Is it normal for your software to crash for mac? I get a pop-up when I log in and it crashes every time.

hey 888 rep while youre here, loving the series and dailys being 'special xls' albeit guarantees being a tad nitty but great overall, the monday twins slot should have the 22$ 10k everyday that slot is missing somethin bellow 44$ and then on monday, you have 2 of them so its still a special, even slap 5k on it it will grow, make it rebuy once u bust / re entry or whatever would pillage imo

Agree, need something between monsoon and tornado that doesnt take 10 hours to complete. I skip the challenges as they take to long. So stop registering on 888 at 6:30pm most days

We would like to remind you that we are running 3 "Chip-In" events today. All fees from these events are being donated to "REG" charity. The prizepool will not be affected.

The events are:

18:00 GMT $5,200 $400,000 Super High Roller "Chip-In" ($200 to charity for each entry)
18:01 GMT $215 $100,000 Mini "Chip-In" ($15 to charity for each entry)
20:00 GMT $55 $10,000 Turbo "Chip-In" ($5 to charity for each entry)


Doug Polk and Tonkaaaa will be streaming the Super High Roller via twitch, so make sure to tune in!
Thanks for being snap responsive to feedback! As for the Tuesday Challenge gtd maybe Im confusing with good old days. Find a way to have some steady growth in a few staple ones (ex. monsoon, croc, challenges), this way it creates some excitement and momentum. If all guarantees are stagnant or dropping across the board there is less incentive for some to open 888.

Sad to see last 2 good rebuys ruined Deeper stacks, less action, smaller prize pool.

Nothing to play @ 888 any more, haven't seen even good quick satties for big ones (Whale hyper rebuys @ Sunday were always my favorite, quick sats giving big chances).

Hello!

Can you put some Heads-up MTTs in regular schedule?

Or, at least, in XL series?

Would be great!

could someone give me a list which rebuys are raked and which are not?

you can only see this when you are already registered.

so far, the 2$ Wacko is raked at 1.80+0.20 per rebuy.

well they destroyed the $5r 8k gtd turbo by raking rebuys so there's that .

What?! Well was wondering how it was withering even with everything else profiting from tournament serieses. I guess it will die during summer and be replaced with another useless 5$ re-entry with 1k guaranteed.

888, you're really doing all your best not to get any market share from PokerStars blunders.

it isn't raked, rebuys and addon cost 5$ tho. if it was raked you would see 4.55 + 0.45 in the tournament info. Better cry and throw false accusations tho.

It doesn't matter to me if rebuys are raked or not; I simply don't play them. I see zero value in playing a $5 rebuy with a $1000 gtd. Grow some ****ing balls and put your gtds higher without rebuys. If you do that, they will come. You've made most of your micros rebuys with low gtds because you're too scared of overlay.

888 is going backwards while Party is going forward.

Regardless it's incredibly vague and if it's unraked it'd be much better if the addon is 4.55$. If I don't know, I may not play.

The rebuy/addon amounts are misleading and should be 4.55 to avoid confusion. Yeah I was wrong about rebuys/addons being raked but the tourney is dying off at a worrying pace (1-2 months ago 1st was 1.6-1.7k every day of the week) and now it's overlaying w/ a 5k guarantee and not even 1k for first .

I agree with posters who say it necessary to improve small stakes schedule.

In recent weeks, months you have reduced GTD of tourneys which are struggling - I think it is a mistake. Instead you should introduce new products, formats etc. Otherwise after summer you will have $12 500gtd turbo deep at 18:30 GMT, $5 2-3k gtd r&a at 19:00 GMT, $22 1k-1,5k deepstack at 19:30 GMT etc.

Some concrete proposals:
* More does not mean better - it does not make much of sense to have two $12 1,5k at 16:45 GMT and 17:15 GMT. Replace them with Mini Crocodile at 17:30 GMT. Give it 3-4k gtd, 5k ss, 12 minute levels. If necessary put re-rentries.
* Introduce the 8-8-8 turbo version. It could replace either $5 turbo deep at 17:00 GMT or $12 turbo deep at 18:30 CET or other peak time turbo.
* 99 cent r&a frenzy at 17:30 GMT has been on decline for a number of years. It is very to difficult to register for it with 1,2k gtd. Replace it with $3/$5 regular speed r$a. Give it 3k-5k gtd and people will give it shot. You have too many small stakes turbos around peak time
* $5 r&a - give it 6 minute levels and slightly longer LR. It will give more play to recs with small bankrolls after add-on breaks. Longer LR will give chances for more rebuys. I hope this tournament will not die during summer.
* $22 deepstacks deserve some care as well. I would suggest to rebrand $22 deepstack at 15:00 GMT as Mini Lighting, $22 at 19:30 GMT could be Mini Tornado.

Partially true. Although main problem is that there's no interesting flagship tournaments. If there's one 12$ 4k guaranteed it would probably be more like a support for some one hour late 12$ 1k "second chance" and a reason to play both. But just one tournament don't usually bring people to play @ 888 so that's why there should be enough tournaments to give incentive for people to even open 888 software. Every site has re-entries, but problem in 888 that they have poor amount of anything else.

Currently there's no interesting games so I don't play 888 really daily. During good old times there was 19.40 GMT 12+r 2,5k, 20:00 GMT 5+r turbo with 10k guaranteed and 20:10 GMT 2r1a 6$ with 2,5k guaranteed and I played them all or at least 2. Occasionally also 3+r cam turbo with 500 guaranteed and started a quick session with them. I also opened 22+r which started 21:15 GMT with 2k guaranteed and if I had some deep runs also late 22:00 GMT 5+r. Now 12+r and 22+r is gone and prize pools withered in the rest of them so I don't care to play any of them and instead play at other sites.

Making then back to 2k starting stack / rebuy and 5k add-on (or longer latereg) would support larger prize pools with more rebuys. And you really need some not-micro level rebuys which you have removed. Please make ONE 12+r to start around 19:00 GMT with 5k prize pool and with 2k / 5k stacks, with late reg ending around 200/400/40 level. I think you'll be positively surprised.

Mentally I think one 10k guaranteed rebuy (would allow triple crown and feeling of 5-figs prize pool) should be forced (onto 5+r turbo) with changing structures. That would make me and many others probably log in and play at least those two 20:00 and 20:10 turbos.

I'm a bit disappointed in the offerings in the sats you have today for the main. It's nice that there is a $215 Mega, but the only way to get into that is through one $30 sub-sat, and then there is nothing else for the rest of the day. If it's not too late could you please consider adding a 109 or 55 mega as well? It doesn't even need to have a lot of seats gtd.
