Ok 888rep if you are answering questions again then can you address:

1. The reasons behind the table cap? Probably really obvious but it was just introduced without any notice or explanation. Something official would be nice.
2. If there will be anything done to make the vip system fairer with this new cap?
3. The waiting list bug still isn't fixed. When is it being addressed?
4. Can you start doing server restarts at a more reasonable time? Preferably something like 4am UK time and give plenty of warning in popups and emails.

I play cash exclusively and there are no bonuses, no promotions or anything geared towards us whilst the tourney and sngs players get rewards every single month. It's actually really unfair when we are paying way more rake than they are.

Thanks

what difference does it make having 6 tables, why is it better for anyone other than the fish?

its a pain in the ass mixing tables from different sites.

Yeah, number of tables can be observed should be like 20. That would also be useful if I wanted to piss off the table campers and bumhunters. I managed to block their tables by making my computer automatically click on the empty seats 5 times per second, and that way they are always reserved. The only bad thing is I can't use my pc for anything while doing that.

LOL awesome!

I usually just stick MW3 on the ps3 on and every 10mins jump in an empty seat and sitout.

You're way is much more efficient. You must be from Germany

Hello,

I have won money on 888 but the cashout takes 4-5 business days to my Skrill account. (Ridiculous but what to do....)

I like to trade money with somebody. I need 29 dollars tonight.
i am willing to pay you 30 dollar.

If you want to help me, I can first transfer 30 dollar to your 888 account.

You can then send 29 dollar to my Pokerstars account.
Or to my Skrill account.

I will really appreciate your help.

yep, 888 chat is awesome

Andreea: Hi ben, this is Andreea from 888poker; thanks for chatting with me.
I noticed you are in the cashier, let's get you playing......

Andreea: hello

Andreea: how are you?

you: hi, can you please change my deposit currency from AUD back to USD. you changed it without my knowledge which meant i got charged currency conversion fees to deposit from a USD account into USD in my 888 account. please change it back

Andreea: sure

Andreea: one moment

you: any reason why you changed it and in effect stole money from me?

Andreea: no

Andreea: one moment

Andreea: done

Andreea: was changed

you: i have just gone to the deposit screen again and it still says AUD

Andreea: refresh the page

you: thankyou it has worked now.

you: i am still quite annoyed that it was changed.

you: can you please tell me why 888 decided to change the currrency? it seems like a blatant cash grab to make money on the exchange fees. i lost about $20 last time i deposited $200 which is ridiiculous

Andreea: you want to change the settle

Andreea: from aud to us$

you: sorry?

Andreea: If you require further assistance, please contact our Member Support Center, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Andreea: Toll-free from Australia 1-800-153-466

I can't do that. This trick only works on HU tables, or 6 max, where 5 players seated and no one's playing.

check out this old rake that have on pacificpoker website


Table Limit: $25/$50-$50/$100
No. of Players----- Rake per Pot ------------- MAX
2-10 ------------ Flat rake of $3----------- $3

new rake
No. of Players----- Rake per Pot-------------- MAX
2-10------------- 1¢ for each 20¢ in Pot------ $5


now pokerstars rake

stake----- % Rake----- 2 Player Cap----- 3-4 Player Cap----- 5+ Player Cap
$50/100-----4.50% ----- $2.00---------- $3.00------------- $5.00

what a joke

why do they have two different rake at pacificpoker.com and 888.com? weird.

Not everyone opposes the new table cap. I, for one, think it's a very positive change and can't understand why any player would be against it. Anyone who has ever played on PokerStars should be able to see how destructive their high table cap is. It's good to see that 888 can see past the greed of immediate profit and wants to create a more healthy long-term business.

However, there is the point that when business decisions are made, they need to be accompanied by clear, honest announcements and the support department needs to be able to say more than "that's the way it is". I have received this sort of response on a number of occasions and it is infuriating to receive such a response. The Member Support Reps need to be told that if they don't know why a business decision was made, that they should refer the question to someone who does.
Hello
These indeed are just business decisions - 888poker constantly adjusts its table caps and rake structures to develop the poker eco-system that fits its audience best.
We have made a great amount of adjustments to tournaments and cash games in the past year to fit the specific needs of our audience.
It'd be hard to explain everything for a business standpoint, especially since every decision affects different players in a different ways. Even the table cap - yes, it means less open tables per player, effectively less hands played... but it makes the game more enjoyable for many casual players on 888poker.

We are looking into the feedback we get on 2p2 and I will be forwarding your suggestions and question to poker room managers and developers.

Best

ok WTF is going on

1) My luckyace account is in CAD. My Skrill account is in CAD. Yet I'm getting charged FX fees on all my deposits.

2) I MIGHT BE MISSING MONEY?? I've made $1200 worth of deposits. According to HEM, I'm down $425. My balance is $414.52. That's a $360 shortfall missing from my account. WTF?
