has there ever been, in the history of mankind, a more artificially forced hype than the ''''''''''''hype''''''''''' 888 tried to create with flopmania ?

Just a small backstage security enhancement.

Thanks

Hello everyone,
There’s a new game in town and it goes by the name Flopomania. That’s right, we at 888poker are putting a twist on traditional Texas hold’em by starting
the action on the flop.

Here’s how it works- click for all info
https://stage-www.888poker.com/magaz...es-flopomania/

Flopomania is available now on 888poker.

I'm a Canadian player and I made my initial deposit with credit card and it's not a withdrawal option. The only option available is wire transfer which will probably be a hefty fee relative to my bankroll. If I make a small deposit with Instadebit will I be able to withdraw my balance to Instadebit after the payment clears?

Can you please give me your poker user name and I will ask support to check your account and let you know your options.
Thanks

**** right off! This is another game to punish good winning NLHE players! It is very similar to casino holdem, a ****ing casino game. Also your ambassadors can **** off as well.

Thank you

I think I can confirm that Flopomania is a big flop !

Everyone pays an ante + no preflop = every pot raked. Surprised Stars didn't get there first.

The "wouldn't it be great if everyone limped preflop" advert for it was funny (though not sure if that was the intention), player in big blind really wants to play her 72 and gets upset when someone raises.

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

THIS WEEK: August 20, 2017


Aleksandr “EvnomiYa” Mordinov Wins $1,050 Whale for Second Time in Two Months

What to watch out for:


We’re guaranteeing $8 million in prizes for the upcoming XL Eclipse online tournament series, which will run September 10-24. That’s $500,000 more in GTD prize money than was offered in the spring’s XL Inferno.

The full XL Eclipse schedule will be released shortly, but we can tell you that there will be a $300,000 Opening Event, $50,000 Mini Opening Event, and $1,500,000 Main Event

In the meantime, we’re running a special promotion where you can grab three free tickets to the daily XL Eclipse qualifiers. Simply deposit $10 or more using the promotional code “ECLIPSE10” and three free tickets are all yours.

I cashed out because I were afraid of the AI-ban. Maybe I deposit a small amount and continue to play in september if no new player gets banned.

I don't find where I can select it to play in in my 888poker gui. I am using a very old version of 888 that still has the chat box in the left bottom corner... I hope that's not the reason because I don't want to update to that newer very ugly version with no chatbox.

Yes that would be the reason.

Well yea no **** mate...

Discussion about Flopomania.

Hello, i got banned while i was trying to make account verification prior to making any deposits or playing. I was trying to contact support via email and had zero replies. Could you please explain what is actually happening and help me unlock my account?

Sorry buddy you were clearly using AI assistance. Your money is confiscated, please don't create any more accounts as those will also have their funds seized. Thanks you for your cooperation!

Have you waited 3 working days?

Anyway, try to call them by phone.

Sorry, they've decided not to respond and that's their FINAL DECISION.

I will need your poker user name please?

PM sent

Can somebody please point me to the best rakeback deal (if there is one)? Or best bonus?

Is it like Poker Stars where you earn points that you can convert into cash?

If you choose wrong affiliate, you will be banned for using AI. Look for posts in this theme.

And yes, it is like PS but max rb is about 2% in points.

There is no rakeback but here is our Reward structure.
