I agree that 888 takes little, very little action against bots. At this moment only pokerstars fights bot. Party use too, but after the update it all went the wrong way.

Hello,



888poker is proud to announce the newest addition to our roster of Ambassadors – 26 year old Russian Pro Daria “Scarlett_D” Feshchenko.

You may remember Daria as a part of Team Russia during 888poker’s popular “8-Team” competition during the 2018 World Series of Poker.

“I hope that they enjoyed me so much that decided to make me their ambassador” she said with a laugh.



We did, so welcome aboard!

I emailed support regarding this issue and the issue where players at the cash games are sitting out, leaving (after presumably they are being timed off a table) and immediately rejoining and sitting out again. I won’t attach a name to the email because he is a real person and not wanting to put them on blast personally for stupid responses but. I told them what had happened, that a player was sitting out 4 handed. After a while he left at one position on the table while sitting out and immediately sat again at a different spot snd continued to sit out. I left to see what would happen and 10 seconds later all 4 players were gone. The response I got was this

“ With regards to players sitting out, there is a rule in place that after a few minutes sitting out any player will be kicked off the table.

You can review the house rules here: https://www.888poker.com/poker-software/house-rules/


Not even a suggestion to forward to integrity team and dismissed the whole point that a normal person does not do this. This is a bot/script

They just play dumb. Here is further response I got from them bringing up bots and scripting

“Also, please note that we are very strict with members accounts when it comes to any fraudulent behaviour and we do have some of the industries leading fraud detection systems and our Operations team is second to none. All this means that you can be secure in your gaming”

How can there be an issue with his contact details. You simply contact him back from the method he reported the concerns to you from. It’s not rocket science. Well, it seems to be for you.

Could you please fix the payouts for the 55pko 6-Max 5k gtd? It's the only PKO on the site that pays less than the BI for the min cash.

Dude, are you going to comment every case in this topic and shame 888 in every situation? I am the last guy to defend 888 but

It is obviously not secure, the player should be contacted by his registered email. Otherwise any guy could write and tell them that your nickname is his nickname and he forgot the password.

888 was already fined 8 million dollars for neglecting customers - responsible gaming. They were warned to stop neglecting customers and they continue to allow us to play in corrupted games, play on horrific software that makes players lose money and do not honour refunds, take enormously unreasonable amounts of time to respond. They need to be held accountable.

But they don't need to be shamed for every post just because you are angry for them. Try to be more objective. Poker rooms regularly pay fines: PokerStars, William Hill, Bet365 , just google it.

I’m owed refunds. Many of them now and there is no constant dialogue. There is disjointed moronic, unprofessional responses like I am speaking to a toddler. This is not acceptable. They are not so incoherent in their commercials. Respect deserves respect. Stand by your product and your players. Stop ignoring serious game integrity emails and refund emails for malfunctioning software. You can define it as shaming I am just holding these clowns to a small standard. What they are doing is a form of abuse - Neglect

I already asked you for your poker user name and details of your issue but you have declined to give them so there is nothing I can do for you with no ID.

Your support has my ID and the numerous refund emails and scripting emails. They’ve disappeared. There is a serious problem with your “support”. Players should not have to log into obscure forums on the internet to get help with accounts and have you do your jobs. So the real question is why is your support notorious for taking unreasonable amounts of time to respond to emails and if you’re this thin in numbers who the hell is watching game integrity real time. Makes sense why so many reports of shady play is going on

So the 888Rep offered you to help in sorting out your situation, you rejected and just continue to write the same angry posts? Nice work.

Okay, twoplustwo is now an "obscure" forum. It is common situation when major poker rooms have it's own representative who helps to sort out some irregular questions.

I have to say they have the worst customer support ever. It’s two weeks I’m trying to solve something. Very small but they answer to my emails every da days.

Get rid of the pop ups that come up right after we log in, that are obviously meant to make us misclick one of your promotions.

And for anyone else who's sick of them, after you log in, just keep smashing Esc and they go away as quickly as they come up.

How does your joke software manage to crash both 888 and Pokerstars at the same time? That's a new one.

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

THIS WEEK: August 18, 2019


“dutchfish81” Wins Sunday Sale Mega Deep for $20,145

The $100K GTD Sunday Sale Mega Deep meant the usual $215 buy-in was slashed to just $109, and the players came out in droves as 820 runners rebought 293 times to create a $111,300 prize pool.

The top 108 players got paid including Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (91st - $244.86), “paraRC” (50th - $367.29), “jorec” (23rd - $534.24), “ellargio” (11th - $1,202.04), “IMMarius” (6th - $4,618.95), and “ContaSagrada” (3rd - $10,851.75).

After 11 hours and 42 minutes, “dutchfish81” defeated Brazil’s “KaizenStyle” in heads-up play to win the tournament and $20,145.30 first-place prize.

“RAGATTACK” Takes Down Sunday Sale Whale for $10,065

The $320 buy-in Sunday Sale Whale featured a $20,000 guarantee, which I blew past by attracting 93 players who rebought 29 times. That created a $36,600 prize pool paid out to the top dozen players.

Among those to cash were “Madeon1994” (11th - $915), “prebzzz” (8th - $1,281), Steven “Kale333” Van Zadelhoff (5th - $2,562), and “Ronaldo4112” (3rd - $5,124). After 7 hours and 44 minutes, it was “RAGATTACK” besting “Kafrou” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $10,065 first-place prize.

Sunday Sale Challenge Culminates in Three-Way Deal

The $55 buy-in Sunday Sale Challenge had a $20k GTD and breezed by it as 488 players rebought 173 times. That resulted in a $33,050 prize pool paid out to the top 63 players including “Merfinis” (56th - $145.42), Ian “Simpioni” Simpson (40th - $165.25), “888pruha” (21st - $198.30), “BuzzmanBusby” (11th - $396.60), “Patsharpe” (7th - $1,074.12), and “amaze1” (4th - $2,577.90).

The final three players worked a deal that saw all of them lock up more than $4,700 and then they played it out for the title. After 9 hours and 11 minutes in the tournament, it was Finland’s “KaiDorkin” coming out on top to the tune of $4,732.69.

Sweden’s “MorayEEEEEL” Weathers Monsoon to Win $2,600

The $55 buy-in Monsoon surpassed its $10k GTD by drawing 183 players who rebought 59 times. That created a $12,100 prize pool distributed to the top 27 players including “pokerdave128” (26th - $121), “TrapoPomp1n” (15th - $181.50), “Tuna_lover” (9th - $242), “ole_schemion” (5th - $726), and “Smithstudent” (3rd - $1,421.75).

The tournament ended one minute shy of lasting seven hours and did so with Sweden’s “MorayEEEEEL” defeated Belarus’ “LaGushatnik” to win for $2,601.50.

“Pikukryzius” Victorious in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon

The $55 buy-in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon cruised by its $10k GTD by drawing 185 runners who rebought 77 times. That resulted in a $13,100 prize pool that was paid out to the top 27 players including “Merfins” (26th - $131), “Ch.Boyle” (20th - $131), “888pruha” (16th - $163.75), “Dablinov” (9th - $262), and “JBHInfinity” (4th - $1,146.25).

After 8 hours and 52 minutes, the title came down to “Pikukryzius” and “uzversiu” with the former ultimately prevailing for $2,816.50.

I got that promotion. its a reload bonus

Bonus 5 % up to 30$ 93.00 %
Bonus 25 % up to 30$ 4.49 %
Bonus 50 % up to 30$ 2.50 %
Bonus 75 % up to 30$ 0,0099 %
Bonus 100 % up to 30$ 0,0001 %

I've 1 chance out of a million to get a 100% reload bonus of 30$. its not 30$ cash btw, ive to clear it too on top. Why is this so rare its just a reload bonus lol you people act like its a jackpot prize or something. It's not even that good even if its was 100% up to 30$ automatically for everyone.

also 5% doesnt even cover currency conversions. It's so greedy and stupid man, just give everybody 50% or something

I wont be participating. please consider doing better than this next time it's horribly bad

I just buy a new computer. I could not install the 888 software. After numerous attempts and searching the Internet, I decided to send email to support asking for help. After a 10 day wait they told me that they don't know any solution and suggest me to play on the phone. I am disappointed and having to believe what they say here, that the site will fail soon. I play for 2 years practically every day, I was forced to look for new rooms.

Maybe not ideal either but you can play 888 through a web browser.
