Was considering giving 888 a go and make use of the $88 free promotion, which apparently doesn't work as it is described.
Had the following chat with the 888 rep:
You are now chatting with 'Dana.A'
you: Hi
Dana.A: Hello xxxxx
Dana.A: How are you today /
Dana.A: ?
you: How do I get the starting bonus of $88?
Dana.A: that bonus is granted by e-mail in max 24 hours and you will start with 2$ cash and 6 x 1$ tournament tickets
Dana.A: and each 250 points accumulated by playing poker will grant you another 2$ cash and 6 tickets
you: the promotion mentions $88 Free
Dana.A: correct
Dana.A: and you have 11 chunks of 8$(2$ cash and 6 x 1$ tournament tickets ) for every 250 points accumulated
you: that is not how it is mentioned
Dana.A: it is mentioned to register and get 88$
Dana.A: however no one bother to read the terms and conditions
you: then you should not mention: "Yep, we’re giving away $88 absolutely FREE to all new players. No deposit needed. Simply join 888poker using a valid email address, check your inbox and you will get $88 in your bankroll to play with. Hurry, offer is for a limited time only! "
you: $88 in your bankroll is not the same as $1 tickets..
Dana.A: xxxxx we cannot just give 88$ instant cash bonus to all members who register
you: Well then don't mention it like that
Dana.A: xxxxx if you want instant cash bonus I do have it ready for you to claim on top of the welcome bonus for your first deposit
