That is actually disgusting. I bet these aren't strong or even winning players, just opportunistic vultures waiting to steal the $1500 in blinds.

i feel like i read once that you guys are content with your software.. i could be wrong (i hope im wrong)


but your software is so beyond bad...you guys are now a clear second as best place to play mtt wise... i joked in FTP thread that they should sell you their software... you guys would generate so much more rake w a stars or ftp software


i fire 1-5 mtts a day on your site as is bc of software (where i play ~100 on stars every single day)... there is no doubt that id rip every mtt on your site if you had like 70% of ftps software


w stars p much going downhill you guys legit make a push to get a ton closer to them.. i really dont understand why you guys dont invest in upgrading your **** software... its so ****ing bad

I think they block me because I call them out for the rampant bumhunting that goes on in mid and high stakes games on 888. There are players that don't even want to play poker they just open a table and just wait for a fish to sit. Then when the table fills they only play if they are not BB and then sit out when they get BB so they just play free hands. It is so many tables on 888 with people sitting that just don't want to play poker.

As it stands at the moment I can give my mum a nash chart and tell her to only play if she isn't BB and she would be able to make a profit at 500/1k. This shouldn't be possible and 888 could completely solve the problem by making it like pokerstars where its less lobbies and must play 3h+

/Fox

i dont play as high as fox does (because he's the endboss). but what he describes is a real problem and you should look into fixing it 888 rep. the cartel/mob mentality that people have on the games is outrageous. in addition to that, free-handers are such a big problem that i've complained about in this thread and via email in the past. is there not something you can do?

We do not approve more than 3 players per table without play, and we will take it up with the players in question here.
Thanks,

Thanks

Hey rep! I got into top 50 in the free unexpected $3000 tournament two days ago (i think the reward was the live kit bundle). Just wondering when I get a notification letting me know how to cash in this reward. Thanks

dear sir/madam

History so far,,,,,

I signed up to 888 a few months back (username : hannyug ) and played some freerolls

Then someone staked me $20 to play some poker for him and he transferred to me, and i played some poker and pushed up the roll to $122

When I tried to transfer back $100 to my staker for his stakeback and profit, I got a pop up saying

'' Your account has been restricted. In order to disband your limited access, please use Verify ID tool. ''

I used the tool, and uploaded id card with photo front and back and my latest bank statement.

I got an email back from cassava two days later to confirm my address as the address on the bank statement was slightly different from the address I had used to sign up with. (one was my post box rental address and the other the physical address). I confirmed to them my physical address on the bank statement.

They replied back two days later that the account was verified and all restrictions lifted.

I went back to cashier and tried to transfer again, same popup as above.

I sent back email to cassava and told them this, they said as far as they know all restrictions had been lifted and asked me to contact 888support on email

888support went through the whole thing again asking me to send in documents, which i did and i got a reply back within a few days that my account had been verified and all restrictions lifted

I tried the cashier again and STILL the same above popup came up

I was now getting very frustrated.

I sent emails again to cassava and support. Cassava replied back that my account is fine and there are no restrictions.

Support sent me 2 different responses today

Summary of first one is this >>

''Hannington, we do apologize for any possible misunderstanding, but please note that out of your current bankroll of $127.49 that the amount of $122.49 exact is currently in bonus funds, and is not available for a successful transfer. With that being said, the only amount available for a successful transfer is $5.00.

However, please note that If having a bonus that still requires wagering and you make a money transfer to another member, the bonus amount will be lost with the money transfer request.

If attempting to transfer these funds and you are experienced with any difficulties please take a screenshot of the error experienced so we may have a better understanding of the nature of your query''

Summary of 2nd one is this >>>

''Hannington, I am sorry to hear of the difficulties you encountered trying to complete a money transfer.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to send a money transfer at this time, however you can receive money transfers. This feature will become available to you after you have made atleast two successful deposits in your account. ''

I replied back to the 2nd one with this >>

''thank you for your mail

I am not going to be depositing any funds on your site as i am being staked to play poker games by other players

i successfully rcd funds, played poker and won some money which subsequently i had to send back to my backer but have not been able to even though i have verified my account several times, so i have repaid them back through other poker sites

if this is your policy that i cannot transfer to other members WITHOUT depositing funds on your site, funds which i DONT need as i am getting backed by other players and already have a bankroll with which to play, THEN i have no further incentive to play and pay you rake on your site

until such a time when you are ready to allow me to make money transfers to other players i shall not be playing or paying you any rake on your site, and will just play for my investors on other sites

regards''

So, my request is, is there any way to solve this matter and i resume playing on the 888 site without being badgered into making deposits which i have no need of?

Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post

you have to make deposits , otherwise you cant transfer . what is so difficult to make a deposit by skrill? this rule is against fraudulents accounts. washing money. and is a good rule .

What is not ok is that should not let you to receive money .to many people abuses promotions and other stuff and they collude or do other things.

You realize that most sites require you to deposit as well before you can withdraw? Or did you not intend to ever get some of your profit off? Might as well deposit now, take the freebies that come with it and be good to go for cashing out if the need arises.

I don't use skrill and have no credit cards

Fraudulent accounts wouldn't be playing mtts, sngs, dons and cash poker all day like I have been doing

I agree on the issue that if I am not allowed to transfer to others, then others should not be allowed to transfer to me too, in which case, I wouldn't have accepted any staking offer from anyone, I wouldn't have made them $$'s and I wouldn't need to transfer them back their investments with profit, which I eventually did do from another site after being accused of being a 'scammer' and trying to 'cheat' them from their money and profits.

For withdrawing offsite, yes, I can understand that, but not for transferring to other players on site. If and when I do reach the stage of wanting to cash out any large profits I may make on the site, then I can make a deposit to facilitate that, but, until then I have sent in documents, ids, bank statements several times, and got my account verified, so why should I be forced to deposit funds TWICE just to allow me to transfer back to other players on site? it's not as if the money is going into my pockets, its going back to investors who trusted and invested in me.

At one point support even said I needed to earn 20more bonus points to allow me to transfer, which I did earn and more on top, then they change their song again, this is not how you treat your clients who are using your site, playing a ton of poker, generating rake, etc.

Anyway, until this is resolved or a compromise reached, I am not going to be playing on this site, and, really don't need to, as there are tons of other sites where I am actively playing, sending and receiving monies, and paying rake without being badgered into making TWO deposits, which deposits I have no need of as I get staked for all my games.

dear 888rep,
You guys lied twice about his account is fine and there are no restrictions.
as he new player how can he trust you guys that if he deposit he will be able to transfer or withdraw money?
looks like you guys are just clueless.
If he needs to deposit to be able to transfer or withdraw please show where its written in ur terms or anywhere in the site.
After lying with your customer twice its really sucks when u ask for deposit to solve a issue.
Thank you

problem is why 888 saying different thing at different times?
1st to verify account- which is fine.
2nd said all clear
3rd to verify again
4th said clear again
5th earn more points( pay rake)

After than now deposite TWICE?? Why TWICE not ONCE is good?

888 rep or any of those 888 lovers can explain why TWICE is important here after changing their statement so many time?

Dear Rep,

what i saw above isnt it collusion if all of them are russian and not playing vs eachother(soft play).

I want a official statement on these from 888 poker. This should not be allowed.
If they always wait for a fish and never play against eachother its pure collusion.
hope 888 refund all the money who were ripped of by these russian scammers and also who ever do this should get banned.

KEEP US UPDATED IF UR SOFTWARE IS COLLUSION FREE OR NOT

What should I do with about rewards 1200 points ( almost 800 status points)? I am silver and I should get 4% rakeback, but it is not true I think? I should propably buy bonuses for $13, cause converting points give me $12. 888 reset points every month?

NO 888 wont reset your points. you will have them next month or later.
Ya converting is not a good option.
Better rakeback if u buy tickets or cash from store.

There are no "888 mods", however one of their site representatives checks into the thread regularly and should be fairly easy to find when browsing the last few pages.
