Hi,

So I've been playing on 888 poker for about 6 weeks now. It is my only source of income and I am doing very well for myself as you can see below.

I recently sent them an email to restrict my max buy in for cash games and tourneys as you can see below.

The following day I noticed my account had been temporarily disabled. At first I thought this was due to making two withdrawals close together but then I received a pretty shocking email with little explanation.

I was honestly quite shocked at this response. On pokerstars I have had my buy ins restricted for years without any issues.

Not only did I have uncleared deposit bonuses, over 40 unused tickets and gold tokens, but also my bankroll for $3 9 mans and two pending deposits for a total of $350.

There was no mention of this....

They have taken my only source of income away, assumed I have a gambling addiction and completely wiped my account....

Absolutely disgusted.

Just wondering what my next step would be?

Thanks for reading.

No issues with my stars account, 888 is just softer for 9 man sngs.

You mentioned gambling. Ain't the first time 888 bans you after saying something like this. Your next step is to move to stars or find a new format of poker to play.

Change title to "i have a mild gambling problem, 888 protected me". Words that triggered this response:

gambling
for larger amounts
afford to lose

You should probably prepare yourself for being banned for your own good by other poker sites.
