I don't even play that much and easily rake $30k/year. Software should be flawless... there is no excuse.


Btw went back a few pages and can;t see bonus code for Dec, is there still one?

I also couldn't find a bonus code for December. The old one seems to not be working.

Mr. 888 Rep, any chance to get a new one?

They just asked me to complete a survey, because they want to "make my 888poker experience the best ever!"
In the final question I can write additional comments or ideas. Here's what I wrote:
memorizing table layout
faster lobby update
higher rakeback
table focus stealing
once a tournament is over, I don't want it to ask me if I want to play another one
list of tournament tickets I have
option to set maximum buy in limits
if I click on "tile tables" it shouldn't mess up the order

What did I miss? I know the waiting list bug, but I don't play much cash, and don't table select so that doesn't really affects me.

there is a bug,when you can change your seating positioning at any time if there is an empty seat, it doesn't change your position to the original one, it changes it to the one you choose lol,

There should be an option to filter out not only full tables but also tables with people in wait lists. I constantly open seemingly available tables only to find out that all seats are reserved.

add a friend, search feature, search friend feature,make tiling more user friendly , uncram all the icons on the tables so that when I use HEM2 i have some space between HUD's as you see pokerstars tables are very clean and spacious maybe adopt a similar strategy, Give us the option to remove chat completely and give us more space for table seats.Make 45 mans/90 mans/180 mans,

Any canadians on here still have Littlewoods accounts after the move? Just wondering how you manage your cashouts?

Never used moneybookers but seems this is the only cashout option for us. I'm considering opening my moneybookers account in GBP and an HSBC savings account in GBP to have withdrawls wired over. I could then have a bank draft drawn up at HSBC which I could take to a Foreign Exchange company to convert to CAD and then deposit into my CAD savings. This way I would get the best rates.

Just wondering if anyone does this? Seems like a lot of hassle though and I wonder if it may just be better for convenience sake to have my Moneybookers account in CAD or USD, and just deal with the Moneybookers exchange rates. Are the Moneybookers exchange rates really terrible?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

At the moment there's a promotion you get $8 when you sign up to 888.

I want to refer a couple of people who don't have any internet poker experiences.

I know I get $8 only if if they make a deposit.

But the question I want to ask is will the people I refer to 888 get $8 if they don't deposit anything??

The way I read it is that THEY get the $8 only if they deposit.

Can somebody tell me if my reading comprehension is correct???

Thanks for your response, I just want to know if you are 100% sure because this does not look like you are right:

For the Referred Friend to qualify for this offer, s/he must open a new 888poker account and make a minimum deposit within 14 days after registration. To receive the bonus, the Referred Friend must then deposit and accumulate 5 status points within 30 days at 888poker. Once the Referred Friend has achieved such criteria the bonus will be granted within 72 hours.

Please make it happen!
I'll inquire, but I haven't heard anything, which leads me to believe that nothing has been solidified and it'd only be speculation at this point. If I hear differently I'll report back.

Sorry guys, nobody gave me a heads up it was being stopped. I'll see if anything is replacing it.

100+ ppl asked last 888rep daily to fix the focus stealing bug and it still took like years.. now my request to you is:
please just provide us with a download link to the last version of the client that doesnt have this issue..
While I feel for you, the honest answer is they want everyone on the most up-to-date versions so they don't have to apply updates to older versions (ie: table cap).

Will add it to the "to-do" filter list.

Some first thoughts about 888poker. Online support is there only to get you deposit more money on the site and they're quite determined in that. Secondly currency exchang rate is a rip off.

And yet 888 won the award for 2011 Poker Operator of the Year at the eGaming Review awards last week. http://www.pokerlistings.com/888poke...the-year-76682
The rep here has to deal with a lot of complaints, but when you look at some of the other sites, 888 is a beacon of goodness. Congrats, guys and girls!

hi 888 rep, could you please tell us if player balances on 888 are held in segregated accounts? ( and perhaps offer some kind of proof or insight as to how this is done)

also if you have funds deposited on a dragonfish skin, say lucky ace for exaample , who holds those funds, Casava or lucky ace?

thanks

888 is regulated in Gibraltar which has among the strictest rules for companies operating gambling businesses. It's probably the hardest place to get a licence. Every company has to produce audits annually or on demand of the regulatory body.

As I noted in the regs thread, I have certain difficulties with opening tables.
It seems to be that the problem appears especially when the player "TEH_Pokerzzz" (or something like that) already sits at the table. The table keeps loading but it never opens up.

I also have problems when TEH_Pokerzzz sits in the table I am already at. His bets dont show up as a numbers nor chips in the table. Haven't noticed the same problem with any other player. Any suggestions to solve this problem?

Can we please speed up the lag in the lobby? Really getting sick of opening tables and the seat is already filled.

I would like to know this too, due to the ridiculous amount of time (3days) our cash out requests sit around gathering dust in your office.

Maybe "TEH_Pokerzzz" is Pummi or koxxx. Did you happen to install either of their 888 mods?

Edit: Could be your notes file is corrupted, try removing "TEH_Pokerzzz" notes line.

Koxx is TEH_pokerzzzz

I'd uninstall and re-install 888-sw and then overwrite only the image-files u want to be changed.

Yeah, as Pummi said Koxx is TEH_pokerzzzz. Didn't have any problems with him before I moved to the new client. Haven't installed his mods anyhow. If I uninstall/reinstall the client, do I miss the notes?
