According to palladinn's post to earn more 8k freeroll tix you need to play in 88 raked hands. anyone know if thats correct?

If you clicked the link in the e-mail to activate it, you have to go into the casino software and it tells you that you have $8 free play. There's a button telling you which games you can play.

888 is really bad at writing their promos in such a way that they can be understood.... but here is how I understand it:

How to get more 8,888 freeroll tix:

In a single day: play 88 raked hands
OR
play $8 total buyin tournaments
OR
Wager $88 on any casino game

How to qualify for the $88k grand finale:

Earn 8 freeroll tix total
OR
Get a full house/quads with 888 or 8888
OR
Finish in Top 8 of any of the 8,888 freerolls
OR
win entry in an $8 satellite

Or (evidently) ignore all those steps and just sign up lol.

thanks ok and 1o - I will chk l8r - I clkd on the email, but it failed although I got the tik. Perhaps the casiono 8 is there. Funny side note. I accidentally deleted the email, then I asked support to send again. Support told me no as it was system generated. Pretty hilarious that they can't manually push out an email. I like the site, but it would be cool if CS could get it together.

I did one deposit for $700, can I do another for $188 and still have it count towards the bonus?

You end up constantly typing into the chatbox of the newest table you have to act on.
I've actually typed my password to another poker site into the 888 chatbox not realizing it had stolen focus before.

There is an option to change it to focus on the bet box instead of chat but that's even worse. If you happen to hit enter you just raised.

The table should not steal your text cursor when its your turn at all. 888/wsop is the only software I know that does this. All others leave your cursor where it was and you can continue typing into whatever you were.

Help please. For some odd reason, within this last week aproximatedly 888 has decided that I am "running a remote device" and it boots me every so often. It has done little damage so far, as I've probbaly only lost about 50$ from it. However it is super tilting and I know it's goin to happen in abig hand soon. So why in the crap is this remote device notice poppin up.. I play 2 months the same way and have never seen it. This issue and the fact that I was in a 230 pot an the guy shoves his remaining 100 and I think I do a little sigh call and i somehow fold?! (I don't think I misclicked) and he shows me a bluff.. Has me a bit tilted.

Just used my free $8 casino dollars and won $10 in blackjack. First time I played blackjack in a year. Last time I'll play it, game doesn't interest me at all. Also haven't received my freeroll tickets for the last two days, but this $10 makes up for it, so it's all good

You wouldn't normally be allowed to do this but it's worth giving them a call and maybe they might help you out.

I'm sorry but theres no way around this at the moment but I will forward your feedback over and maybe it will be adjusted at some point in the future.

I had this happen while in an MTT last night... never happened before (and have been playing on 888 since the beginning). I have never installed any remote software on my computer. I restarted the computer and it was fine for several hours after that. It has to be a glitch as I absolutely have no remote software on my laptop.

I've had the raise thing happen to me a bunch of times when trying to type. Bad move every time.

(referring to the remote software issue)
Unfortunately this is no one time glitch, and I bet it will start happening to you more often. 888rep PLEASE ADDRESS THIS, obviously something is going on your guys end (updated software?) since I play in the same location every day and have nothing new on my computer. I'm going to start asking for refunds for even the smallest dollar amount since once i get kicked it closes out the tables and doesn't let me continue a hand.

I got my $88,888 ticket in my email today, but I don't remember doing anything to actually earn it. I'll have to check my hand histories. Maybe I had a full house.

So be thankful you got it and don't screw it up for everyone else. You don't want everyone complaining and getting a ticket making the field of players over 2000. Geez, you guys don't know a good thing if it hit you in the face!
