Ignoring the irony of pot/kettle in your post, he's moaning about lack of rakeback. The objective of poker is to take money from your opponents, not to break even and benefit from promotions. Some of us actually like having a playing environment where you don't have nitregs timing out every ****ing hand because they're playing 4865 tables simply trying not to lose.

So less rake is better.

Good one, and thanks for explaining the objective of poker to us. Jesus you post some drivel, all in order to sound superior.

I have made many a post here slagging 888 off (deservedly in my books) but I would like to point out some positives that have improved the player volumes at my preferred games.

I actually swore off the site for good after rakeback and bonuses were reduced to a hollow, worthless scam. Thankfully, somebody saw sense and removed the impossible clearing conditions that meant a bonus could not actually be redeemed unless you lost your entire role. Hand of the day bonuses are available almost instantly and the 10% rakeback deal for PLO was also appreciated. This has seen the player volumes triple at least from what I see and the games are good and juicy.

I could see room for further improvement. My next bonus level (271 = a lot of loyalty) takes 9 days to clear and is worth $5 at best. That is very poor compared to your competitors. Unlike other posters, I see rakeback and rewards as purely a good thing and are key to your player volume.

+ speed up your withdrawl process. 4 days and a withdrawl to my credit card that could be instantaneous, has not happened.

Anyway, some credit where it is due. I can use a HUD and access juicy low stakes PLO games again which is the main thing for me.

I left the site for nearly a year. I am sure there were lots of changes in that time. I am not sure about any recent changes.

Is this only happening to a few players or all/most of the players?

We paused all tournaments once the disconnections started. They have now been resumed as all is back to normal. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi,

This Sunday we have our Sunday sale promotion! 3 of our major Sunday tournaments will have their buy-in cut in half but the guarantee stay the same.
This is a great opportunity to take a shot and score big from a (relatively) small investment.
The tournaments are (GMT times):

17:00 $25,000 Sunday Sale Big Shot ($27.50 buy-in instead of $55)

18:00 $150,000 Sunday Sale Main Event ($55 buy-in instead of $109)

18:30 $50,000 Sunday Sale High Roller ($265 buy-in instead of $525)

Good luck!

Good to hear that your thinking of others than urself, and letting everyone know the objective of poker from your side of view that's really important for all to know (SIGH).

Rakeback is one of the most discussed subjects in every poker forum and clubs, ignoring it is just for special persons and people getting sponsored the rest 99.9% of players do think of rakeback.

Hi, so today after like more than 30 days of playing everyday I hit the 777 on the weel and get 10$ casino freeplay.

Then when I go play the casino game I can see my own money going down as I place my bet.

If you followed my posts before, you know it is an understatement that I expected it to be complicated.

Could you please help me to use the 10$ freeplay casino bonus ? Even tough I understand I'll have to gamble it many times before I have a chance to withdraw. I would still like to try my chance. What I mean is using the bonus they say I won. Nothing more. But without my money going down when I go to the casino section.

Thank you very much. As I said it is an understatement that I expected it to go wrong.

And they say the bonus is valid for 14 days so hopefully there is a solution. This site really sucks

Hi, I think there is a misunderstanding.

What I mean is I won a freeplay bonus. So it's not the bonus that is only valid after my account goes to zero.

It is the one we should be able to use.

So about this bonus that we should be able to use, when I go to the casino section and I can see I would be gambling with my money but not with the bonus.

Thank you!

Aaah... forget it I see it is written in small that the wager is made using my money first. So even tough it said I won 5$ freeplay it is ''my mistake'' that I did not read properly what was written small. Still. **** 888 !

So yeah... my bonus was made using my money because I did not lose my money... This is really a scumbag site.

Look it's been like 5 minutes I try to sit any table from 30NL to 500NL and it says I can't 'because this seat is already occupied...'' and it's not even true !!!!! Sometimes they are even two seats available.
