There are a few issues like this so can you please mail support@888poker.com and they will advise you.
Thanks!

This thread is intended for MTT feedback.

PS: At least make some tournaments Sunday edition like you did last Sunday.
There's a Sunday edition with increased GTDs to many of our daily special tournaments.

Many thanks
This feedback has been passed on but for future reference this forum is for MTT feedback. The reason we show this every time is a UK regulatory requirement.

Thanks!
Already did that, after a week of waiting for their response all I got was a copy/paste of what I found already elsewhere online and nothing of that worked. E-mailed back, so expecting to receive a reply around 25 Jan with some more useless info.

There were some personnel changes within the department. We definitely care about all of the feedback here and plan to be more active in 2019.
Happy new year and wish you all the best in 2019 ! I hope you will keep improving and listen to the players. I think your product has greatly improved since this thread started. I remember when there was no automatic timebank and the lobby was such a mess...

Regarding the structures, if you gonna go with the big stacks ,at least go with 50 000 chips instead of 30 000 as the 5000 chips structure was always better than the 3000 chips one.And a few more levels in the end is a must ,as the structure is now very shallow.
But definitely keep the small stacks for most tournaments ,those huge numbers are just stupid.

Tournaments suggestions:

- Why remove the 30$ Late night swordfish ? It was a great tournament , I know it was overlaying sometimes ,but why not try to lower the guarantee first :make it 2500 gtd and it's still a good tournament.
Now I feel like there is not enough to play after 01 GMT. If not bring back the late night swordfish at least make the late night starfish 1-2 hours earlier because now it's finishing way too late.

- make the 12$ R&A Catfish at 18 GMT non turbo.it will probably stop the overlay and keep it alive

-improve the Late Great 8 structure - the 8888 structure was better , maybe too deep at the beginning but allowed more people to register late. Maybe go for something in between: 50 000 chips and the actual structure , or 88 888 chips and starting level 250 /500.

Thank you and gl in 2019 !

-1. It's great tournament since it won't last long.

Replacing regular 12r $1k guaranteed and moving it from 15:15 -> 16 and renaming it R&A Catfish with similar structure with longer blinds as current turbo catfish and with 2k guaranteed would be my suggestion. It would make it more tempting for one to open 888 software to play them both.

Happy new year!

- Late night swordfish is back with $2,500 GTD at 00:00 GMT. it has the 5k structure.
- For now we will keep the turbo r&a catfish with the same structure as it performs ok with 2k gtd.
- The late great 8 runs for ~4hrs which we think is very reasonable for 50-60 entries.

Good suggestion. done.


One more change we did is removing the $1k gtd early turbo catfish at 14:15 GMT and replacing it with a $3k GTD $16.50 PKO.

New table theme is looking better but now we need a better mtt schedule and better options to filter the lobby

oh god, what have they done, is there any option to use the old theme?

The cards on the board are too small, as are the players names and stack sizes. Our own name and stack size is so weird and positioned badly, its a big open space in the middle of the table and it just looks awful. The long information bar along the top is unnecessary, it takes up too much space and just looks bad across the whole window.

Real anticlimactic experience in the 8$ deepstack 14.15cet on sunday. Bubble and every payjump took ages. Most stacks were shallow and with 24 left there were 3 recreationals left. That cant be good for the longterm development.

No money in $8 deepstacks; everyone's solid

For a while now (at least a month) the website has said that XL Blizzard is coming in February 7th to 17th, so a month later than usual.


https://www.888poker.com/poker-tournaments/xl-series/


However, hilariously if you click on 'schedule' you see XL Eclipse schedule of last September, and if you click on terms and conditions of the apparent promotion for Blizzard, it quotes XL Inferno terms!



So I'm not sure if you can put complete faith in the info, but it does clearly say 7-17/02/2019, and that would explain why no satties or info yet.

fair enough . hopefully great 8 will get 50k stack in the future as it will only increase total time about 30 min and will allow more late reg and re-entries.I mean if now ends on level 22-23 ,with 50k will end at 25-26 max.plus you can remove the first level (125/250).

Looks like new 12r 2k Catfish has a late registration set wrong, that is 65 minutes, should be 90 minutes (until add-on). Missed it this time due to this and heard some other players missed it too, would've probably reached guaranteed without this problem.

is big fish BONANZA something special or just a name to attract players?




wouldn't a 50c 9max SNG w 5c rake not run way better than a 40c 10max w 5c rake?
10c and 1$ both have more games running at all times. It's clear people don't like 40c 10max, switch em up!
( if you smoothly want to progress in 33% manner then a 30+3 or 32+3 would be the solution, but I don't think it would run that much, the numbers are weirdly offputting, anyways. 1$ difference on the day maybe)

I still cannot see the PKO`s MTT`s on 888.ro, only satelites to them...

Go on their site and download the software, install and then you`ll have PKO`s.
Don`t worry, it will just update and your settings remain the same.

@888Rep why not prompt for update for 888.ro? Many will not see the PKO because of this.
