- I rang support to change my currency into GBP so that i can withdraw with out any exchange rate fees. I withdraw $135 dollars which was supposed to be £100 GBP but only got £97 so even now you seem to be charging me!

- Your reward program is literally the worst in the business and your games are not so much softer to justify this

- You also seem to have done the exact opposite of what players asked for. The consensus seemed to be for for fewer re-entry and more Rebuys particularly the $5 ones and now you have more re-entry and fewer Rebuys. And unless i am mistaken you have started raking the Rebuy/add-on for the Slow $5 rebuys.

- I have withdrawn all my money from your site and wont be playing there until these issues are resolved

3. The two was re-branded as mini starfish and gtd increased to 1.5k

4. The $5 5k gtd Turbo R&A at 19:00 was changed to normal speed R&A (10 mins) and re-branded as "R&A Blowfish".
Good changes, thank you!

You recently lowered gtd of $5 deepstack at 18:45cet/17:45uk from 2,5k to 2k. My suggestion would be to re-brand this tournament as Early Mini Daily Challenge with 2,5k or 3k gtd, re-entries and the same 5k 12min lvl.

A couple of things to add/echo:

1. Most tournaments play too deep/too long. I made the FT of a long-blind Blowfish and after 7 hours, it was down to 3 players with an average stack of 40-50BB. I guess it's good if you have an edge, but it also gets a bit too much. Maybe other people think differently and I am open to changing my mind.

2. I also noticed that almost every tournament I play is a re-entry and like some of the other players who ve chimed in, it bothers me (especially re-entries). But that's not all. Another problem is that rebuy periods go on for so long that you can get down to 5-10BB and still be able to rebuy.

Well, until this past Sunday I had the client option to automatically rebuy turned on, but there comes a point when rebuying/reentering 8BB deep is burning money or isn't as EV+, so I decided to leave it unchecked. But now this means that every time I need to rebuy I need to make a separate decision on whether it's prudent to do so and this means that while i am multitabling 20 other tournaments and I am swamped with decisions, I need to waste precious seconds so as to check the blind level and initial stack size so I can see if it's worth rebuying or not.

It's extremely annoying. You need to fix this. At the very least you need to make the rebuying/registration periods shorter.

Used to play most of my volume on 888 and have a lot of respect for what you were trying to do. Only open the client for series these days.

Thinking ahead to January XL, could there pretty please be a review of how much generic 9max/re-entry/1day uninspiring stuff there is? Thanks in advance

What about keeping the time of the rebuy period, but lowering the average blind-increase? Maybe slow down the blinds before rebuy ends and then give it some more increase.

Still can't play on your website btw, I check once in a while whether the update works and it doesn't. I believe I did a full uninstall/reinstall a few weeks ago but same deal. Am I alone in this? How many recs are blocked from your site because of this? How do I fix this?

888rep can you bump 11:15 GMT 12 rebuy GTD back up to 1.5k? never drops below.
There are also the two $12 800 gtd and 500 gtd, in the morning around 10am GMT, can you turn one of these into 6max please? 6max deepstack would be nice

still no low stakes 6-max at peak time? surely there is room for this? especially in place of one the poorly performing tourneys.

might be bc 8 max is more attractive to players and they are not to thrilled to change things right now.

no worries. what about the two $12 freezeouts? there are no good knockout tournaments in the early schedule. recs love them, could you turn one of these tournaments into a 5+5 or 10+10 knockout? like a 'The $1000 Starfish Hunter KO' or something? Think would add to the schedule and defo be more popular than these boring $12 9max $500 gtd tournaments.

Let me know what u think, thanks.

I`m trying to install the software for .ro and I get this "error" screen after I run the installer. I had the software with a mod and had to reinstall cuz the mode wasn't working because of the new update.

I've mailed the support but 24h later no answer yet.

suggestion: for $55 and $30 tournaments, in the lobby where it says "upcoming satellites to this tournaments" you should include the generic steps and the $5 to $55 tickets

Good suggestion, which we have actually discussed internally as well, should happen in the not too far away future

nice, also some of these satellites such as the turbo $5 to $55 do not have antes from the start, but have 1500 chip starting stack, should probably give these antes from level 1

raise the gtd of 6pm 11ko, it can turn into a beast if you keep pushing the gtd
