See you at the tables!
If I saw you at the tables I would ***** ***** ***** *****.
And by the way. Does anyone scratch those scratchcards? I don't even think 7 year old kids would scratch them since their weekly allowance is a 100 times more worth than the "presents".

My friend told me that during huge downswing (few thousands) he found 30$ under the scratchcard. You have to believe ))))

For most regs it's just an annoying delay but plenty of fish will bink a jackpot/win a tournament then lose it back. The delay in paying provides the maximum opportunity for that to happen.

Most sites that use a cashout delay have the opportunity to opt-out from it (or you can contact customer services to have them manually push the withdrawal through) - 888 are really shady in this department.
I agree its pretty scummy, probably borderline with gambling commission regulations.

888 already in the bad books with the UKGC with that 8 Million fine

Degens loose their rare win back to 888 and the pro's, hopefully in poker and not the casino games.

All the **** recently with stars is bad, but at least you know your money is safe and can withdraw in 30 seconds.

1: The lack of emphasis on the fact that it's my turn. I can play 16 tables on Stars, but give me 4 tables on 888 and I guarentee that I will keep my opponents waiting because I have no idea it's my turn.
The indicator of whose turn it is (the yellow light in the box) is always on when I have cards. Needs more light or flashing.

2: Remove the pop up after moving tables. Too many buttons to push is only good if your occupation is to treat carpal tunnel syndrome.
Also just got 2(!) pop ups for finishing a tournament in the money. Really not needed, and frankly annoying.

3: Rework the betslider.
-Custom bet sizes on the buttons.
-Scroll on sliderarea should increase 1 sb or 1 bb by option, and area of effect should increase to the predefined buttons and numberbox.
-Let me type in the number/bet box when I'm at the table. Right now, it's not even enough to click in the box. When I do, I can't type or erase. Have to mark a portion of the number to be able to type. Sometimes thats not even enough - seems to not work if you only mark 1 side of the comma.

4: Custom hotkeys. These are very important to avoid wrist-pain to some people when playing several hours a day. (Which is the reason behind several of my suggestion, incl. the betslider)

5: Simple tournament info should be visable on the table (without the need for the massive box you can open). "Your position: x/xx. Places paid: x" is enough. There is plenty of room for it.

6: Ability to auto-close table (and lobby) after busting a tournament. At least then a pop-up would sort of make sense.

Tl;Dr: More options and custom buttons are badly needed.

Please excuse my tone, but I still have tournaments running in the background and the software tilt is getting heavy. The post probably looks like vile on a screen, but I took the time to do it because I want to play on your site. Please allow me to.
Thank you for the good constructive feedback. We should have good news regarding at least one of these requests soon and we will consider the others for future versions.
Thanks

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

THIS WEEK: October 15, 2017


“allesrigged” Claims Mega Deep Title

The $215 buy-in, $100,000 Mega Deep is always one of Sunday’s premiere events, and this week was no exception as 528 players took to the felt and surpassed the guarantee by creating a $105,600 prize pool.

Among those to earn a piece of it were Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovsky (33rd - $559.68), “ProfessorM93” (19th - $865.92), “DuduPa1986” (7th - $2,640), Troy “S.Janowski” Quenneville (5th - $5,280), and XL Eclipse Main Event and Champion of Champions winner “CllsDntMttr” (3rd - $10,771.20).

After 10 hours and 47 minutes, Germany’s “allesrigged” prevailed over Belarus’ “_Antikk_” to win $19,958.40.
James “M4zlTov” Gantz Wins Whale for $44K

The biggest buy-in of the day was the $1,050 Whale, which surpassed its $150K GTD by drawing 114 players who rebought 62 times. That created a $176,000 prize pool that was distributed to the top 15 places including Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff (11th - $4,224), “Madeon1994” (8th - $6,160), “floatmasta” (7th - $7,480), Artem “veeea” Vezhenkov (5th - $11,440), and “MalakiasCF” (3rd - $22,880).

After 8 hours and 35 minutes, Canada’s “INEEDPANTS” fell to Germany’s James “M4zlTov” Gantz, who took home $44,000 for the win.
“Pimmelspeck” Wins Sunday Lightning 6-Max

The $109 buy-in, $20,000 Sunday Lightning 6-Max kicked off the day in style as 163 players rebought 84 times to create a $24,700 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 24 players including “ziigmunk” (20th - $234.65), “FillipeNunes” (12th - $432.25), Artem “veeea” Vezhenkov (5th - $1,605.50), and “__APO__1” (3rd - $3,087.50).

After 8 hours and 5 minutes, Germany’s “Pimmelspeck” bested Sweden’s “Ipoo1” in heads-up play to win $5,928. If you recall, “Pimmelspeck” amassed five cashes during last month’s XL Eclipse, including seventh-place in Event #38: $50,000 Tuesday Challenge for $1,699.75. His last documented win came back on July 11, 2016 when he won the $15,000 Crocodile for $3,937.
“GangstaGo” Earns $36.30 Per Minute in Turbo Mega Deep

The $215 by-in, $40,000 Turbo Mega Deep saw 153 players rebuy 59 times, which created a prize pool of $42,400. The final table was filled with some familiar faces including Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff (9th - $954), “InJeBakkes” (8th - $1,166), XL Eclipse champ “germaxii” (4th - $3,604), and “kissktya23” (3d - $5,088).

After just 254 minutes, Ukraine’s Cristian “GangstaGo” Sampaoli defeated Argentina’s “progree69,” both a XL Inferno and Eclipse champ, in heads-up play to walk away with a $9,222 top prize. On March 3, 2016, “GangstaGo” won the $7,000 Lightning 6-Max for $2,207.
“LaToronja” Wins Swordfish to Go Along with Two Breeze Titles

The $30 buy-in, $25,000 Sunday Deepstack Swordfish attracted 950 players, which surpassed the GTD by creating a $26,125 prize pool. Among the 126 players to get paid were “shippyshippy” (27th - $117.56), “Pyskee86” (17th - $156.75), “Enslow15” (10th - $261.25), and “Dablinov” (5th - $1,316.70).

After 10 hours and 42 minutes, Argentina’s “LaToronja” bested the UK’s “trh16” to win the tournament for $4,702.50. In September 2016, “LaToronja” took down the $6,000 Breeze for $1,518, and more recently he won the $8,000 Breeze back on Januuary 6 for $2,085.

Hello everyone,

By all accounts, the 888Live London Festival, which just wrapped 12 days of poker action at Aspers Casino Westfield, was a massive success.
Not only were the numbers big, both in attendance and prize money, but players were receptive to the introduction of the 888Action Clock, which was implemented smoothly.

I send them few times already and nothing changes, this scumbag keeps camping every single day, sitting out as soon as fish loses his stack and sitting in insta, when fish rebuys.

If you do nothing about it, except sending CTRL+V emails "we will investigate blablabla", what should other players do? Camp 24\7 like sctname and co and turn ur site into a scrapy-yard with 5 people sitting out at table waiting for fish to come?

Sctname does that twaddle every day and no action is taken. EVERY flipping DAY:







Maybe it is time to stop giving a kindlly "buzz off and thank you for report" replies and finally do something?

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

THIS WEEK: October 22, 2017


“BillyBon8” Takes Down New GREAT 8 Title

Our newest tournament, the $88 buy-in, $30,000 GTD Sunday GREAT 8, was played eight handed and started players with 8,888 in chips. The tournament drew 405 players who rebought 177 times, which created a $46,560 prize pool paid out to the top 56 players.

Among those to cash were 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (51st for $186.24), Ivan “ivanascasubi” Vilchez (28th for $311.95), “1LevelAbove” (12th for $758.92), and “rickpereira7” (6th for $1,629.60).

After “vaitodo.pt” bowed out in third place for $4,888.80, Germany’s “SmilleThHero” and Russia’s “BillyBon8” squatted off in heads-up play.
After 11 hours and 14 minutes, the Russian prevailed to take home $8,846.40.

Last November, “BillyBon8” had a good month when he took down the $8,000 Lightning 6-Max for $2,400, and then two days later won the $15,000 Crocodile for $4,050.

“BillyBon8” Also Wins Baby Whale for $23K

The biggest buy-in tournament of the day was the $320 Baby Whale, which surpassed its $100K GTD by attracting 259 players who rebought 119 times. That created a $113,400 prize pool paid out to the top 36 players including “Madeon1994” (36th for $850.50), Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot (24th for $963.90), “JBA888” (11th for $1,814.40).

Some familiar faces as the final table were “DonkMaster99” (9th for $2,154.60), “samuelbt” (6th for $5,103), and Jan “Graftekkel” Arends (3rd for $12,814.20). After 10 hours and 2 minutes, Russia’s “BillyBon8” defeated Sweden’s Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson in heads-up play to win $23,190.30. It marked the second major title of the day for “BillyBon8” after he won the GREAT 8.

UK’s “Octopokes” Becomes Mega Deep Champ

This week’s $215 buy-in Mega Deep drew 462 players, which meant a $100,000 prize pool was on tap for the top 64 finishers. They included Preban “prebzzz” Stokkan (49th for $380), “KURDEdersim” (24th for $870), “kaiser066” (11th for $1,490), “yourpappa” (7th for $2,500), and Kevin “morans350” Gibson (3rd for $10,260).

After 10 hours and 35 minutes, the UK’s “Octopokes” defeated Bulgaria’s Yordan “YordanPetrov” Petrov in heads-up play to win a $19,000 first-place prize.
Back in February, “Octopokes” topped a field of 301 players to win the $10,000 Poker Fiesta for $2,129. In May’s XL Inferno, he nearly captured a title finishing third out of 598 players in
Event #111: $15,000 Swordfish for $1,660.

Former WHALE Champ “JBA888” Claims Crocodile Title

The $160 buy-in $30,000 Sunday Crocodile saw 167 players take to the virtual felt, which meant the top 27 got paid. Among them were “jonimella” (25th for $300), Conor “grandma1954” Beresford (19th for $300), “strangejelly” (13th for $450), “tikkapekka” (7th for $1,200), and “aap037” (3rd for $3,525).

It took 7 hours and 35 minutes, but eventually Costa Rica’s “JBA888” defeated Russia’s “MAMOHT_T” in heads-up play to walk away with a $6,450 first-place prize. Back on September 3, “JBA888” won the $120,000 Whale for $43,645.
“Groggggggggy” Adds Sunday Challenge Title to Résumé

The $109 buy-in, $60,000 GTD Sunday Challenge saw 445 players rebuy 148 times. Some of those to finish in the top 56 and make some money were “BillyBon8” (46th for $270), Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (22nd for $582), and “shag72” (13th for $774).

Both Joao Mathias “joao_mathias” Baumgarten (7th for $1,500) and XL Inferno “germaxii” (3rd for $6,300) were at the final table, but in the end the title came down to the UK’s “nutcracker95” and Mexico’s “Groggggggggy.” After 8 hours and 41 minutes, the latter prevailed and walked away with an $11,400 first-place prize.

“Groggggggggy” now has two “Challenge” titles under his belt. Back on January 17, he topped a field of 321 players to win the $25,000 Tuesday Challenge for $6,230.
What to watch out for:

Hello everyone,

For the most part, poker is a selfish endeavor. Players either win or lose on their own merit. It’s a lonely affair.
Because of this, players tend to come face to face with an existential quandary – what do I have to offer the world?

For many, the answer is philanthropy, and in the poker community, that oftentimes means donating to charity.
https://www.888poker.com/magazine/po...ity-and-poker/
Whether it’s pledging a portion of their winnings, supporting organizations through their play (i.e. Little One for One Drop), or participating in charity events, players have plenty of opportunities to make a difference.

888poker and Chad Holloway go through major charity events within the poker world here.
