The most miserable service on this poker room regarding combat against colludrs . in the past 2-3 days i ve seen and reported almost 30 colluders -all from UK all starting same day all same game same number.

i am completed disgusted of this .

Stop having all rags promotions wich almost half of registered players are triple , multiple etc accounts and start having some protection against those ppl .
You will need to allow some more time for our fraud team to investigate these players as 2=3 days is not enough.
They will definitely investigate them pecal but I'm sure you can understand that it will longer than you anticipated.
Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention.

You make the fraud investigation in this specific case sound like rocket science when it should rather be easy and straight forward.

While we are outing possible cheating accounts...

snephoenix - Showed up on August 13. Has played 3078 games, 2783 of them being $5 and $10 super turbo sngs.

starzlight - showed up on August 12. Has played 3143 games, 3113 of them being $5 and $10 super turbo sngs.

They have played 1725 games together over that time period. There is a VERY high correlation between the times they start and end their days of grinding as well. Example, they both played their last game of the day within 10 minutes of eachother the last time they played yesterday. There is zero doubt that these accounts are linked in someway, and the fact that they have already played these many games shows the inability of 888 to catch cheaters. I have emailed support, but it will not be followed up with for at least 72 hours, so hopefully posting this publicly will make them stop until that happens.

They both show up usually around this time to start their day of grinding. If they have not seen the post when they do, I will keep an eye on the lobbies and update once they both start.

Edit: 2:50 PM ET: snephoenix just registered in his first game of the day.

Hello,
I was playing in the $6 2R1A on Sunday - Tournament ID 71709423.
I reached the final table, at which point, everybody disconnected from 888 - I confirmed this by contacting friends who also play on 888, who also reported being unable to get back on.
However, it took me longer to reconnect than everyone else - I managed to log back in on my phone after a while, but the table didn't pop up so I had to log out and start trying to log back in on my computer again.

By the time I reconnected, I'd blinded down from 174k chips in the hand before I was disconnected - This is the last hand that got imported into PokerTracker 4 - To 111k when I came back.

Also, I am staked to play Poker on your site, which requires me to send money to and from my backers a lot. The $220 transfer limit is frustrating when I need to send them money, so can you increase this on my account please?

Cheers,
Andy (EvilPengwinz)

After careful revision of your account, we were able to locate the game that you were disconnected from: $2,500 Guaranteed Turbo 2R1A (ID#71709423) which had a buy in of $6.00. It was noted that you were in fact disconnected, however, you were able to re-enter the tournament and successfully win $115.16. Congratulations on your winnings and as you ended up winning; we see no reason for any reimbursement at this time.
Sure, cashing must mean I didn't lose any EV from this, despite blinding out and losing over 1/3rd of my stack, right? Morons.

In regards to increasing your limits, Andrew, please note that this is an adjustment that you will have to make on your own. Members of the 888 Support Department cannot make this adjustment for you.

As part of our dedication to provide members with a responsible gaming environment, 888poker offers the facility to set your own deposit limits, in turn helping you control the amount of money wagered at our tables.

To implement these limits, please visit the Cashier and towards the bottom of the screen, click either the 'Responsible gaming' or 'Set limits' link, whichever is available to you.

When using the 'Responsible gaming' link, you are directed to the responsible gaming page. Within the 'Self limits' paragraph, please click the link: 'through the Cashier'. Once directed to the Cashier, login and select 'Enable Self Deposit Limits'.

Alternatively, if you select 'Set limits', click the 'Enable Self Deposit Limits' option on the proceeding page.

You now have the option of setting your own deposit limit by clicking on the 'Edit' button. Please ensure that the amount entered is not below the minimum deposit amount for the deposit method you wish to use.

Upon next accessing the 'Enable Self Deposit Limits' section, you will be presented with the following two options: 'Allow me to deposit more' and 'Allow me to deposit less'. You may choose between further restricting your deposit limits, extending your deposit limits or removing the limits you set previously.
[ ] I asked about deposit limits
[ ] I have deposit limits
[ ] I deposit

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for contacting us and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention, Mathew.
But hey, wouldn't expect anything else from a site that can't even get my name right.

If you are saying your fraud team are very busy at the moment I think I will not deposit on your site.

they mean that is impossible to do that . what we all need is more filters when you creat an account : picture with them selves etc. i dont know , i am not smart enough but when ppl abuse some promotions they need to have filter enough as an account to be good and valided.

i am ***** tired of this, print screen , reported and every single day they are anothers and anothers and so on

is really necessary to have those filters

It's very unfortunate that even your own support is experiencing server issues and lag. On a more serious note, a waiting time of up to 72 hours is by far not standard at all in the industry and makes 888 look like amateurs.

Quoting me on this issue again. There is no way you can do a break with doing "Sit out next Bigblind on all tables" and going for a 5min break without losing tables. Other sites timeframe for having a break are way easier to handle..

After more than 2 months of delayed cashier opening (it took more than 5 minutes for cashier to open itself in full) today the problem is gone.
I believe problems with disconnections are also in the past now.

Anyone?

@rep

what we can do against those kind of colluders i was talking about? each day new created accounts same person , every single day .

i cant send all day long 5 another 5 emails with those kind of accounts and anyway they dont spend more than 1 day on the site.

I hate all the time whn i play against those teams colluders . Each day anothers and only on 6 max sng turbo 1$ .This is to much

Is there a chance to send the tournament id , print screen and receiving buy in back?

There must be done something against promotion with 12 pounds free. Those UK accounts are abusing every single day , and is the fkig same person .

I fully understand your frustrations but there's not a lot I can do but advise you to mail support and see what they advise.

You could actually forward this very information presented to you in the thread to the relevant department instead of having him send it to regular support and then wait until it gets forwarded to the proper department. Did this ever cross your mind as being more effective and taking less time?
