of the new security feature, lol. ffs

Hi rep,

while playing SNAP I keep sitting out right after clicking the fold button (only on the table I folded on). This happens a few times an hour.

Dear 888 Rep,

after the latest software update, the size of the lobby got super big on my laptop. Im not able to see all the tables and I cant adjust the size of the window.
Size of the tables are also way too big, seems like the software thinks that I have a 4k Screen, although I only have fullhd.

Computer specs:
Windows 10 Pro
x64
Full HD 1920x1080
Intel HD 4000

yes same with me, already tried to uninstall and reinstall, didnt work.
see above post for specs, username: donkeyqong22

Sent this over for you guys.
Thanks

Does your new vision include leaving micro and low stakes MTT players behind? If so, well done.

What a load of absolute tosh

#Buzkills

losing a hand against a "sitout" player

Your guys exchange fees are sick, withdrew 6000 usd and ended up losing $416 CAD to the exchange rate, that's more than 5%. Criminal.

If I withdraw 1000 USD to my bank which is in GBP and select USD as the withdraw method, will there be any fees from 888 or anyone else, before it gets to my bank and they do their FX + fee?

Make sure you contact support first to have your default currency changed to USD,

Poker Photography Comes to Life with ‘fabfotos’

Nothing fans the flames on a memory of a great sporting event like a photograph.
When we close our eyes to remember an event that rocked our very emotional foundation to the core it’s the photograph that is seared into our neural pathways.

Who can forget the photograph taken by Neil Leifer of a young Muhammad Ali, standing over a defeated Sonny Liston, with that look of arrogance that would help him become the most talked about fighter in the history of the sport?

The emotional intensity of the famous shot of a defiant Jesse Owens, standing on the podium of the 1936 Olympics in the midst of Nazi salutes and an on looking Adolf Hitler angered that a black man beat the unbeatable Aryan race.

Sport is nothing without vision.
For vision to last an eternity, we need someone standing in the right spot, at the right time, to take the right shot.

The poker world is no different.
