Hello,

How is your bot problem? Do you take this problem seriously and seek and destroy(ban) these accounts? Chico network has 3 bots at one table sometimes. I hear iPoker is bot infested as well.

Also what is the rakeback here?

Do you do daily rake races?

Any skins of 888 poker that offer rakeraces or rakeback?

There's not bots, not rakeback or races and no skins

Bots can appear at any place where there are profit opportunities (incl. weak opponents) and security breaches. Rakeback isn't necessary.

I've not had much time to play lately, and one thing has become apparent to me; there is a lack of turbo mtt's. Those that are scheduled generally start too late (uk) and are too infrequent.

Would it not be good to schedule; 1, 3, 5, 12, 22, 33($) etc turbo mtt's at least every two hours? Even if they don't have a GT?

I have logged in a few times now, scouted accross the lobby and logged out because there was 'nothing to play!'

Mine sometimes crashes after a temporary freeze or it just vanishes out in thin air out of nowhere.


This has been happening at least once a session for months now.


So far, I suspected this was happening because of my hotkey program (table tamer), so it would help if people shared their experience.
I had this happen to me on 2 different laptops. The software crashed on me mid session for absolutely no reason, and would do the same repeatedly after logging back in. This resulted in me blinding off and losing several buyins as I was multitabling. I was playing stars and party at the same time with absolutely no problems.

I emailed support and asked if I was going to be issued with a refund. I received a response 2 full days later, and it was a copy/paste reply telling me to check my internet connection. I mentioned the fact that I was playing the other sites at the same time.

I was asked to provide feedback on this woeful customer service: I said that unless I was issued a satisfactory explanation and a refund that I would not play on the site again. 888 did not respond and I, accordingly, have not played on their site at all since.

concerning the new layout it is horrible, I dont mean the bugs and errors appearing all the time.. I mean you can fix them but the new beta version of the new software is so unpractical especially at the SNAP format.

Players please give feedback, I dont mind if it is positive or negative, but if you dont tell them, they will launch it and the beta version looks horrible

I withdraw 1.000.- usd with neteller for the first time, I chose usd to be transferred having the horrible experience of your insanely bad exchange rates when cashing out via bank-account...

NOW I GET 849.- INSTEAD OF 881.- EUR FOR 1.000.- USD .... ARE U KIDDING ME? THIS IS ROBBERY TO CHARGE 32.- EUR EXCHANGE FEE FOR 1.000.- USD

Very impressed with the recent turn around time regards my last withdrawal. Exemplary stuff, thanks.
Yea, it was always 5 days, on the button for me, the 5th day it hit. Bit I just had one hit in 3 days, I was surprised.

I dont live in UK anymore but I can agree that there is no turbo MTTs within GMT 5PM-10:30PM with a decent range of buyins. There is barely any 8s and 12s. There used to be a 6.30GMT 12$ turbo deep which disappeared since the addition of PKO.

I'm asking more about the overall ecosystem.

Are bots taking over the site where 2 or 3 bots are at every table?

Or is it something where you find a bot but shortly after they get banned because 888 cares about the security of their site and long term image as being a site where recs and regs can play a fair game?

Hi. I'm having difficulty for months to open the software. I do reinstall procedures, reboot the computer, restart the internet, run both installer and poker.exe as admin, the site is already on the firewall and anti-virus exception list, but I still have the same problem. It does not exit the loading area and opens the sector to log in. Sometimes I spend hours repeating all these procedures until I open the software, usually I have to give up playing.

yes, i already sent email to support.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: December 16, 2018



Matheus “Yattag0” Dahdah Captures Sunday Mega Deep Title for Brazil

The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep snuck by its $80K GTD by drawing 284 players who rebought 136 times. That created an $84,000 prize pool that was paid out amongst the top 40 players including Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson (23rd - $840), “progree69” (16th - $1,260), “Life0nMars” (7th - $2,520), “GangstaGo” (4th - $6,720), and “ShipGold” (3rd - $9,240).

After 10 hours and 11 minutes, Brazil’s Matheus “Yattag0” Dahdah defeated “Duckface01” to capture a $16,380 first-place prize.

“NoTrustever” Turns $22 Into $4,356 in Mini Mega Deep

The $22 buy-in Mini Mega Deep saw 866 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 344 times, which surpassed the $20K GTD by creating a $24,200 prize pool. The top 117 players got a piece of it including Ole “ole_schemion” Schemion (87th - $55.66), “888pruha” (43rd - $87.12), “SanyaKalach” (22nd - $111.32), “LeonBY” (6th - $978), and “bluecheek” (4th - $1,754.50).

After “Naiklez” bowed out in third place for $2,347.40, the title came down to Latvia’s “NoTrustever” and Canada’s “MrYoungShark.” Just over nine hours into the tournament, the former prevailed to take down a $4,356 first-place prize.

“eltxupacabra” Wins Progressive Bounty in Turbo Mega Deep

The $215 buy-in, $15K GTD Turbo Mega Deep had 67 players rebuy 17 times, which created a $17,640 total prize pool ($9,240 in the regular prize pool and $8,400 in the bounty prize pool). Among the dozen players to get paid were “scellone94” (9th for $254.10 + $50 in bounties), “HateH4teHate” (5th for $877.80 + $525 in bounties), and Kenny “SpaceyFCB” Haellert (3rd for $1,293.60 + $125 in bounties).

After just over three hours, “eltxupacabra” defeated Sweden’s “Madeon1994” in heads-up play to win the title, $2,517.90 top prize, and the $2,750 progressive bounty. Meanwhile, “Madeon1994” won $1,709.40 plus $918.75 for his runner-up finish.

It was just the latest win for “eltxupacabra” in 2018. Back in March, he won the Mega Deep for more than $20K, and then in May won the XL Inferno $50K Crazy 8 for $9,500.

The Sunday Deepstack Monsoon Doesn’t Break the “Dam4666”

The $55 buy-in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon featured a $10,000 GTD, which it easily surpassed by drawing 198 players who rebought 91 times. That meant $14,450 was up for grabs and paid out to the top 27 players including “WhosToClaim” (19th - $144.50), “GramNaKartke” (11th - $253), “mugggggy” (6th - $722.50), and “Legooolas” (3rd - $1,698).

After 9 hours and 37 minutes, it was Greece’s “Dam4666” besting Lithuania’s “Raise1In.” to win the title for $3,107. The win came two weeks after “Dam4666” won the $4,000 Twister for $1,337 and a month and a half after he won the October 1 $10,000 Monsoon for $2,150.

Luck of the Irish Prevails in Monsoon as “casco38” Captures Title

The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon attracted 221 players who rebought 72 times, which generated a $14,650 prize pool. Among the top 36 players to get paid were Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (32nd - $110), “ZDamian” (23rd - $125), “Dablinov” (9th - $278), “nacho_scocco” (5th - $850), and “mpompos6” (3rd - $1,655).

After 6 hours and 48 minutes, Ireland’s “casco38” defeated Sweden’s “NOeTKAKA” in heads-up play to win the title and $2,996 first-place prize.

When i started 888poker today it reminded me that paypal will no longer be available after dec 18. and offered some deposit bonus. That is why i asked if paypal will not be available just for deposits and also withdrawalls. I can still withdraw funds via paypal right now, i just wanted to know if i will be able to do so in the future.

Name is Sokra30.
