Now seeing Neteller as a new deposit option in Cashier. Is this for real? Please be so I don't have to drive down to AC to deposit for the $888 bonus.

I'm finished with 888, what a joke this operation is. They can't even uphold their own promotions. I bubbled the $30 tournament last week, had to call 3 times AND post on here only for them to tell me I WILL NOT BE GRANTED the buy in back. I was not even asking for the full $30, only the $20 which is the cap THEY themselves set. They shipped me the stupid 'Burst Your Bubble' ticket and told me I would not be compensated for bubbling, which does not make any sense. The promotion was not one or the other, it was both. They also tried to tell me that the bubble ticket was worth $1000...WTF?

Insanity, considering I'm probably the largest volume player on 888, averaging 10+ hours daily. I am a full time pro and have never seen customer service this incompetent from any poker site. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. They run great promotions, sure, if only they'd uphold them. I have no issue going elsewhere over the principal of this $20.

Also looks like there won't be many entrants to the 2k freeroll tonight since no one can register. I never received a redemption email and was only able to play until the 3pm one or so. 888 is beyond sloppy with running these promos. I played 3948953884949 hands and tourneys yesterday, I should have access to this 8pm freeroll....but I don't. No surprises here.

The T&Cs for the 8888 freerolls, for the Reload Challenges, state:

The “Reload Challenges” begin at 00:01 EST and needs to be completed by 23:59 EST. Tournaments or games that end after 23:59 EST will not be counted towards the completion of the “Reload Challenge”.
And you can meet the challenge by "Play in $8 of tournaments ($8 total buy-in)".

So if I'm in a $10 tournament that starts before Midnight, but ends after midnight, will I stlll get a ticket? If I'll get it a day later, that's fine, but will I get it? Limiting the challenge to a specific 24 hour period makes sense when "completing 88 raked hands", or multiple tournaments, but not for 1 tournament.

Thanks

The chatbox stealing focus on your turn is really terrible and by far the most frustrating thing about this software. It makes note taking, or even chatting while on multiple tables an extreme hassle.

How does this promotion see itself? That is the real philosophical question...

But anyways...I wish the Big One had a better structure. It's a one time deal with a lot at final table, c'mon give us 5,000 chips

Since the email links don't work (send you to a page that says the promotion is over) then no one will have tickets after today

It seems like this has the potential to turn into another one of 888's terribly worded "promotion".
This would be for new players making a first time deposit.

888rep - FYI, you're going to lose a lot of players if there are no status point redemptions. WSOP has action points redemption and leaderboards, Party has reward points also.
