Can you get trouble from 888-side and/or is there any way to prove to 888 upfront that you will only use seatingscript on Stars, but not on 888?

Would love if all sites would ban scripts as 888 do, fwiw...
If they detect you using a seating script you will get notified to stop or action will be taken so that is how you will know.

Actually, i read few topics with ban for seating script without a warning before. Anyway running seating script at the same time with 888poker client is almost 100% way to get strike/ban.

LOL
You can run bot freely and any other soft. 888 is unable to detect this kind of things even with videos that proves it clearly. Cheating is going on there everyday.

Yes but best to call support and explain it to them first to avoid any confusion.

You need to deposit and withdraw in USD currency.
You need to call support and ask them to change your default currency from GBP to USD.

Ok, I am looking at Tonkaa videos and I see that at his tables he can see his tournament position on the lower left corner. Why can't I do the same thing?

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: July 16, 2017

Ivan “nomoney4ever” Banic Struck by Lightning

On Sunday, the $109 buy-in, $20,000 guaranteed Sunday Lightning drew 148 players who accounted for 83 rebuys. That created a $23,100 prize pool that was distributed to the top 18 players. Among those to walk away with some cash were Emil “Ejsenhoven1” Ohlsson (18th for $300.30), “ESTRATEGA18” (13th for $300.30), and Japan’s “IamKenji1967” (8th for $750.75).

After nine hours and four minutes, Croatia’s Ivan “nomoney4ever” Banic bested Argentina’s “doorscentral” in heads-up play to capture a $6,006 first-place prize. Banic currently sits fourth on Croatia’s all-time poker money list with $342,057 in live tournament earnings, which includes $253,375 and a gold ring for winning the 2016 World Series of Poker International Circuit King’s Rozvadov Main Event.

“Jupp_shippts” Wins the Mega Deep

The $215 buy-in Mega Deep attracted 388 runners and saw 54 of them claim a portion of an $80,000 prize pool including “Fukuruku” (33rd for $480), “MalakiasCF” (14th for $880), and Emil “Ejsenhoven1” Ohlsson (6th for $3,400), who was making his second cash after going deep in the Sunday Lightning. Likewise, “IamKenji1967” just missed out on his second final table of the day finishing 11th for $1,040.

In the end, Austria’s “Jupp_shippts” defeated “mil3n4o0” in heads-up play to win the title and a $15,352 top prize. Back in April, “Jupp_shippts” defeated a field of 139 players to win the $5,000 Deepstack Monsoon for $1,598.
AUK’s “FatStacksY0” Captures Baby Whale

The $320 buy-in Baby Whale, which runs every other week, surpassed its $80,000 guarantee by attracting 189 players who accounted for 87 rebuys, which created an $82,800 prize pool. Among the 27 players to earn some cash were “DerEinzahlR” (23rd for $828), who’ll you read more about below; “corey092” (11th for $1,449); and Emil “Ejsenhoven1” Ohlsson (5th for $4,968), who was at his second final table of the day.

After nine hours and four minutes, the UK’s “FatStacksY0” claimed the $17,082 first-place prize by defeating Germany’s “888_de” in heads-up play.
“ImJ01” Takes Down Sunday Lightning

The $109 buy-in $20,000 Sunday Lightning 6-Max attracted 162 players who accounted for 82 rebuys, which created a $24,400 prize pool. That was distributed to the top 18 players including “alexxabest” (15th for $317.20), “DeepInCidurr” (8th for $793), and “Sarkus89” (4th for $2,074).

After 10 hours and six minutes, “ImJ01” defeated “HuliVamNadaA” in heads-up play to take down the $6,344 top prize. Back on October 16 of last year, “ImJ01” bested a field of 251 players to win the $20,000 Sunday Tornado for $7,648.
“DerEinzahlR” Slays the Crocodile

The $160 buy-in, $30,000 Sunday Crocodile paid out 27 players including “popsnpoker” (22nd for $300), Mathias “joao_mathias” Baumgarten (15th for $450), “MacGyver888” (5th for $1,800), and “BetShoveCall” (4th for $2,625).

After Ukraine’s “filonenkoap” bowed out in third place, Germany’s “DerEinzahlR” and Lithuania’s “Ibeturaise2x” battled it out in heads up play. In the end, the former came out on top to take down $6,450 while the latter had to settle for a $4,650 consolation prize.

Back in May, “Ibeturaise2x” finished 7th in the XL Inferno Main Event for $51,772, while in April of last year “DerEinzahlR” finished second in the $100,000 Mega Deep for $20,477.89 after a heads-up deal with “BenGvnn.”
Wigg and Ylitalo Cash Turbo Mega Deep

It took just under four hours for the $215 buy-in, $30,000 guaranteed Turbo Mega Deep to reach a winner. Along the way, Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg (10th for $720), Robin “Inho” Ylitalo (5th for $1,950), and “Oduvanchik15” (3rd for $3,900) all finished in the money.

In the end, Sweden’s “SkallePer58” defeated Canada’s “toro_56_56” in heads-up play to claim the $7,500 top prize. The final table was reminiscent of the June 11 Turbo Mega Deep, which saw “SkallePer58” and “Oduvanchik15” battle for the title. In that contest, the latter came out on top to win $9,589.
What to watch out for:


The “Champion-Chips” micro series, which will feature buy-ins ranging from $1-$50, is right around the corner!
For the second year in a row, 18 events from July 23-30 will offer $150,000 in guaranteed prizes.

For eight days leading up to “Champion-Chips,” from July 15-22 to be exact, we will be running qualifiers at 12:05, 18:05 and 23:35 GMT every day.
Each qualifier awards 50 seats to its corresponding “Champion-Chips” Series Tournament.

FYI,
This is a feature we currently provide only for Twitch streamers. Hopefullly we will be able to add it for all players in a future version.

It's strange that you let your Twitch streamers play on a different client version. If a mere mortal watches the stream, downloads the client and doesn't find a feature that has been showcased on Twitch, they'll be puzzled.

Started poker again after a 9 years hiatus. Used to play on FT, great client, no problems.

Chose 888 after a 15 minute research; installed it on Sunday:
- client only runs in admin mode
- tournament tickets window is not wide enough, some of the information is not displayed
- my display settings are not saved, I have to resubmit them everytime I play
- I have yet to receive my $88 bonus

I have sent an email to support on Monday.
Today is Wednesday.

What should I do?

I keep getting kicked off waiting lists and it's driving me nuts. It doesn't happen all the time but enough to disrupt a session.

I can wait for up to half an hour then your software prompts me to take my seat but when I click on the seat it tells me that seat is reserved for another player and I'm removed from the waiting list!

It's not a timeout issue or any other issue my end afaik.

HI Rep. Im on the same question to you and network that you represent. Me and other players have complained about player Wormler. He is pure bot. Many evidence have been given but he is still playing. Yesterday I saw him playing 2 tables. He was sitting out and anyway rematching. Means that his program broke and something went wrong. I dont think real player would go sitout and pressing rematch button unless he is idiot. Or is it possible in this network?
Some months ago the same thing happened to other bots such as sukit22, 8475637744 etc. If you look at their stats you will see that they lost all last games cos smth went wrong with bots they used. After that they were banned and didnt play anymore.

If you need i can provide you with tourney ids. Im fedup complayning about bots to your support. They do nothing.
Rep, just tell us why you keep him playing? Is he some kind of house player or depositing a lot that you dont want to ban him? If this time you dont ban this cheater Im going to post huge post about unbanned bots on 888 network on every significant poker forum.

Every self-respecting network would ban him immidiatly with all given evidence.

Its outrageous that your twitch streamers use different software, your players use scripts and bots and you do nothing. Hud is not allowed on SNAP tables but everyone who is able to use google use hud and remain unpunished.
