The Friday Challenge does not have any sort of rebuy. The Wednesday Challenge has "2nd chance" written in it's name.

Would like to find out how / if I can pick the flight that I'm playing. Any help would be much appreciated!
I believe a support member should contact you within a week of the time you won. In regards to this specific event, they will credit your account with cash and you will be able to register by yourself so shouldn't be a problem to choose your flight.

That does make some sense, but I'd like to hear some more opinions as many players are used to the Turbo Mega Deep in it's current time slot and I wouldn't want to risk it's current level of participation.

They're both pretty much turbo's, switching would only make sense if you significantly slow down the mega KO structure. Structures are identical with 6min vs 10min blinds and 250/500 in the turbo added. MegaKO is smaller field though, so the actual runtime is hardly any longer.

I WOULDN"T have played it if I knew it was a rebuy. Please don't hide it. make sure people know when they register. Thanks.
There is no intention to hide this information. It is in the news box of the lobby as well as the tournament info box. The only reason it's not in the name in the $55 tournament ticket satellites is that the name would be too long but all of the information is available.

Please get us and the rest of the 888 community some answers.
I don't tell you about every move we make But yes, these lottery SNG's should be fun. No fees! We have taken 2 ideas from your post:
1. We will have a pop-up in the evening so players are aware of this.
2. We will add a $10.50 so 1:100 win and see how that goes.

$1 is better than $2 since you can get $1 tickets via steps. And even if they go slow, that's fine as you don't have to be online when the tournament runs.

100% would play turbo mega deep in later timeslot and I never play it because theres too much better stuff to reg in the current timeslot

It is crowed in general I agree.

I wish 888 had some sort of late night mid-hs turbo that you can push on certain days like sunday/tuesday/thursday/saturday etc. The usual sessions end @ 21:35 the latest for me on 888 with the challenges, I personally think the Tornado etc have too small fields to play it.
Keep the mega deep turbo as special major on sunday but then introduce a daily 109$-215$ Turbo that runs @ 23:30 or 23:00. CET
Will for sure get the runners with a little bit of promo+ 1 daily subsatty and playing a small field turbo is always nicer than a nonturbo

$27+$3 for a 6 player $30 Step 5 Satellite is way too much rake IMO... for example MTTs which run much longer are normally $30+3, but a 1500 chip sng with 8 minute levels is raked a higher %. Also should be taken into account that the prize is a $150+$10 ticket so rake is effectively payed twice.

$28.50+$1.50 and maybe they will actually get some players.

Let's give it a shot. Done.
Also lowered the step 4 SNG fee to 4.75+0.25.

A big +1 to this. I like the idea of a $55 ticket and then I can choose which tourney I want to play rather than the specific one. This also gets more runners into these satellites than before when they were spread out and specific.

How about making these ticket awarding satellites show up at the top of the tournament lobby?

Omg. <6% rake on 888.

Never thought this would happen. <3

I have 6cent left on my acc, guess I'll drop a deposit to grind some 5$ games

Of course. Like i already said change one of the two superturbos at the end of your schedule that run too close tigether anyway into a 109 with a turboish structure a la megadeep turbo on sundays.

Run some sats for it, give it a cool name and slap a 5k gtd on it.

You will watch it grow in no time. Recs love fast structures and regs will always flick it when they are done regging regular speed mtts.

Basically roughly what kranke_einz said.

Do it

Is the time bank problem ever gonna be addressed or just not possible to fix it? At least take "auto click timebank" out as an option if it's not actually ever an option. Or do something that makes people time out less. I only play a couple tournies on there a week and time out more on that site than the rest of the sites combined and it's really annoying. Not to mention when you do click time you have to carefully press it bc you're a millimeter away from clicking all in. Also starting back immed at :00 is annoying too and cuts about a minute off your break for all the people who mainly play on stars. Lotta times I just don't even open the client bc it's too annoying to play on.

Like the idea of moving the mega turbo back a few hours as its in a really busy time slot at the moment.

Also on the timebank issue not the end of the world for me that it doesn't activate without any chips in the pot but i play less tables than most regs i guess. But would be good if it was a bigger button and further away from the all in button. Its so small wouldn't hurt to make it twice the size it currently is.

when i played on 888 the thing that really bothered me about the timebank was that it only appeared a few seconds before you needed to click it which was well after it became your turn to act.

make the timebank button appear as soon as the action is on you and i would probably come back and add a few 888 games personally
