Hello!
Yesterday I ran into an unexpected moment when I tried to bet on the World Hockey Championship match. I was given a limit of kindergarten, only 12 dollars !!!
I studied your limits policy, did not find any concrete explanations, it all comes down to what is "at the discretion of the company." Although you promise big limits on such competitions, this is indicated in your rules, it also indicates that, on average, you are ready to accept a bet of 250 euros for almost everything.
Nowhere in your rules are the lower limits and the reasons for their occurrence.
Could you explain what is wrong with my bet on the match between Finland and Germany?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Winning players will get limited to very low bets. I can't bet more than 2$ on anything.

I would like to receive a direct answer from them, according to which provision of the rules they set me such a limit.
And discrimination of winning players does not contradict the law on consumer protection?

I received a response from the support

Should inform you that as soon as you pass 5 levels, the system randomly determines which prize you will receive, but the player will find out about the prize only after he opens the scratch card. In your case, it may have failed, and the prize was displayed before the scratch card was opened.
Other Russian-speaking players have confirmed to me that they also came across a similar one, that is, they received prizes on a scratch card without erasing.
Could you deal with this problem?

Ahh, OK, thanks for clearing that up. Now my next question is, how do you get an invite? Surely there is some sort of qualification. I have noticed some of the players in the line up and they are not exactly elite. Have seen some micro stakes regular donks in the field. Very weird if you ask me.

Hello,

I would like to report about a player constantly being sit out when a recreational player is broke at the table, but hasn't left it yet.

His nickname is open_bluff (Russia Federation)

He keeps being sit out until a recreational player has left the table even if other players go on playing.

This is the final answer.
Nothing more you will not achieve.
You had to be born in Russia in order to understand that you were in a rightless situation here.

Are skrill payouts delayed? My withdraw went to "in process" on friday, so it should have been processed on friday, but it wasn't. Is it just delayed or was it to stop me from using the same funds for the bonus offer I got for the weekend?

“D3n1sk4PP” Wins 2019 XL Inferno Main Event; “Tuna_lover” Claims Two Titles

The 2019 XL Inferno wrapped up on Sunday as 888poker hosted the final three tournaments on the 34-event schedule. Over the course of the series, 39,378 entrants competed and $1,695,881 in prize money was awarded.

Here’s a look at some highlights from the last four days of the 2019 XL Inferno.

The $250 buy-in Event #32: $500,000 Main Event just snuck past its guarantee by attracting 1,634 players who rebought 502 time, which created a $501,960 prize pool paid out to the top 207 players.

Among those to cash the tournament were 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (136th - $702.74), Nicolas “PKaiser” Fierro (72nd - $1,104.31), “23NoraB” (32nd - $1,656.46), “InJeBakkes” (21st - $1,907.44), “Drawhappy” (6th - $19,074.48), and “forza749” (4th - $32,627.40).

The last 888poker Ambassador standing fell in Level 25 (20,000/40,000/5,000) when Serbia’s “mr.Frodo91” raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Sofia 0Lövgren defended her big blind to see a 4♣Q♣A♥ flop.

Lövgren checked and “mr.Frodo91” bet 74,240. Lövgren check-raised all in holding the 8♣5♣ for a flush draw and her opponent called with the A♣9♦. Neither the Q♦ turn nor J♥ river helped Lövgren and she exited in 60th place for $1,205.

At the final table, the final three players worked a deal before playing it out. That is when “lucasfalves9” got his stack in holding the K♦J♥ and failed to get there against the A♣Q♥ of Brazil’s “LuisRRRRR.”

That set up a heads-up match with the Brazilian holding a slight chip lead over Russia’s “D3n1sk4PP.” The duo would exchange the chip lead several times before the final hand took place after 14 hours and 9 minutes in the tournament.

It happened when “LuisRRRRR” moved all in with the K♥J♥ and “D3n1sk4PP” called holding the Q♦Q♠. the board ran out 5♠9♣A♥5♦4♥ and the ladies held to give the Russia the biggest first-place prize of the 2019 XL Inferno.

XL Eclipse Champ Richard “ChipsFool” Hoadley Claims Inferno Title

The $160 buy-in Event #23: $50,000 PKO 8-Max didn’t have any problem surpassing its guarantee as 343 players rebought 119 times to create a $69,300 prize pool. That was split evenly between the regular and bounty prize pools.

Among those to finish in the top 48 and get a piece of it were XL Blizzard champ “IlovePickles” (25th - $235.62 + $75 in bounties), “ZDamian” (13th - $467.77 + $468.76 in bounties), “KeepTrying05” (5th - $1,819.12 + $834.38 in bounties), and “HermanMelvin” (3rd - $3,724.87 + $1,205.86 in bounties).

After 8 hours and 49 minutes, it was the UK’s Richard “ChipsFool” Hoadley defeating Russia’s LeslieGroves” in heads-up play to win the title and $6,670.28 top prize, plus an additional $5,225.05 progressive bounty.

You might remember that in last September’s XL Eclipse, Hoadley topped a 1,002-entry field to win the Opening Event for nearly $19k.

“Tuna_lover” Becomes Two-Time 2019 XL Inferno Champ

The $55 buy-in Event #26: $30,000 DeepStack saw 544 players rebuy 176 times to create a $36,000 prize pool. After nearly 10 hours of play, the tournament came to an end after a heads-up deal between the UK’s “Tuna_lover” and Brazil’s “LeoJoseCarne.” The former finished in first place for $6,581.64 while the latter took second for $5,208.36.

It actually marked the second win of the series for “Tuna_lover” after he topped a 685-entry field to win Event #4: $30,000 PKO for $5,519.90 in prize money.

Brazil’s “EduAraujo” Turns $33 into $12,333.85 Payday


While the XL Inferno Main Event recapped above was the premier tournament of the series, there were actually two other events playing out on Sunday. That included the $33 buy-in Event #33: $50,000 Mini Main Event, a tournament that drew 1,805 players who rebought 629 times. The 2,434-entry field resulted in a $73,020 prize pool that was paid out to the top 207 players.

Among those to make a deep run were “Kezlord” (29th - $240.96), “hackket” (18th - $328.59), “Msea_13” (13th - $474.63), “Kaktus26rus” (8th - $1,387.38), “Charlymogo” (6th - $2,774.76), and “Blackfile888” (3rd - $6,717.84).

After 10 hours and 20 minutes, Brazil’s “EduAraujo” defeated the UK’s “Nacenacja” in heads-up play to claim the title and accompanying $12,333.85 first-place prize. It marked the fourth 2019 XL Inferno title won by a Brazilian.

Finally, Lithuania’s “vascoscruz” navigated a 3,562-entry field to win the $5.50 buy-in Event #34: Micro Main Event turning his small investment into a $2,656.15 payday!

Is there a table of probability of falling out of prizes when erasing the "club scratch card", which is given for completing five levels of the "888poker Club".
Do the prizes somehow depend on the level? There is a difference in prizes at level 130 and 150?

No more info for scratchcards - this is given out as they see fits. If you deposit prizes are higher, if you cashout - you will get something like worthless casino bonus that you cannot withdraw at all times anyway. With friends that are at about 200 lvl we monitor it from some time. In earlier levels it was sometimes even like 180 USD in tokens. When withdrawing started these are igoodies tickets and worthless bonuses all the time.

As my colleague has previously informed you that there is no table of the probability of a prize for a "club scratch card".
The prizes fall regardless of the level for which the scratch card was received. That is, for example, a tournament ticket with a par value of $ 2 can be dropped out at level 30, and a tournament ticket with a par value of $ 1 can fall at level 60.
