Hi guys this is my first post here, i am a new member on 2+2 forums.

888rep the reason for the ban is that pacific don`t like that people see the amount of cheaters that are in the poker tables, which is clearly seen through statistics provided by sharkscope.

Grettings.

888 blocks Sharkscope. For all features. Not even opt in.

Remarkably brash move by 888.

Reading between the lines version of 888s release

"You find collusion on our site and we want to ignore it. We figured the best way to throw a big blanket over this and keep in it the dark was to block sharkscope. This way we can keep making money, do nothing and there is no effective way for you to prove anything too untoward is going on....Thanks"

Unreal.

Why would they do this after 7 years?

The motives are scary

does 888 offers reload bonus often/when you ask support for one ?

Im quitting party soon and looking for a new place to play on.
However im not playing on there without bonuses running. I mean with the 4$ rake, jackpot tax and this meh loyalty program, no way im playing there without bonus

Anyway if they offer often or if the 888 rep can offer me something, im open

Never a bonus on, plenty of freerolls you can play

SS and ptp have been helpful a number of times.

A couple of older examples found.

btw SharkScope donates a very useful annual subscription to 2+2 Marketplace and xfer thread mods.

ptp used to help out but have refused lately

They seem to be rarer than a decent promotion at Party these days. Always get a popup about an additional reload bonus whenever I open the cashier, though last time I responded to it their customer service rep told me I'd need to deposit an additional $23k to be eligible for one!!

6 - 7 months ago I emailed 888 for the first time regarding their uneven table splits at the final two tables of mutlitable tournaments.

This happened often (back in december/january) and I emailed this screen shot in January along with an email requesting the bug be fixed:

Hi,

Attached is a screen shot from tonights $5.50 tournament $1200 guaranteed. There are 10 players left, and the tables have been uneven for the whole hand-for-hand process...The table I am at is paying blinds more per person than the other table.

This is unfair, as you can see another player from the other table agrees.

Matt"

I received the following email in response:

" Response Via Email (Xavier C.) 14/12/2012 06.47 PM
Dear Matt,

Thank you for contacting us. My name is Xavier and I am writing to you on behalf of the Manager.

I have reviewed your game history and can see that the tables did indeed split up in a 6/4 pattern as opposed to a 5/5 pattern that you would normally expect- I do apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and I have passed your feedback on to our software developers.

This behaviour will be remedied in an upcoming version of 888poker and I thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

If you require any further assistance with this or any other matter, please feel free to contact us.

Kind regards,

Xavier C.
Management Support Representative"

I have emailed 888 three more times since this incident, and the uneven table splits continue 7 months later.

Last night I was again at the final two tables of the $1200 deep stack, 4.5 - 5 hours into the tournament, and had to yet again deal with uneven 6/4 table split during the hand for hand process for 10+ hands:

<a href="http://www.freewebproxy.com/"><img src="http://www.*********************/newuploads/oiiov.jpg" alt="Free Web Proxy"></a>

How can I email 888 about this four times over a period of 7 months and still have to put up with it? It is very simple to fix, clearly 888 do not care about their customers.

I certainly will not be returning there unless I get some compensation for the piss around and a guarantee that this will not happen again.

Also, wherever your image was hosted is a site blocked by 2+2, so use imgur or photobucket or imageshack etc.

I'm going to move this to Internet Poker.

If you redeposit frequently you are going to get instant bonusses. but as a regular, who technically takes money off the site, they dont give a ****.

We understand your concerns but we do want to make it clear that we've been working with skins on the 888 network for many years and in that time have never heard anything to suggest that their game security team and the network's integrity is anything other than excellent. We have no doubts that the loss of the collusion detection abilities of Sharkscope is just a side effect of their decision to prevent us showing player statistics.

That said, even the best security teams can't catch everything. More eyes with real data will only ever help with the problem and provide
an additional deterrent to it in the first place. These Sharkscope features have been used many many times over the years publicly and behind the scenes to catch collusion and even money laundering through chip dumping. We provide independent play records that help reduce fraud during player transfers and in staking arrangements. We continue to believe the loss of these features is a tangible loss to the poker community as a whole and not only just our users.

Do you plan to implant new MTTs in your schedule?
I personally would love higher buy ins webcam tournaments, and more deepstacks and less super KO/KOs.

SS declined their request to add a new player stat to the database re: eggs/tomato/whatever thrown by/at so got canned.

I can understand why because it feels like their whole freaking population is sitting in on 888 tables donking it. Move will restore national GDP ldo.

I don't know if it's mentioned before, but I stack and I hate having tables pop automatically; I want to get there on my own.

However, even if I uncheck the option to have the table pop up when it's my turn, it keeps popping up. IT MAKES ME LIVID!

I hope I am missing something, but if not, for God's sake, FIX IT!

Stack and tile software works well with 888 fwiw.

@888rep - i like it topic (non-datamining on sharkscope)

make it more backtotheroots'like as players only had their own eyes and brains

---

but for other players.. a opt-in-method like stars would be a great alternative... - money-transfer method is given..

question is if its easy to handle.. increasing office work.. etc pp..

You could try the HEM free trial and find out.............................

So ******ed by 888 to ban sharkscope. Gonna email asking them to change, if not il move to stars. ******s

Sent from my HTC Desire S using 2+2 Forums

software lagging really bad

Anybody know how I can change it so that the client launches with Firefox and not IE?

I think you can't.

200nl lobby is ridiculous right now.

Ok wtf is going on atm? Just a bunch of people sitting, snap sitting out when a new table is spawned. Pretty much impossible to start tables atm, never seen anything like this at MSNL before.
