-Your reward freerolls were not R&A
-6max 2NL were 100 BB's (the only level that is 50BB, that's descrimination xD)
-some tourneys without Late Reg (I don't know if they exist already or not
-SNG Full ring super turbo would be nice
-check if RNG is okay, I'm getting badbeaten a lot (it's a small sample tho, so it's probably just bad luck)

Yeah I agree, the microstakes rake is extremely high nad rakeback is disgustingly bad but it doesn't look like 888 has any plans of changing it.

888Rep, any chance I can get a reload bonus? I stupidly made a first deposit of 20$ a few months ago and have since been playing without the help of a first deposit bonus.

You could try calling them and asking. If you go into the cashier there should be a pop up with a support rep and they usually offer a bonus to depositers so you can also try that.

Step 1 satellites at a paltry 1¢ buy-in and go all the way to the $1,050 qualifier where you can win your $15,000 WSOP Main Event package. This year, the WSOP satellites will have a ticketing system, where you can win as many tickets as you want to the next step and choose when you want to play that step.
  • The $15,000 WSOP Vegas Main event package includes the following:
  • 6 nights (3-9 July) at the luxurious Palazzo Hotel Las Vegas
  • $10,000 WSOP Vegas Main Event buy-in
  • $1,500 towards travel expenses (paid directly to players’ 888poker account)
  • $500 spending money (paid directly to players’ account)
  • Exclusive welcome party and 4th July event
  • 888live poker kit

Alternating Sundays (10:05 or 20:05 GMT -check the tournament lobby), you can get straight to business with a $1,050 qualifier or work your way to the top via the daily ongoing step satellites. For the mathematicians out there it is an estimated 1,000,000,000 to 1 return should you go on to win the Main Event from a 1¢ satellite –so, it is definitely worth a go peeps.

See satellite structure below and good luck to ALL!



Click here for terms and conditions.
According to this package accommodation at the palazzo is being valued at $500 per night. A quick check online reveals that a standard "luxury suite" from 3rd-9th July costs $296pn including all taxes and fees. I could only find one room - the "sienna suite" which cost over $500pn. (This is without any promo codes.)

How is this valuation justified?

Be realistic. Party and live event kit also costs money. 3000$ is party + live event kit + hotel

After searching this forum, it seems CANADIANS best banking option is bank wires? Can somebody confirm this please? I hope Ecopayz is added soon.

lol by offer a bonus you mean offer losing players a bonus and tease regs saying "you cant get a bonus this time, but if you deposit this time it may open up future opportunities"


im in my last sng of the day with the chip lead when my internet goes out for 1 minute, this is long enough that i get kicked from 888, i go to re-open the site and apparently there is now an update i have to download, and its just like the last one that takes FOREVER to download (talking hours here) and im gonna guess by the time i get back on the guy wont still be waiting for me


why does it take 4 hours to download an update? last time i waited for 2 hours and thought something was wrong and reinstalled and lost my notes

Hi. This is only my second upgrade since being on 888, but is the server back on right now, meaning should I reinstall the software and lose my notes again or simply wait?

This is what keeps 888 as the best site to play at on IMO. Even if you aren't getting any kind of bonus straight into your account, I'm sure you are benefitting highly from this process if you are a withdrawal only type of player.

There's no need to lose notes when upgrading...

Save the playernotes.ini somewhere else and replace it after the upgrade.
Or open the original file in notepad and copy-paste the notes into the newly created file.

Bonus-tip, w/ HM2, Excel and notepad it's pretty damn easy to have ERRY 888-player that exist in ur db color-coded / tagged as a rec or a reg (based on their VPIP for example) w/ just a few clicks.

Well, simply downloaded 888 without deleting the old version and somehow worked without losing my notes.

The upgrade should only take a few minutes guys.

notes are at the same place as the hand history. Just copy the whole folder before reinstall.

Ok so let's say $100 for the party + "live event kit". That still leaves a difference of $1.1K.

I don't have a problem with the site choosing a lavish hotel (although I would prefer, like about 80% of people according to a poll on twoplustwo, to have a cheaper hotel and higher % chance of winning a package). I don't have a problem with the site not passing on any of the group booking discount they get. They are a business after all. I don't have a problem with the rate the site uses not being the best rate that one could find by looking at price comparison sites or searching for voucher codes. What I do have a problem with is the site charging more than the standard price that is available on the hotel's own website.

If people decide to enter a $1000+50 sat paying 1 package per $15K in the prize pool I think it is realistic to expect that all of the $15K is accounted for. Would the 888 rep care to comment?

Good that you notice. I would be curious as well as to why they are seemingly putting money in their pockets from this package...

All I can do is to send your feedback over to the promotions team, can you please supply me with your 888poker user name first, thanks.
