888 winner spinner freerolls

Reason #23424 why i stopped playing there...

It really makes me furious to see this kind of barvarity... and they think that we would be happy to spend x1000 times to get 1%,,, and we cannot withrawall any ammount from cashier otherwise promos will finish without giving any part of it...

I think 888 has the worst promos ive ever tried to win... or participate?,,, lol...

like the happy hour... has to be on the time zone from them which is IDK... but its like 8 horus difference... so my happy hour is like 2-4am..wtf hahahaa (acorrding to their little tiny words in their terms xD)

I think I "just" have to bet $156 before it is released but without the funds to waste I would not be able to release it.

I have played a number of these and will often get ITM and this will often be about 8 cents. Today finally got a good result getting 6th place out of approx 6,000 and making 5.20.

However I have just realized they do not actually pay you this, you only then get this if you wager at least $156 on sports bets. What a con and a waste of time playing these! I wish this had been more apparent.

I think poker to be a skilled game and a game of decision. So they award you a seat to a tournament that supposedly has $200 in prize money but it does not as it is only being used as a rake back on sports betting should you win in the initial tournament.

What a con. And I also try and keep a profit/loss sheet which I still add these tiny wins on which I will need to go through and delete.

Did you realize their freerolls worked like this? What is your feeling on this system?

I very much identify with what you say pjokay! I played several of these tournaments at 888 before I actually won something, and at first I didn't even realise no money had then been paid into my account (because we are only talking small amounts). Instead I kept noticing little bonuses appearing as if from nowhere in the account! However these bonuses involved multiple wagers on sports or casino games before the bet requirements would be met. That was of no interest to me, because they largely relied upon luck, and because the time commitment to playing out the wager was too great. It was irritating.

I even identify with what you say about the profit/loss sheet!! I do that to, and had to separate out actual winnings from potential winnings, once I realised what was happening!

It isn't of course a scam as you acknowledge, and I can understand that they want to attract people away from freerolls to paid tournaments or to casino or sports betting, but it can irritate if you don't realise that you are wasting time trying to win a 'reward' which you won't in fact want to use. All I can say is that everyone needs to carefully read exactly what the 'prize' is in each tournament before starting. I will be doing so in future! 🙂

Yep I've spun probably 40 times and got freeroll ticket all but 1 time when I got a 10cent blast. I've cashed in the freeroll a bunch, never got more than 80cents.

Yesterday was my second run. I got quite lucky and made ~1,20$ also on the first day I made five Cents...
