I see this 888 leaderboard, but no explanation if there are any promotions/prizes associated with it.

Does 888 ever plan on doing a software makeover? like add custom bet buttons is a must and change the sounds so players dont keep timing out when multitabling with other sites (is a deffo) could also do a player search altho that aint high priority atm also change colour felt to know whats reg speed and turbo

ive timed out countless times today already and its very tilting and im sure im not the only 1 infact ive heard players say that they dont play 888 because of this problem

+1 to this

I timed out twice the other day, once with AQ and once with AK, both times on the bb v btn raise. The AK in particular was massively tilting as I was on 17bbs and in a perfect spot for a potential double-up close to the money. It's possible that time-out alone cost me a couple hundred dollars in ev.

I cascade my tables on stars which is fine as when the action in on you the table pops to the front, but 888 doesn't seem to have this feature (unless I've missed something) so I have to keep the 888 tables in view at all times taking up valuable monitor space.

Maybe it's because I don't play there often and it's a case of getting used to the software, but I find when I have 888 tables on the go I get tired quicker because of all the extra stress of it all which is obviously a massive disincentive to play there, and it's a huge shame as I'd love to play more there.

Basically, the closer you can get your software to be the same as stars without infringing any copyrights or whatever, the better it would be for me and I'm sure many other potential customers, and you'd see new players flocking to your site in droves.

888's focus is on attracting recreational players, not masstabling grinders.

On that note please add some more objects that can be thrown across the table.

I like their strategic direction... they are improving their schedule and making minor adjustments. But I wouldnt expect them to be like PokerStars, I hope they become the best 888 they can be.

+1 to the software issues, I cannot reliably stack tables (limited screen space with other sites) there so for now I'll play just The Swordfish every day (if I bust it early then maybe more) and nothing on top. If the software was reliable I'd be able to play 5-6 tournaments a day regularly.

While you are at it maybe add new items to throw as well... here are some ideas:

- Chinese star
- dildo
- brick
- poker book
- fart vapor
- poop
- GOAT
- WOAT
- and one customizable item for Platinum VIP members

But first fix the other minor things and add more mid stakes, then the flying dildo.

Pleas add T500 and T4000 for Volcano and Whale. Both 600$ BI and worse structure than 215 major. 215 major is fine because 30m levels. But especially Volcano needs it with 20m levels.

late night croc great addition (Y)
pay out changes (Y)

doing a great job overall. really lured me to the site with new MTT schedule.
some software fixes wbn tho.

I think it might be good idea to unlock items/skins when you get new VIP level not just one for Platinum.
Will give some more reason to get next level for everyone what equal for more playing.

Some more ideas for items:
- Money
- Paint
- Garbage
- Underwear, Socks, and Bras
- alcohol

However.....no deal option?!?! Pretty mental. And without sound bitter (a 2nd and a 3rd in 3 days costing me $2k+) I really dont understand why you dont add this? Is there a reason? Must be the only major site that does not.
Just a little more patience... Should happen pretty soon.

Early antes in the "15 seats GTD to 100k sunday challenge" at 17:41 BST please too

Also what about changing the dying $7 $400 gtd super turbo into 6max to differentiate it from your super turbo offerings in the fish n chip series? allowing a second chance as same as them could also help to increase tournament participation?
1. 15 seats GTD satellite updated.
2. $7 Super Turbo will as of tomorrow be $8 with lower fee, will be a 6-Max and with 2nd chance rebuys.

Did the field shrink and rebuys were added to compensate, or did the field shrink because it's now a rebuy?

Also, utg went all in for 700 and utg+1 can now raise to 800? That's ridiculous, he can raise much less though there's more action before him?

X posts small blind [$300]
X posts big blind [$600]
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to X [ Td, 9h ]
X raises [$700]
X raises [$800]
X folds
X folds
X folds
X folds
X folds
X calls [$200]
Swamp changed to $24+$1.
Can you give me more info on the hand? Tournament ID? round ID? Your username (PM also works)? We need to find this case as I don't recall hearing of this bug before.

Player segregated leaderboard sounds terrible... please consider making this an open, running promotion and you will have people increase volume on your site.

Great improvements to date, keep working it and you will remain a contender.
