This looks to be a lot like the last promotion "Splash Party" but with a name for the winter season. There are freerolls running already for it but like last time a lot of people have not had their accounts updated so can't get the tickets yet.

https://www.888poker.com/magazine/888news/ace-slopes-winter-888pokers-1m-freeroll-extravaganza

The biggest difference is the requirement to get tickets to the main event at the end. Looks like you have to win 100 hands each month and be in-the-money in 3 or more buy-in MTTs each month.

The link for the full terms and conditions is not working yet.

Once that is up maybe we can discuss the best way to get tickets for this and hopefully get some wins.

Sigh, as usual when a new promotion at 888 begins the challenges don't work for me.
I just did both the tournament and casino challenges and got 0 tickets.
Extra annoying since I lost about $30 doing the casino challenge thanks to a horrific run, had 1 win, 1 push and 14 losses in 16 hands of BJ.:eek:

The slots are usually much kinder than BJ.

If it's the same "bug" as usual with the 888 promotions, everyone will start getting tickets after the 10k freeroll on Sunday.

It looks like the same thing. I don't have the challenges. I did get the email. Also no free tickets this time to get us started either?

I think a lot of people are in the same boat. The first $1k Green Run game yesterday only had 150 people in it.
Great payouts for those chosen few.:rolleyes:

Still no tickets even though I got the popup about the promotion.

At least now they are having $1 freerolls, with a $2 payout :confused:

I saw one of these earlier, $1 prize, 1 spot paid and about 3000 entries.

There must be more to them than it seems, I can't fathom 3k+ people really playing for just a $1 winner take all game, and you need a ticket just to enter to boot.:eek:

The 10k just started with less than 500 entrants, must be nice.

Yeah, but didn't you hear, there is no problem, the high number of people complaining just haven't been patient and waited 72 hours for the tickets.:rolleyes:

Seriously, it's just sad and pathetic at this point.:(

I emailed support because I wasn't receiving any tickets. They sent me a $5 Blast ticket for my bad experience. I'd rather have the freeroll tickets.

They didn't even address my question. Typical.

I told them the problem appeared widespread based on the tourney enrollment numbers.

The $1 prize pool tourneys are a mystery. I thought it was a typo or a joke.

Why would 888 want 3000 people wasting their rtme playing for $1 when they could be playing other games, and 888 making rake?

At least you got a ticket. All I am getting is instructions to reinstall my poker client and clear my cache. Lol.

I should have won a couple of tickets too, but still nothing. Almost a week they started the promotion and clearly they are only giving tickets for a couple of players, the problem should be fixed by now.

Ok, I got 3 Green Run tickets credited to me by 888support. It's a start but I will still have to see if the promotion itself works now on my account.

In other news, the terms and conditions for the promotion seem to be down again.

I just wagered $10 in the casino. Nothing showed up to confirm the challenges were completed, so I will wait 72 hours before any more of that...

I received the email about this promotion today, finally.

Unfortunately, not working for me yet.
