Yeah getting this too. I'm hardwired in and seems like that might be the issue - they want wifi signals

Looks like you're right; it's working on my laptop but not desktop. That's going to have to be something they address and fix because there are people who don't have wifi available or simply won't bother to try/get it working and will go elsewhere.

I'm getting that wifi bs too, also am hardwired to my desktop. How is it my problem that you can't verify my location?

I still have all my gold tokens [which are absolutely worthless anyway]

Shoulda withdrew before April 4th but I didn't think it'd be this much of a hassle. Absolute trash, I wanna withdraw but they only offer Wire Transfer right now, just a absolute fail from 888

Afternoon Traffic on 888
3 players at 5nl
6 players at 25nl
3 players at 100nl
1 hu challenger at 200nl

better then yesterday!

What a bad launch by 888! Why would they design the location verification around WIFI only?

You can drop down and change wire to E-Transfer. I haven't tried to withdrawal yet thought.

Are you seeing multiple cashout methods? Mine doesn't allow me any other options than the Wire Transfer. It used to before the merge [muchbetter/etrans/etc...]

idk why your all complaining with the shitty launch i binked their 215 and 109 with like insane overlays

Just checked again and i'm able to change the payout method to E-Transfer. Maybe its because i made a deposit via E-Transfer on the 4th.

Welp, back to BC for me. Ont is kinda a shithole ngl

Either a handful of players are going buck wild on the new 888 Ontario platform playing 18-24 hours a day or there's still a problem with bots on the new platform.

What are you talking about? There's never been more than like 50 players total at cash games online at once

their not bots I been talking to them in chat. its just only a couple people playing every mtt because the overlays are insane. its like pre blackfriday poker as well. did you get verified on 888? it was not easy how would a legion of bots get ontario driver licenses and canadian bank accounts gtfo here

I would get used to it, they aren't going to change that.

You can get one of those wifi adapters for your desktop for under 10 bucks. You dont even need to connect to it, your computer just needs to be able to see a few signals around you.

We've been through this already on the US regulated sites. The wifi location system makes it so players cant just use a vpn to get a canadian ip and be good to go.

Thank you for this concise explanation , the company themselves should make this way more clear to their customers

Government always makes things worse for everyone not in government.

do you have your location on? 'Wifi' signals don't matter, they need your GPS location.

pokerstars might have had their license declined or said f it because they are not listed as a pending license. does anyone know if 888 or party that went live jacked the rake up?

They're going to have to or lose out on a lot of customers. I'm all good but plenty of people won't bother even trying to get it to work; they'll just play elsewhere.

You can still use a VPN.

Exactly.

I turned on my location on my PC and I bought this from my local electronics store for $10 and it worked, I can play on the tables now.

Yep same re:wifi adapter

link to pending list? I only see the list of approved sites

admittedly find it very hard to believe Stars would either be rejected or withdraw their application when their entire strategy in recent years was making sure they did nothing to jeopardize entry in to future legally regulated markets (namely the US)

my browser won't let me compare to the .com/.eu rake on 888 but here is the listed rake for the different stakes on 888.ca for ON

The one that stands out to me is the following one for NL and PL games



a $4 rake cap for < 100nl 6m games seems insanely high?!

capping 100nl at 4bb's and 200nl at 2bb is high but w/e

My plo friend said hes paying a couple more bb/100 then on ggpoker (like 10%?) which is not a good sign since gg has preflop rake and at least has rakeback. I think you saw the same list as me but the important part is pokerstars is not on the pending list. https://canadagamingreview.com/news/...cense-pending/. I pmed their support to ask if the rake is the same as advertised because it seems to me they just copy pasted the rake and it might have even changed. If you look in that link you posted which ive seen it mentions a badbeat jackpot but i think thats only in the global pool so you gotta wonder how much effort went into this.

I just saw there is a story about stars yesterday on pokerfuse its probably a fake list https://pokerfuse.com/news/poker-roo...e-poker-scoop/ only more qeustions no answers

Also the micro rake seems insane but if the rake is listed the mid stakes are not that much worse then other sites but they have no rakeback i think soo.... I wouldnt play cash here im having fun winning their daily 10k garanteed tourney with 5k overlay tho im up 6k on 888 but I still haven't had the want to dust off some money vs Canadian fish with these rakes.

mlse partnered with pokerstars so they must be pretty confident
