So none of these most very important things matter if you post a blind at microstakes twice a year?

lol the bs ppl come out with (and the pathetic GRA swallows).


and btw Ladbrokes doesn't do this and is under the same regulation

Very good point.

And it doesn't matter if their customer was money-laundering as long as they suck all this dishonest money off into their coffers at 10% per month for ten months?

I cant PM because I am new here.
You can email me at overbored@hotmail.com
my name on 888 is "saab99"

I have talked a lot with the 888 support and they just tell me that I have agreed to the "terms and conditions". nothing they can do about it...

maybe if i write this I can PM....

didnt work... how about this?

not that either. I try with some other thread...

Thanks, OP, for the heads up.

Not at all. This "policy" is ridiculous no matter what lame excuse they come up with. An uncapped 10% fee is absolutely unproportional.

Because of this thread I checked my Littlewoods(Pacific skin) account that has more than 5k GBP in it. I haven't played there since before the summer. No money has been deducted yet.

Littlewoods has the same T&C clause:
"Should you fail to use your account for six months your account will be considered a "dormant account". The six-month period will run from the date of your last login to your account. In the case of a dormant account, the Company will levy a monthly administration fee at a rate of 10% of the balance in the account on the date that it became dormant. "

wtf witch is it? Is it simply "log in" or is it "log in and play a hand"? Or, are they going to tell you exactly witch after the fact, say, to a person who has logged in once every 6 months.

Come on, now: I clearly wrote in my post (re-copied above) that I only THOUGHT he said I just had to log in but that he MAY have said I actually had to play...so there's no real inconsistency there...completely possible he said "play", as I more than made clear.

But still: complete joke of a reply:

1) As already mentioned, why is all the 'security' stuff moot if I log in and play a $0.01 / $0.02 microstakes hand every 5.5 months?

2) Why don't other operators have an uncapped 10% penalty??

3) And you wrote: Fair enough >> so just cash the player's entire balance out to his preferred cashout method after 6 months. What possible rationale is there to just palm it for 888???? You write also that you need "a policy which deters customers from leaving money with us without playing with it." You don't think you can come up with a deterrent that's a smidge more proportional??

teddyFBI,

"Now the reason we need to do this (and like a lot of other operators by the way, especially all the ones with same licensing we have), is that we cannot keep an open cash liability in our financials forever ..."

Can't you read?

They need to confiscate resting players' money because six months is "forever" on the internet.

Teddy I wasn't challenging your post, I was pointing out the inconsistencies of the rep's statements. In Mike's reply it says both log in and log in and play. Witch is it?

This is all after they have stated that they weren't doing this anymore, so regardless of what they are saying now, they were telling 2+2'ers that they only need to write into support to get a refund but during that time they were still taking everyone's money, including a couple 2+2'ers that wrote in.

lol

I have forwarded this.

I don't know what will happen, or if what Yuv wrote about refunds still applies. All I can do right now is put you in touch with someone higher up than the first line of support.

Thank you

I got 70% back. Asked if it was because of "Jon G" but they didnt answer. They just wrote:

...your satisfaction is our top priority and as an exceptional gesture of goodwill, we have credited 70% of the deducted fees while your account was dormant back to your bankroll.

giving back 70% of stolen money is a "gesture of good will" these days lol

gfys 888. good luck competing with anyone.

exceptional gesture of good will

Yea, and this is one of those clear cut cases of "I wonder about the people that don't know about this forum".

It looks as though saab99 signed up just for this. So if he doesn't know about this thread etc I guess he's screwed.

And this is why I will never play Pacific / 888 again.

This site is still using this practice but what is even worse they now allow colluders too keep playing on the site!

One of there managers even admitted in a thread about collusion that they dont have a policy too deal with colluders!

Fraud is rife and they do nothing too prevent it!

On the plus side the players who are colluding are brainless and so easy too spot them.

link?

Not sure how 2 put up link and im not allowed too add attachment.
maybe you could go too 888poker forum,thread colluders and the managers names is gareth and link it for me please.

cheers

Edit/MH: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...policy-954643/

I will bump this every few months till 888poker change there policy!

Could be a very long time!

First time posting on here.
This dormant account has just affected me.
Basically had $500+ in my account but hadn't accesed it in a year.
When I accessed total bankroll down to $142.42!!
I've had my money stolen in this manner $400+... I see this like many here as stealing!
I have highlighted this link in my email to them requesting a full refund.
I'll let you all know how I get on.

Also, if possible would any members be happy to back me on this unjustifiable issue?
If I need help.

emmett77,

Don't know if you used support@888poker but you will likely have more success with manager@888poker.com

Thanks, I'll try this now. Haven't had any response as yet.

Give it 2-3 days emmett for a reply which is 888s usual time to reply.

Im sure there is a post either on this thread or the one on 888 forum which says you will be reimbursed if you contact them(this has only been the case if you mention posting your complaint on here,if they dont know you have posted on here they will send you a preprepared e-mail saying basically your not getting money back and this is the final decision which it aint.)

Good luck
