888poker USA (formerly Pacific Poker) - Page 55 - Internet Poker

This is how the regulations are written, they are only permitted to not accept a wager from someone who does not pass their geolocation qualifications.

http://www.nj.gov/oag/ge/docs/Regula...CHAPTER69O.pdf

"The Internet or mobile gaming system shall employ a mechanism to detect the physical location of a patron upon logging into the gaming system and as frequently as specified in the Internet gaming permit holder's approved submission. If the system detects that the physical location of the patron is in an area unauthorized for Internet or mobile gaming, the system shall not accept wagers until such time that the patron is in an authorized location"

Clearly the regs state that geolocation must be rechecked at regular intervals, not just when you first log in or register for a tournament. As has already been stated, some tournament take several hours so a person could register from NJ and then drive to another state and gamble from outside NJ which is obviously against the regulations.

Did you get an email with FR tics already?

Here is the info... looks like a pretty good promo! Three $8,888 freerolls per week, and then an $88,888 freeroll at the end on April 6.

where did you come up with this number? Since they say complete the missions daily, I would assume they are running a $8888 freeroll every day.

888r,
So far, at least, still no free roll tiks again. The software must be miscounting for some players. Almost always had 2 cash tables going for about 4 hours last night. I have gotten tickets most days previously with less playing time and more like just 1 table going. You have my user name in my PM. Thanks!

I've asked this numerous times and still haven't heard anything. I'm not sure even 888rep knows, he/she didn't seem too well informed of what's going on there.

I have also now called twice about my $20 bubble money and the bubble ticket tonight, she said this morning she would forward it to the 'Promotions Team' as she saw where I bubbled and they'd email me. I sure hope they email me before tonight when the bubble freeroll actually runs -_-

When on the phone with them this morning, they said that they will not be sending out any more 24/7 freeroll tickets as they're done with that promotion after today.

Well you can earn tickets every day but can only use them the 3 days a week the tourneys actually run.

Maybe although you can earn tix by either playing cash games or spend $8+ buyin on MTTs - I will probably just play a single $10 MTT each day rather than worrying about clocking enough cash game hands. So it might help the MTTs get bigger fields more than it helps the cash games.

I still had 2 emails for the 24/7 FRs and they don't work, so I won't be playing any more. The page they link to says it's over.

Sucks for people who earned them under the rules of the promotion. I haven't gotten any the past two days.

Based on how poorly this automated ticket system worked for me during the 24/7 promotion, I have zero faith in them coming through with the new promotion.

if we deposit with the mad888 promo and already are getting the 80% rakeback will this deposit bonus mess up our 80% rakeback at all?

888rep, please confirm this. When you click the link for "terms and conditions" it brings you to http://us.888poker.com/terms/welcome-bonus/

...which is the welcome bonus page. Is this a RELOAD bonus, or only for new customers?

It seems like this has the potential to turn into another one of 888's terribly worded "promotion".
