hey, thanks for recent changes, a few more suggestions;

- change one of the $5 deepstacks to a deepstack 8-8-8, preferably the 16:15 or 17:45 uk time mtts.
- re-brand the 1k $12 turbo at 6.30pm uk time to a regular $12 "Catfish" 10 minute levels.
- change one 400/600gtd 6-max "snap" tournaments 6.45/7.30pm to either $3/$5 6max rebuy or $12 6max freezout.
- increase gtd of the $5.50 KO at 7.40pm

There are currently no low stakes 8-max or 6-max freezouts during peak time.

Boost the gtd of the 6pm $11ko and keep boosting the gtd of the 11ko u just added in the morning if it does well
+1 early turbo catfish would be nice

the $5 1k r+a and the $5 1k blowfish 1pm uk are cannibalising each other, change blowfish to a different format maybe 6-max?

thanks for recent changes.

still could use some more satellites. Those 10c rebuys to 2$ Re-Entry to 12$/22$ should run around the clock imho.

It just looks weird if you see "NEW 8max Catfish 12$" and there are zero satellites. You don't need to put up 5 seats, 2-3 would be fine I guess.


Also some x$ to 12$/22$ (tickets) would be nice, without it having 500 chips and a wild structure. Could do some 1$ to 12$ and some 2$ to 22$ sats with ~5 seats gtd once daily as a "major satellite" event or something. 6 minute blinds and 1,5k/2k starting stack.

Any chance to get some midstakes R&A:s (turbo or regular) to the schedule? There's currently exactly zero over 5$ rebuys in the European evening. 3 during off-peaks though. Makes zero sense.

Add some 12+r, 22+r and maybe one rebuy swordfish branded 30+r to daily schedule. Reg speed mainly for earlier prime time, some turbos around midnight.

We changed the $600 gtd $12 turbo at 14:15 to "The $1,000 Early Turbo Catfish", Will increase gtd if it performs well. 3 seats gtd sat running at 12:15.
Increased the gtd of the 11ko from $800 to $1,000. Will keep an eye on this one as well.

could be replaced with a $3 or $5 rebuy 6-max if the issue with company still exists - it usually got around 50-80 runners but i know was popular with recs as the 6max format incentivized more rebuys
Yeah we no longer offer webcam games at the moment.
We have moved the $5 1k gtd R&A from 13:00 to 12:00.

Added a 3 seats gtd sat to the 8-max catfish. Also added $2.2 multi seat gtd sats to the starfishes.

Thx for early turbo catfish, also appreciate only 1x re-entry rather than the unlimited entry garbage which I feel has ruined a lot of tournaments, shown in their participation.

Change of time for 5r also looks to be a good one, was defo cannibalizing the blowfish. However could we not get any 6max rebuys in the morning schedule?

Hi guys, i've had a problem with 888. I deposited some money (just transfered my bankroll from pokerstars to 888), played some micrsotakes for a month or so, won some money and wanted to withdraw it. At this point i am required to verify my ID, so i sent my ID card, it was accepted and i was waiting for 888's response. Few days later, i try to login to my account, and i see it is "temporarily banned" . I tried contacting the 888 support team, and i didnt get any reason why my account got banned just said "As stated in our terms and conditions we can" . I asked could i at least know WHY my account is banned the second i try to withdraw, and the response was:
"The decision to discontinue your membership with us still stands. This was a discretionary decision, and as indicated in our Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to terminate your membership, and so in accordance with these conditions, your account with ourselves has been permanently blocked." Could someone tell me is this a thing that happens to players often? I read some forums about this and it turns out this is happening to people quite often

We've replaced the $4,000 Swordfish at 18:00 GMT with a new R&A tournament - "The $8,000 R&A Catfish". Buy-in is $12. No fee on rebuys and add-on. We've built a strong satellite structure for this tournament and decided to start with a pretty high GTD, will make adjustments later on if necessary.

Have fun!

The Quarterback isn't performing well, probably time to think something new for thursday's main night? Exp now that the gtd has dropped to 10k and the tornado starts 30 min later with the same gtd.
Tbh i never liked the concept of the tournament: rebuying for only 1/4 of the startng stack doesn't look awesome

the $5r+a at 4pm uk time is probably struggling because of the 8-8-8 mtt at the same time, move this forward somewhere between 4.45pm - 5.30pm, or just change the format maybe to 6-max?

Still no low stakes 8-max or 6-max freezouts during peak time but you have them elsewhere in the schedule and bigger buy ins?

You are correct. We removed the Quarterback and looking to create a new tournament every Thursday to replace it.
What would you guys like it to be? we are open to suggestions.

Moved the 1.5k gtd $5 R&A to 15:45 GMT (16:45 UK), and changed to 8-Max.

I would go for a 160$ KO with a 50$ bounty, same structure of the mega deep, starting 15k$ gtd, promise you it won't fail

This maybe a silly question, but I am quite new to 888.
It has happened several times that if I bust a hand I want to go look what happened in the replayer and it has disappeared. I make a habit of opening the replayer immediately when I start a tournament so I can frequently look back at hands which is essential if I play multiple tables or multiple sites. But for some reason it sometimes disappears with my last bust hand.
Maybe I do something wrong. Not sure. Any idea ?

888Rep When can we expect the software upgrade? The one in which customized bet buttons are added, breaks which wait for all tables to finish the hand and start then, etc. ?
