There are several poker operator companies ('skins') on the 888 network, and it's allowed to have many accounts on the network (not more than one account skin, though). Each of those regs has probably made an account with yet another skin.

For some reason, that list doesn't include SnapCallPoker (whereas the list in the license tab of 888Caption does include it). I wonder if any of the readers of this thread knows if SnapCall accepts players outside of Asia.

Anyway, it's hard for someone who doesn't know Korean to even sign up there because the site has no English language version. And the site is maintained very poorly, e.g. the VIP rewards page there describes the pre-March version of the standard VIP program of the network (i.e. direct rakeback up to 18%), whereas I reckon that SnapCall's current VIP program is necessarily the same (with levels awarded for lifetime activity) as at 888 (except that scratch cards are available only at the 888poker skin, not elsewhere on the network).

I disagree with this. Although I normally hate popups, this is good for everyone. When rec. players see that someone has won a jackpot, it might get them a little bit excited and put some gamble into them...which can translate to the poker table.

Guys, quick story for you about 888 Casino Freeplay bonus and tips how it works:

1) I've cleared 5 levels and recieve scratch card with 60 usd casino free play
2) Went to casino, clicked on "use my 60 usd free play" button and played slots.
3) I won 25 bucks there. And they were added to my casino bankroll. So for this moment my poker bankroll is X usd and my casino bankroll is X+25 usd
4) Then, ive noticed that i can play for these 25 bucks in casino games without any consequences for my poker bankroll. In my bonus section i saw the following:
- 888 Casino -> Resctricted: 25.00 USD
5) Per 888 T&C i have to wager 250.00 usd on casino games to release these 25 bucks. Which is almost unreal. Lol 888?
6) But anyway, its just free money and free gamble. So i put these 25.00usd into slot and OMG ive won about 300.00 usd. To be honest, i was very happy. I was thinking: "well, now i have 300.00usd and it will not be a big problem to wager 250.00usd that i need to get my 25.00usd fully available. At this moment my poker bankroll is X, and my casino bankroll is X+300.
7) I went to 888 support just to clarify how much more i need to wager to get my 25.00usd fully available. In my head i was sure to hear something about "u need to wager 180-200usd". But... they told me that i have to wager 2900.00usd now

Of course this is just absolutely unreal to do.

To resume: If im not wrong there are ZERO chances to get some money from these "Casino Free play" in case if u get lucky.

P.S. On 888 T&C there is info that u can win Jackpot during your "Free Casino play". So if u hit for example 2 Milllion USD Jackpot, u will have to wager 20 Million USD to release it. Do u really think that your clients so dumb?


888 rep,

Your comments are very appreciated. Is there any chance to get my 25.00usd without wagering 2900.00usd?

I have asked support to contact you to let you know where you currently stand regarding the bonus money.
Thanks

Tbh 10x wager in casino games is wery good. It's usually 30x+ in most casinos. You should check allso from tos what is the max for freeplay winnings. Imo it's that 60$ you won. Not that 300$.

Agree but read what happened after that. I'm hoping the part where he needs to wager 3k is a mistake by CS rep.

Its mostly just the romanian players that have changed there name recently ( something to do with 888 making a romanain lobby for them i believe )

But of course you have the russians and belarus players that have multiple aliases

I haven't seen animalfairy for a while (I sometimes open the lobby to check if the reported bots are still around). Anyone else see him or the others?

One of the most clearest cases for the russian bot on 888 is "emptywallett". This is the same bot as all the others from my 888 bot thread. He is still grinding on 888 as I'm writing this post.

Can anyone provide me with datamined hands from February 2016 onwards? I only have hands on him until end of January 2016. I guess that's when I quit playing on 888.

I have 130k hand sample of him and 100% sure he is part of this bot ring.

Last December he/it had good work ethic. At least he stopped for xmas and NYE

Have you tried to reinstall the poker client to see if that corrects this for you.
Please try that and let me know if it works.
Make sure to save your notes first though or you may lose them.

I am totally against bots, but don't you think it is weird to ask datamining publicly in official 888 thread?)

It's as weird as 888 ignoring the bots, scripters and other cheats reported to them.

If you had to pick between players having access to datamined hands or having even more bots in online poker, which one would you pick? It's a reality that sites can't police the games without players' help (and this doesn't apply to 888 only). And I'm fine with that. My only wish is that the sites accept the players' help and take the bot issue seriously.

Regarding datamining in general, as the site can't know if a player is using datamined hands, it shouldn't be against the t&c to have them. They should prevent datamining so that no one can have hands (like Party did, though I don't agree with the anonymizing they did recently).

Already got all the hands on emptywallett and a list of other suspicious accounts so hoping 888 will take a look when I give them the proof.

heh, i finally got the official answer about Freeplay bonus:

Quote: ""Note, your initial bonus of $25,81 generated the winnings of $292,91, however in order to withdrawal the bonus and winnings, you should complete with the wagering requirement, accumulating the required points""

It means that if u won something from ur Freeplay, then won once again - ur withdrawal requirements will increase geometrically.

So the main question: Is there any sense to use these "Freeplay"s ?
