Funny. Probably what has happened to me here. I posted here and in cardschat forums and reps from both sites have said that they will forward my requests, or stated that they have spoken to the 888 team on my behalf. All i have been trying for is a response from operations department. To have some form of back and forth surrounding my current situation. A chance to explain answers to their questions and ultimately to understand what exactly had even flagged my account in the first place.

It was probably relayed that i am making a stink about things in public forums. But really - after 12 days of absolute silence, could they expect anything different? In my opinion i have been extremely patient and polite.

s poker staff who only care about getting money on the site, not providing ANY quality customer service. Many times responses take a week and the response sounds like the agent has less brain functionality -Must be a tactic to play brain dead therefore customers get fed up and stop wanting help/answers. Scary really, given we rely on these people to stop motivated cheaters using bots, table seat scripts. Lots of reports of those players here so hows that defence going for them.

There is no way i am going to take this bending over. Thats a significant amount of money they have essentially just stolen from me and as ive stated earlier i dont use anything other than the 888poker program. I dont use HUDS i dont you ANYTHING additional. I didnt even customize the hotkeys within their program. There is no way i am accepting this result from them. They dont even specifiy what it is they suspect i have used they havent give any details whatsoever.

I just replied with this email..

This is absolutely ludicrous. This is theft. I have done absolutely nothing wrong. Like i stated before i dont use any additional software or anything other than the 888poker program itself. Absolutely nothing additional. What exaclty have your findings come up with? I demand this be further looked into. I will not accept this. I have played legitimately under your TOS and have done absolutely nothing wrong. You cannot be shutting down legitimate customers accounts. You have not even told me what you suspect i specifically have done wrong. Something is wrong with your software and what it is flagging because you have just done this to a completely legitimate customer.

Your team needs to further review this. Its completely unacceptable and wrong.


I cannot believe the level of conduct by 888. This is absolute theft on their behalf. Surely they cant be doing this to people and getting away with it. Just because they say- cant make it so.
What is your screenname on 888?

this is hilarious. I emailed about him a few days ago not reading this post. It was obvious he was scripting and a bot. Not sure what games u found him in but he is playing in.

This guy Arcticfishy is just trying to undermine 888. Possibly, multiaccounter. May be you need a moderator to discuss blocking him because this guy obviously doesn't want any help.

I did report him two days ago and have not received ANY response yet. I don’t think they really care. He is driving slow games and raking it up

I am a customer who wants refunds owed and wants 888 support and security to start earning their wage. I have paid months worth of support wage in rakes so I am entitled to give my opinion. If you don’t like it do mot read my post

it is hard to do because you create 70% of all posts here without posting anything new
also you refuse to give any specific information to 888rep

nothing is resolved by support. They have staff that ignore emails about collusion. Why would any person do this. To my understanding sites are required by licence to
provide fair games to the best of their ability and required by licence agreement to investigate claims made my players regarding shady play/collusion. Players like Siimsilver as reported above are raking 19K in a few months? And emails about it are not responded too. Something doesn’t smell right here

I also reported him one week ago. He is still playing! He is 100% a bot and nothing is done. @888rep please this should be investigate with high priority!!!

Does anyone here dislike 888 mtt structure? First off, it takes way too long to be itm. But not only that, the late reg is 3 hour long or more. Also, you start out so deep stack where chips don't mean much early on. I mean if you double up your stack from 50k to 100k, sure you have doubled your stack. But then when near late reg closes, you have players late reg it with like 20bb or even 10bb. Then if they double up once, they are close to the average stack almost.


But the bigger issue seem to be... when its close to the money, the play is very slow. But not only that, because of that, the avg stack when its near the bubble is like 25bb or less. I seen many tournaments where right after the bubble burst, the avg stack size is 15bb. Does anyone here find this ridiculous and not like it? Once the bubble burst, then players go out very fast. But the issue is its like once its close to the bubble and after it, its like a turbo tournament.


Does anyone agree 888 need to either close late reg early or make the play early on meaningful? I mean you start out so deep stack... even if you double your stack twice to like 200k when late reg is closing, someone can just late reg 20bb or 10bb... they double up once or twice... they have the same stack size as the same player playing from the start. Look at stars and party. Much quicker to be itm and avg stack isn't something ridiculous once its around the bubble. Does anyone know why so many regulars seem to play 888 mtt? I dont know why anyone would be in favor of their tournaments. I mean if you start out so deepstack and lot of play early on, shouldn't avg stack be around 30bb minimum at least when its close to bubble time?

Agree, minimised action on 888 because many structures are painful with absurdly long late reg, till itm, then shovefest. Not enjoyable, need a revamp (or copy/paste Stars).

play

It’s clear they don’t care. There are many players like this raking tens of thousands for a site that needs to have 3 hours late reg to keep tournaments going. I’ve not had a response now for 3 days about player siimsilver to operations department which I was told to email about these concerns. This is not smearing this is what has happened

Yes, I transfered my bankroll to Party poker.

Tired of the useless bugs and glithces which have existed for almost a year. Then the final straw, one of those '5-level' scratch cards gave me a cash bonus which activated a mandetaory bonus wagering.

See ya.

+1 MTT structures have been awful ever since the chip stack increase to 50K.

The schedule still has huge gaps and there is rarely anything interesting to play even at peak times. Too much gimmick, not enough standardised freezeouts/PKOs.

On another note, Other sites dont have rebuys, 888 could set up some nice 1R1A type stuff to buff GTD.

There needs to be a clean organized schedule with buyins catered to LMH every 30m-1h.

Can you please fix the blind level structure for the Big Fish tournaments (the ones that start with 50,000 stacks).

Instead of:

6k/12k
8k/16k
10k/20k
15k/30k
20k/40k

It should be:

6k/12k
7k/14k
8k/16k
9k/18k
10k/20k
12.5k/25k
15k/30k
17.5k/35k
20k/40k

The current structure just shortstacks most of the field and turns it into a lottery once blinds hit 8k/16k and onwards.
