Is there a plan to at some point create some sng action on your site?

You still have the two huge drawbacks that don't seem like you have any interest in changing. The blind levels as constituted will cause sngs to last 1 hour+ if they ever go off, and secondly you have never attempted a sng leaderboard which WILL create action on your site. Why are these continuously ignored month after month?

Multi table sngs? They can't get single tables running... How about a MTT KO instead?

I got an email from 888NJ when this new freeroll promo started.

Quote:

"Want to get more Deep Freeze Freeroll tickets? Just complete any one of the following in one day to get extra tickets:

Raked Hands
2 Play in 30 raked hands to get 1 ticket or 60 to get 2 tickets.
Tournaments
2 Play in tournaments with buy-ins totaling $5 for 1 ticket or $10 for 2 tickets.
Mobile app
2 Play in 30 raked hands or in tournaments with buy-in totaling $5 on the 888poker app to get 2 tickets."

I don't understand what the difference is, if I play on my mobile app or on my laptop, to you guys. Why the hell would I play on my god damn cell phone if I am at home?

In other words, they're trying to promote degen behavior lol. I wonder if I register on the mobile app, play one hand in the tourney on the app, and finish the tourney on my laptop, how will that tourney be tracked as? They already have enough trouble tracking my tourney play without using the mobile app, now they just wanna make it even more difficult.

ive noticed with the newest freeroll Qualifications. if i do the dailt mtt challenge (my challenge is play in 5$ worth of mtt = you get one tik, 10$= 2 tik) i always get my tix.

but when i play cash and i should qualify for the cash challenge (my challenge is play in 50 raked hands= 1 tik, 100= 2 tix) i either dont get any new tix or i only get 1 when i should get 2.

perhaps i dont know the definition of "play in x raked hand s"exactly means?

funny thing is the site collects more rake when i do the cash challenge vs the mtt challenge ...

888 rep: Did I read this promotion wrong? I deposited $30 on Thursday morning before the Twitter freeroll, but it's Monday and I haven't received my $10 bonus. What's the deal with this? (I also PM'd you this with my screenname.) Thanks.

>As an added bonus, players who load $30 or more on to 888 during the week leading up to the freeroll, and who use the promotional code FOLLOW888, may receive a free $10 bonus.

888Rep,

Some one else mentioned this in the NJ online poker thread, but I thought I'd mention it here.

The "deep freeze" promo has been extended through 1/31, but all of the tickets expire on 1/2.

customer service across the board for nj sites needs to be looked at hard. i called about not receiving my rakeback for the holiday 50% off sale. I only received my bonus for one days worth of play. I called to ask what was going on and they said they would look into it and email me within 24-48 hours. Well I got a response;

Quote:

"my name" this email serves as a follow up to your query about the HOLIDAYS2014. Please note that your $1 was granted to your account for what you raked.

If you need further assistance feel free to contact us again.

I didn't want to know why I received rake that one day, I wanted to know why I didn't receive rake the other 7 or 8 days this promo has been running. Hate, hate, hate that I have to communicate with incompetent individuals about MY MONEY!
