I've withdrawn most of my br today, and it takes a week or so for it to hit your bank account right? When I change my card, I'm going to test out a min withdrawal to see what happens, and then if that works, I guess I'll start grinding up again. It's not ideal, because this could take 20 days to figure out!

Ok, how about:

raked rebuys and raked addons?
Tourneys like 6.80$+0.70$ - more than 10% rake on a small stakes MTT?
4% rakeback for silver players (= rake 250$ a month)and levels above have also very low rakeback.
4$ rakecap at cash-tables.

Completely agree!

I'm okay in general, that 888 reduced the max. amount of tables, that can be opened to 8. But why, why on old soft you have reduced it to 4 tables ? Why can't it be the same as the new has (8). Can anyone give me an adequate answer for that?
I've been happy with playing the old soft and never liked the new one.

And regarding that, if anyone can help me. Why after updating soft, my hem dosen't track hands from all tables, also on those tables it dosen't display HUD ?

they just want to force u stop using the old soft

regarding your question, at some point there was some change which made older table manager/hem incompatible with the new version of pac software, I kept using the old table manager and had the problem solved but then again, there was some bug with databases and HEM was fixed-but afterwards it was totally incompatible at least for me
so u need the newest hem and table manager, should wrk.

And thank u 888 for the amazing changes, i can see so much fish rigt now its almost unbelievable.

There needs to be something done with deposits using Moneybookers just deposited 200$ but because of all the euro to USD exchange I paid actually 213$

Why is there a need for those euros?

If your moneybookers is in USD and your 888 account is in USD I dont see how you have to pay exchange rate fees to be honest.

I applaud the move to reduce the number of tables an individual can play.

It can only make for better games and make these 18/16 mass tabling nits open up a little if they want to maintain their bonus boosted hourlies.

Reducing to 6 tables max would be even better!

Today I misclicked on 888 software. Then a message saying there is a new update appears. "Click ok to accept the update" or something like that. I then close the message and 5 seconds after the update install itself and opens the program...

Having bad experiences with Luckyace poker. Made a sizeable deposit a little over a week ago. As soon as I desposited, they blocked my account and asked to send ID. I'm used to the ID checks so I already had a copy that I sent right away. 5 days pass and no answer back. So I emal support and ask them why it's taking so long. 2 days later they respond with a one liner saying "were going to take as long as we need to"... I was polite in my email, so I have no idea why they are being rude.

I feel it shows bad integrity to only block my account the second after I deposit, than basically hold my deposit hostage until they feel like getting around to me. To not even give me a polite response as to when they will activate my account, shows terrible customer service. The second they release my deposit, is the second I widthdraw it now.

I've voiced our opinions and feedback. They'll take it under consideration.



Didn't see a question. Maybe I'm being slow and missed it. I'll check for a third time after I post this.



Hopefully softer games is the result.



Is anyone still having issues? I didn't get any notification about downtime, and it was working all day on my end (Canada). Let me know if you're still having problems.

Fire an e-mail to support - support@888poker.com if you were unable to play in any of the MTT's you were reg'd in.
Hi actually having lots of problems still

After a lenghty chat with live support i was offered half of the buyins back.

I was lied to and told i played in the remaining mtts. I asked for game log which was sent and showed i was not active and on the site.

I mailed support direct and was told it had been verified that it was a issue with my provider.

Again this is basically a lie, i was playing 3 other sites and could connect to the web fine.

In total i am only owed 67$ but its the principle of being lied to and treated badly.

I am a reg on the site with over 10K in my account, so god knows how a casual player is treated.

Now i am actually with lucky ace not 888. I think it might just be this skin.
Are all skins run by the same support? Or do u have individual support teams etc?
If i switch skin and move my 10k across to 888, is there any bonus/RB that i can get?

Lastly could you tell me who the gaming licience authority is for the network as i am going to complain to them about luckyace, also do you know a contact at the actual network?

Thx and its nice you have a thread here

This is a post from 888 rep back in September. So looks like Lucky Ace and 888 are two different companies and have two totally different support teams.

If 18/16 is a nit, you're talking about 6max, right?

Mr 888 rep, I would also like to know who licenses 888, as I couldn't find it on the website. Mostly just curious and hoping it's not Alderney

I really like that 888 made the revolutionary step to the table cap of 8. Very long-sighted view on the poker market and the poker ecosystem! Most other rooms are just maximizing short-term profit.

I will reward this business decision with my first deposit on 888!

omg.. Tournaments are also capped to max 8 ?

I cant even play 9 sng's at same time?

if true, this SUCKS

tournaments shouldn't be capped in the same way as cash games imo

Ok hang on.. I might in fact be wrong here. I made the assumption made on number of tables I could observe in a runnin tournament. that was 8 of them.
It seems like its still possible to open 8 tournaments and 8 cashgames. didnt try with that exact ammount but I tried with 8 cashgames and 4 tournaments and that seems to be workin..

so not chaos after all..

I'm not too familiar with Debit Card deposits, I'll talk with someone first thing Monday morning and get a clear answer so there's no confusion, rather than making an assumption and being wrong.

Now with the change, I'm capped at 8 tables. So if there are 8 games going I'd join all the tables, and once they are filled well tough luck. I'm unable to start any new games. Is this really good for the casual players? I very rarely see casual players start tables or join waiting lists. So this might not be all too good for the fish, as there will be less regs starting tables as they are unable to have more tables open.


888Rep, I don't mean to complain too much. Obv you guys do a lot of good too, and I'm happy to see that the traffic has increased in the last year. One thing which annoys me pretty much is the pause between each hand in the jackpot tables. This is especially annoying if I start a table, since there is a delay between each hand since the software asks if we want to play it (and I don't even think you can play the jackpot heads-up). So if you for instance made it so that after you have folded you'd be ask if you want to participate then there there wouldn't me a pointless delay between hands. At the minimum you could remove the option when HU as it really slows the game down.

Also, when your management gets new ideas how to drastically change the games, couldn't you post in advance here and ask for players feedback? Just seems so sad that you have a good channel to communicate to the people who play the most at your site and instead we just need to be shocked when we log in.

Thanks for the feedback. I imagine they took into account that regulars wouldn't be able to start new tables once capped at 8.

I'll mention to support that we could improve the Jackpot tables specifically for HU.

I actually ran a 100k Freeroll for 2+2 guys in this thread with seats. We only had 6 people register. I don't think they were too happy. I am however always on the lookout for things I can do for you though, and did just send a proposal on Friday for an idea.

I've been lead to believe this is true. It's prudent to double check your 888 currency.

I'm sorry you're having issues mate, but as has been mentioned LA support is a separate entity entirely. If I could try and expedite the process, I would.
