Are you ever going to fix this? If no maybe inform us now so we can just take out money and go somewhere else.

Withdrawing to Skrill gone for good or just some temporary issues?

FYI, I did a wire transfer withdrawal last week and got the money on time. The skrill issue might actually be legitimate.

How could it be if they have no problem in taking your money, but fail to honor their part?

Thursday i asked live chat what the cause of the delay is and they said that everything is fine and that i have nothing to worry about. I think i even have the transcript of the chat. For 2 days i couldn`t even reverse the withdrawal and the money where clearly not going to be processed.

Hi, a few questions for 888rep,

-Why is it that after so much time you people still don't display the player count on the lobby? What the hell is up with that? U don't know how many players r there? Is our money safe there then?

-How come your software is so glitchy that i barely can finish a game, and when I don't, I have 50% chance of losing without refund.

-To make your site more competitive don't u think it would help to rebrand it a bit, like party did not long ago, i dont mean changing the name, but changing the lobby looks, changing the dumb slogan and providing bigger offer of games, how do u want to compete with stars with this? Is online poker that little profitable, what the hell r u doing to the money, TRY INVESTING IN YOUR BUSINESS FOR A CHANGE

-And lastly how is it that u still don't have an easy access to support through email on your lobby, u only display a phone number on your cashier I believe, do u really think that im gonna do an international call to get support, in what century r u on, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, THIS IS NOT WORKING!!!

888rep WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU

This is the biggest crisis in 888's history. Communicate with your customers. Do you want to continue to rise as the #2 site or do you want to go the way of Partypoker? This could be the start of a death spiral for 888. This is important. Everyone in this thread wants 888 to succeed. We want to be able to play poker on your site with confidence.

For every person that posts here another ten or hundred lurk wondering the same things.

Im not playing anymore until u put skrill back on Im not gonna waste time playing to possibly not even see my money again. Btw the disconnections dont happen in aus and new zealand alone, portugal and uk at least, have the same problem. It's failing everywhere

...yet still number 2 on Pokerscout. State of online poker is grim.

They have 200 cash players above Ipoker so it`s not like there is any huge gap.

Also, it doesn`t really matter on what position they are. Having their site constantly crash for the last 9-10 days costed them a lot.

The fact that they took Skrill out of the withdrawal options is a lot more worrying than the crashes.

I feel for the guys depending on this site. The situation is grim right now with online poker sites, there is not alot of choice out there.

That`s good to hear - just another reason to acknowledge that this is not a problem from Skrill but 888 blocking withdrawals.

Also another skin has reported not to have Skrill available either, but depositing still works.

Stars and FTP are great options. So is the bitcoin poker site SealswithClubs. I thought most people who could get on 888 could also get on Stars. 888 has very high rake and a horrible VIP program anyway.

They can't run their servers properly, just leave immediately and vote with your feet. No skin off my back.

What kind of problem? Temporary or it will be no longer available?
[888poker] (ROW) Official Players' Thread Quote

Yes, i think draft and wire are the only options left atm but i haven't used any to deposit and this is going to delay the process once more and also pay exchange fees and then wait some more until my bank accepts the draft.

Official standpoint about Skrill cashouts would be nice.

I play on LuckyAce too and there is, like on 888, no Skrill for cashouts available.
