Make sure that all transactions with 888 are in USD. If your "default" currency on 888 is something other than USD, you can contact them and they will change it. I use Skrill to convert between my home currency and USD, or you can let your financial institution do the exchange for you since you're always transferring USD.

It doesn't solve the 1-time problem of what rate they'll use when they buy-in for you for a live event. But what's the big deal? If I wired 320 USD to the casino, I wouldn't expect a good exchange rate and I'd have the transaction fee on top to that.

888rep,

Need your help/suggestions on linking my Skrill and 888 account in the same currency. My current Skrill account is in CAD, and I could've sworn I set my 888 account to settle in CAD as well. At some point it got changed to USD somehow though.

I also just reached Silver VIP on Skrill, which enabled me to open a second Skrill account in USD. I'd prefer to link my new USD skrill to my 888 account, is that possible?

I just want to not get raped by FX fees whenever I deposit and withdraw. Let me know what I can do, thanks.

If withdrawals from 888 are already in USD, all you have to do is contact 888 and have them change your registered email address to the one you're using for your Skrill USD account.

this is a real joke so far...

I guess a passport photocopy with every information visible signed by a notary isnt enough for 888.

As a loyal and frequent player on 888poker for years now, I'd just like to show my discontent regarding your recent decision to stop allowing sharkscope to track your games.

I understand you want to protect the privacy of your players, however Pokerstars did thesame and they allowed people to Opt in if they did choose to show their statistics.

I dont understand how this would be a problem for anyone, now you're just limiting the players that do want to use their own sharkscope.

also as a backer it's a big problem and have stopt backing my horses for 888.
If there would be an opt in system I would let them play again. There is no reason not to implement an opt-in system, please change this.

I have made a script to get the lobby return to normal state after opening a table, however the lobby sometimes starts to look like this:

I am using ShowWindow() in user32.dll and 20ms later I call SetForegroundWindow() in user32.dll.

888Rep, could some devs look at this or maybe implement it in the client?

The last couple of days have erased any doubt whatsoever in my head that limiting tables to a maximum of 6 is a good idea.

There is only so many tables Y4ITEL and the other scumbags can block. Just wish the tables spawned quicker or heaven forbid, 888 actually reprimanded all the player that take part in that behavior.

FYP

Please stop blaming users for gaining advantages in ways that are allowed by the software.

Had some very horrible disconnect issues today while playing sng's. Oddly enough, seemed like this affected all the regs at the tables, while the fish were still playing and connected.. Odd coincidence.

i have a question about the leaderboard. on the picture it shows the last update was aug 8 12:00am and that is the time the promo should start. why do some players have some points allready? and one has 4787, which is very much?



because i am from europe i did not know exactly what 12:00am is, but as you can see on the second picture it is the same as 00:00 the beginning of the day.

It started at 00:00 GMT. At least that's when the countdown to the beginning of the promotion ended.

i know, but 00:00 GMT should be the same as 12:00 am. at least that is what wikepedia says. so the last update of the leaderboard was at the beginning of the challenge so everyone should have 0 points.

even if they mean noon by 12:00 am , i would like to know how the points are calculated and i think it is still wrong then...
