I'll field the first question with 100% accuracy:

rakebake is at 'x' percent for 'y' level.
2% for blue
2% for bronze
4% for silver
9% for gold
18% for platinum
27% for VIP
36% for VIP platinum

rakeback is only paid out once you reach $10 worth however. So if you are playing microstakes chances are you'll be bronze/silver status.

so for bronze, you'll need to pay $500 of rake to get $10 back.

No news yet.

Should you fail to use your account for six months your account will be considered a "dormant account". The six-month period will run from the date of your last login to your account. In the case of a dormant account, the Company will levy a monthly administration fee at a rate of 10% of the balance in the account on the date that it became dormant. The administration fee shall be deducted from the dormant account commencing from the last day of the sixth month in which the account is inactive and on the last day of every month thereafter, until the balance of the account has reached zero. In the event that you login to your account during the ten-month period during which the administration fee is levied, the Company will cease to levy the administration fee but shall not be obligated to return to you any monies already deducted from the account at such time.

You'll know as soon as I do.

I've asked for feedback on this issue. Awaiting a reply.

Thanks for the feedback.

1. See above.
2. I'll mention it
3. I'll see what sort of alternatives we can look into.
4. I believe this is being worked on, don't quote me on that, I'll check into it first.
5. More Omaha games are slowly making their way over. There have been alot of good value tournaments added recently. Mixed games are probably still a little ways away.
6. You won't get text-based HH's through support. They can supply summaries of hands but not the histories. I agree, this should be improved.

888Rep have you released an update to the 888poker software anytime recently? Also how do i check the version number of the software i have? and also it seems software upgrades are slow - when are we going to get one major upgrade with some serious improvements/tweeks

Isn't this incredibly poor unless you're VIP+ ?

I know you did not personally come up with this policy, but it is unbelievably sketchy and unethical. Frankly, it's borderline theft.


edit: On second thought, it is theft. $10/month would be an administrative fee. 10% of the balance is just stealing.

There is a huge thread about how much of an issue it is. Recently, after a ton of negative critism, they have been giving some random % back if you complain after the fact. The thread is here in Internet poker somewhere, it's an incredibly ridiculous policy though.

That thread is a good read btw, at first I don't even think they sent out warning e-mails.

Yes it is. It is also one if the great things about the site, it's not full of rakeback pros and has the best ratio of solid-casual players. I just wish their rake was lowered to the industry standard.

On the plus side it seems like you can pretty much always be under a reload bonus. That adds a decent % to your rakeback.

Maybe its just me but I think this client reminds me a lot about Full Tilt's. At least the sounds are VERY identical, but also how the interface is structured. Its like a mix of 80% FTP and 10% Stars with the last 10% being unique. Its not as good at FTP were or as Stars is, but I actually think its pretty decent comparing to many other networks.

I miss a warning sound where your hand is about to get automatically folded though. I'd like an option to ONLY play this sound and no other sounds. I don't know how many hands I've mucked by mistake when multitabling.

Cheers

Invalid promotion code for me?

Any reason?

prob not even worth asking. LA is not included in this right?

I tried to play on 888 and left with a bad taste in my mouth. I know that every business wants to make money, but this is the one network that only cares about just that.

I was trying to browse the deposit options and got hassled right away to make a deposit. I didn't even have time to look at everything. Anyway, after my initial deposit and going bust, the cashier and live chat now pops up everytime I log in and asking me again to deposit.

I kind of liked the software and players too, but this operation is run by greed and I felt invaded by my first time there. I won't go back.

The next is in the final stages of testing.

That's why I posted it. Better everyone knows about it up front and just logs in once every 6 months to avoid it.

People have retrieved up to 80%+ back.

I've been assured several times the e-mails do go out.

I agree the policy needs drastic changes, but until those changes happen, the most important thing we can do is make sure people are aware and keep out of trouble in the first place.


Always a monthly reload code.

Are you on 888 or an affiliate?

Any one else having this problem?

The cashier popping up everytime is a bug for a very small percentage of people which should be fixed in the next update.

I'll check but I don't think so.

I luv this site....I only deposited to pay into apat...turned my remaining $10 into $700.....I'm hooked....I have issues....but I can live with them.....good work 888

888Rep, please respond to this thread, thanks;

Until this policy is changed, I will never play on this site. I recommend no one else do so either.

Have to agree. I've been looking to sign up at another site and was looking at 888, then I saw this thread about 10% of rolls being taken as an "administrative fee", lol that is absolutely laughable.

up front would be posting ITT voluntarily rather than having to be asked.

up front would be posting it on your websites main page, not buried in the term & condition.

can you periodically change your screename on 888 like on cake/party?

Hey im planing on moving to 888 network and i found this thread very helpful. So what is the best place to play there ? Wich site gives the best offers ? Are there any special offers ? If yes could some one msg me with the best possible offers ??? Thank you

+1. Please respond.

888 should understand that such a policy makes recreational players less interested in playing on the site and is detrimental to its reputation, ref the reactions when people "find out" about this is done. Besides, costs of administration of online accounts is in reality 0 or very close to it, so to tech-savvy people this simply seems greedy and unreliable.

This is pretty bad, especially considering the high rake. With the high rake I would expect some megarewards not a well below industry average.

Some of those %'s are pretty insulting.

I thought this post by davmcg:

about a Manager's post in 888's own forum:

summed up the incredibly unfair policy, highlighted by the OP of the subject thread in July 2008 when he wrote:

"... This february I logged into my account at Pacific Poker for the first time in little over a year. When I logged off in January 2007, my balance was $5,603. When I returned, the balance was $2,241 ..."

Numerous promises to change the policy to something more reasonable have been made over the past three years, but none have been fulfilled.
