Since several hours now 888 can't be reached from Germany. I am afraid they will have soon the same restrictions for German players like on Pokerstars:

Jo, welcome to the land of the free.
Slowly but surely, it's enough here in Germany with the bans and regulations.
Here you are not only told how to heat and what to eat. Like an octopus, politics worms its way into every aspect of citizens' lives.
Surely soon there will be a decree that only in the morning between 8.00 and 8.05 you may have a crap. But of course only one sheet of toilet paper and only flush once, because anything else would be environmentally harmful.

All this comes from politicians who openly say that they hate Germany. Imagine a minister in the USA saying publicly that he hates his country.

I know this is a poker forum and politics has no place here. But I'm just so angry that I just had to write that.
So mods, if necessary delete my post, no problem.
 
Looks like they have a problem to connect to the regulations servers. They are coordinating the table limits over multiple rooms.
Login to 888 is working, registration to any freeroll tournaments not possible.

Bwin on the PartyPoker Network is working and they are on the same regulatory system as 888. So for me it looks like an 888 problem not a regulatory system problem.

We are not the land of the free, we are the 53 rd federal state of the free ones state. 😉
 
I had the same issue and a manual software update fixed it.

Somehow the automatic update didn't work for me

Manual update? You downloaded the whole thing again?
 
I wonder how the ACR update will work, hopefully it gives a bit more stability.

The manual update did not change anything for 888. Only the annoying Virus scanner popups.
 
All the freerolls for depositers only, the poker club level tourneys and the tourneys I got tickets for are now gone in the lobby.
Is it only me?

autocorrect:
No, the super soft 8-ply*notevenmypillowisthatsoft* and rinse once -> (doesn't want to sink any briquettes),
anything else would be uneconomical
 
Yep, I am in Heidelberg, Germany, and I am in.
Also, I can register for some paid tourney, and few freerolls.
 
Hmmm, duno why I can´t.
Support is also not very helpful. They are just not answering to my requests.
 
So beside me, no other german player seems to have that kind of problem. Look´s like I am the only idiot who cant log-in.
 
Max 4 tables for all regulated rooms together? (Stars, Party, 888, GG) ?
At least we still have ACR without this BS...

I am not able anymore to see and play the CC games at 888 for 1-2 days....
Is anyone of you still able to play there from Germany?
 
I get this message today again (August 2025). Anybody else?
Re-Install did not work in my case.
 
Got it too some hours ago. Now it works after a software update. But the wheel spinner does not work anymore.
