For the first time, I won $3 sports bet a few days ago on the daily wheel spin; but I still can not seem to find where it is located. It makes sense that it is not under "tournament tickets" which is where the other rewards from the wheel are listed that I won like the .10 blast, $3000K freeroll, etc - but where do they put it? 🙂

Go to 888poker lobby - then you'd see links to 888casino and 888sports - go to 888sports - somewhere in the left side of screen, below "my bets" is my freebets or smth like that and there your 3$ freebet is ... i guess
Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: March 31, 2019
Andrew “TakeTheRide” Neeme Streams Worldwide on 888poker!
From March 28-31, popular vlogger Andrew Neeme, who has over 110,000 subscribers on YouTube, took his popular meet-up games worldwide while streaming on 888poker from Calgary, Canada. For three days, Neeme played a variety of stakes and games, which included a “home game” on Saturday night.
Additionally, Neeme was on the Sunday grind participating in some of 888poker’s premiere online tournaments under his “TakeTheRide.” That included firing a bullet in the $55 buy-in Rake or Break Monsoon, a tournament that drew 265 players who rebought 69 times. Neeme wound up making a deep run in it ultimately finishing in 17th place for $183.70.
Neeme also played in the $530 Whale and $109 Sunday Challenge, though he fell short of cashing in both of them. Still, it was an exciting run for Neeme’s legion of fans as they were truly taken for a ride as he flirted with capturing an 888poker title!
Canada’s Tim “REALTTWIST” Kelly Wins Sunday Mega Deep
The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep had 313 players rebuy 129 times in their quest to capture a portion of a $100,000 prize pool. Among the top 45 finishers to make the money were “Namlleh” (29th - $650), Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskyi (24th - $750), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (14th - $1,250), “GuvGuv37” (6th - $4,400), and “inkhole” (3rd - $11,000).
After 10 hours and 38 minutes, it was Canada’s Tim “REALTTWIST” Kelly besting Mexico’s “TonyCipolla9” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $19,350 first-place prize. It was actually the second time Kelly has won the Mega Deep having done so back on November 19, 2017.
“ThEtRaIN96” Wins Rake or Break Whale for Second Time in a Month
The $530 buy-in Rake or Break Whale had a $100,000 target but fell short when 141 players rebought 35 times to generate an $88,000 prize pool. Among those to compete in the rakefree tournament but fall short of the money were Neeme, Sam “sammygrinder” Grafton, and 888poker Ambassadors Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson and Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche.
The top 18 players got paid including “bybababy” (15th - $1,892), “plomaha” (9th - $2,200), Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson (6th - $4,400), and Anton “anteen” Bertilsson (4th - $7,920). After “alwayswin111” bowed out in third place for $10,692, the title came down to “ThEtRaIN96” and “IggyGak.” It took 7 hours and 23 minutes but eventually the former prevailed to take down the $20,240 first-place prize.
Back on March 3, “ThEtRaIN96” topped a 92-entry field to win the $530 Whale for $15,812.50 meaning he won one of 888poker’s most prestigious titles two times in the same month.
“888topPair” Denies “DeuceofDuc0” Rake or Break Sunday Challenge Title
The $109 buy-in Rake or Break Challenge had a $27,500 target and nearly hit is by drawing 210 players who rebought 58 times. That meant a $26,800 prize pool was up for grabs and it was all rakefree. Among the top 27 players to get a piece of it were “Namlleh” (22nd - $268), “JamzMTL” (14th - $402), “creature94” (7th - $1,072), “ZDamian” (4th - $2,345), and “todacage” (3rd - $3,149).
After 7 hours and 51 minutes in the tournament, “888topPair” defeated “DeuceofDuc0,” who back in mid-February won the Whale and on March 10 took down the Mega Deep for nearly $20K, in heads-up play to win $5,762.
“xxAYADxx” Weathers the Rake or Break Monsoon to Win $3,415
The $55 buy-in Rake or Break Monsoon had a $17,500 target, but it failed to hit as 265 players rebought 69 times to create a $16,700 prize pool. That meant the tournament became rake free!
The top 36 players got paid including “Pokerpatch” (25th - $141.95), “nlfreddie” (15th - $225.45), “kory1977” (9th - $317.30), “imnumerouno” (4th - $1,419.50), and “dyonvlaar12” (4th - $1,887.10). After 7 hours and 17 minutes, “xxAYADxx” defeated “icho90” in heads-up play to win the title and $3,415.15 top prize.
It was a bit of redemption for “xxAYADxx,” who earlier this month finished second in the $88 Sunday PKO 8-Max for $1,748 plus $1,523 in bounties.

Hello ,
Is there an official way to downgrade the 888 poker client?
Feedback
-The action buttons(fold , call , raise) are way too small and close together plus the betting buttons too small, they are not convenient at all!
-Let your clients to choose between the old and the new skin, by forcing them use only the new skin caused a lot of bad feedback.
-888 client was one of the simplest but fast!
Thanks

I am experiencing problems with the new software of 888 poker at my desktop.
The game simply does not work well and the table one shows the play if I make an ALT + TAB, going to another window and backing to the window of the game table.
You should reconsider this new software, or, at least, make posible to the player use the previous edition of the game.
Yesterday, I only could play the game at my ipad. At the desktop was simply impossible.

FYI,
Hi all,
We are aware that there are players who are not happy with the current version of the poker software they are on. For those players we would like to give them the opportunity to rollback to Poker 7 until the next version of Poker 8 (that will address feedback and have significant improvements) will be released, we have come up with a temporary solution.
As the solution is a bit complicated to post, we have established a process where members can contact us at [email protected] with subject line “Take me to Poker 7” and we will send them an email that gives them directions on how to revert to Poker 7. It will also inform them that in the next version, they will be able to go to Poker 7 via settings in the new (Poker 8) client.
It is also important to let them know that in the next Poker 8 version, they will also have the ability to revert back to the Poker 7 from the settings in the software.
Regards
888Rep

I won a $5 freeplay at 888casino from ScratchCard for moving 5 levels on 888poker, but I have never played any casino games before. 🙂
Any suggestions on what would be best chance to turn $5 freeplay into real money with no experience in casino games?

Welcome to 888poker’s XL Blizzard Daily Recap
Yesterday: April 5, 2019
“Liquidus38” & “Potovics” Capture Titles on Day 2 of the 2019 XL Blizzard
On Friday, two more tournaments from the 34-event schedule of the XL Blizzard wrapped up. The series, which will offer more than $1.7 million in guaranteed prize pools over its 11 days, saw two Progressive Knock Out tournaments take place and award $56,820 in prize money.
Through two days the XL Blizzard has catered to 5,019 entrants and awarded $207,445 in prize money.
“Potovics” Finally Nabs Himself a XL Title
The $55 buy-in Event #4: $30,000 PKO drew 489 players who rebought 164 times. That resulted in a $32,700 prize pool that was split down the middle with $16,350 going into both the regular and bounty pools.
The top 63 players got paid including “zapara678” (33rd for $89.78 + $125 in bounties), “KumoZing” (19th for $97.95 + $107.03 in bounties), 888poker ambassador Ana “AnaMarquez” Marquez (17th for $130.60 + $301.57 in bounties), “Sergio1306” (6th for $693.81 + $317.97 in bounties), and “Brunsonskid” (3rd for $1,673.31 + $190.62 in bounties).
After 9 hours and 19 minutes in the tournament, “Potovics” bested “Hodor83” in heads-up play to win the title, a $3,101.95 top prize, and $2,633.05 in bounties. You might remember that last May “Potovics” finished runner-up in the XL Inferno Event #116: $10,000 Monday Flush.
“Liquidus38” Captures Second XL Blizzard Title for Russia
The $22 buy-in XL Blizzard Event #5: $20,000 Mini PKO surpassed its guarantee by drawing 911 players who rebought 295 times. The 1,206-entry field generated a $24,120 total prize pool with $12,060 going to the regular pool and the same amount to the bounty pool.
Among those to finish in the top 117 and cash were “PiktasVilkas” (57th for $34.97 + $20 in bounties), “Walkanator” (28th for $49.44 + $42.19 in bounties), “Bamasa1” (11th for $126.63 + $210.15 in bounties), “KQueenD” (5th for $607.82 + $161.88 in bounties), and “OMGKondio” (3rd for $1,169.82 + $289.22 in bounties).
The title came down to Russia’s “Liquidus38” and Germany’s “PrinzRussel,” and after 7 hours and 50 minutes the former prevailed to win a $2,171.29 first-place prize plus the $1,372.72 progressive bounty. He also became the second Russian to win a XL Blizzard in as many days as “plomoor” took down Event #1: $100,000 Opening Event for $16,458.50 on Friday.
Here’s What is Coming Up on Saturday
Saturday is going to get crazy as three more XL Blizzard tournaments will take place. At 18:00 GMT, both the $88 buy-in Event #6: $30,000 Crazy 8 and the $8.80 buy-in Event #7: $10,000 Mini Crazy 8 will kick off. They will be followed by the $44 buy-in Event #8: $10,000 Late Crazy 8 at 20:00 GMT.

I assume you just weren't playing them but also did it succesfully right ...
As for me then it looks like i've luxury to wait forever for money(even if it's just couple dollars) after my sports bet won but my balance is still 0 ... 🙄

Play for fun is also the game and for someone the method to get funny. I am not that kind of player who will be start transferring 10$ 100$ or 1000$ into poker room. So player, who is only waste time and plays only freeroll tournaments, should not be kicked.
Of course, i don't think that the reason was passive playing, but i don't have any ideas.
I am playing poker, because i like this game, and not, not for getting rich or close it.
Welcome to 888poker’s XL Blizzard Daily Recap
Yesterday: April 6, 2019
Day 3 of the 2019 XL Blizzard
Saturday was a big day for the 888poker XL Blizzard, which was the third day of the 11-day series. That meant eight events from the 34-event schedule are in the books. With more than $1.7 million in guaranteed prize pools, the XL Blizzard will keep the snowball rolling until its conclusion next weekend.
Remember, all you have to do is play in five XL Blizzard events and you’ll receive a qualifier ticket into a freeroll at the end of the series. That freeroll will not only award a $12,600 package for the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, but also three – that’s right THREE – $2,700 packages to the 2019 WSOP Event #64: $888 Crazy 8’s tournament.
Speaking of Crazy 8 action, that’s what Saturday was all about!
Canada’s “dujoe123” Wins Crazy 8 for $5,850
The $88 buy-in Event #6: $20,000 Crazy 8 attracted 269 players who rebought 96 times. That meant a $30,000 prize pool was up for grabs and distributed among the top 40 players including “KToFTW” (25th - $201), “CoinShipper” (18th - $300), “INEEDLOVEE” (11th - $600), “Underlay1” (5th - $1,650), and “sherblemon” (3rd - $3,300).
The title came down to the UK’s “Lunatikas7” and Canada’s “dujoe123.” After 7 hours and 26 minutes, the latter came out on top to win a $5,850 first-place prize.
The Mini Crazy 8 Ends in Heads-Up Deal
The Event #7: $8.80 Mini Crazy 8 had a $10,000 guarantee which it surpassed by attracting 1,105 players who rebought 457 times. That created a $12,504 prize pool paid out to the top 144 spots. Among those to make a deep run were “Fulldonk1” (35th - $42.48), “be2become” (21st - $62.48), “PHX1001” (10th - $112.46), “Pyzdakas1” (7th - $249.92), and “Whitehair1” (4th - $937.20).
After Argentina’s “FedeJanices” (3rd - $1,249.60) bowed out in third place for $1,249.60, the final two players struck a deal that saw Romania’s “LHadar” finish as runner-up for $1,585.49 while the UK’s “flipsticks” took the title and $2,317.48 in prize money.
“DiCarpi0” Wins the Late Crazy 8

Yesterday: April 6, 2019
Day 3 of the 2019 XL Blizzard
Saturday was a big day for the 888poker XL Blizzard, which was the third day of the 11-day series. That meant eight events from the 34-event schedule are in the books. With more than $1.7 million in guaranteed prize pools, the XL Blizzard will keep the snowball rolling until its conclusion next weekend.
Remember, all you have to do is play in five XL Blizzard events and you’ll receive a qualifier ticket into a freeroll at the end of the series. That freeroll will not only award a $12,600 package for the 2019 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, but also three – that’s right THREE – $2,700 packages to the 2019 WSOP Event #64: $888 Crazy 8’s tournament.
Speaking of Crazy 8 action, that’s what Saturday was all about!
Canada’s “dujoe123” Wins Crazy 8 for $5,850
The $88 buy-in Event #6: $20,000 Crazy 8 attracted 269 players who rebought 96 times. That meant a $30,000 prize pool was up for grabs and distributed among the top 40 players including “KToFTW” (25th - $201), “CoinShipper” (18th - $300), “INEEDLOVEE” (11th - $600), “Underlay1” (5th - $1,650), and “sherblemon” (3rd - $3,300).
The title came down to the UK’s “Lunatikas7” and Canada’s “dujoe123.” After 7 hours and 26 minutes, the latter came out on top to win a $5,850 first-place prize.
The Mini Crazy 8 Ends in Heads-Up Deal
The Event #7: $8.80 Mini Crazy 8 had a $10,000 guarantee which it surpassed by attracting 1,105 players who rebought 457 times. That created a $12,504 prize pool paid out to the top 144 spots. Among those to make a deep run were “Fulldonk1” (35th - $42.48), “be2become” (21st - $62.48), “PHX1001” (10th - $112.46), “Pyzdakas1” (7th - $249.92), and “Whitehair1” (4th - $937.20).
After Argentina’s “FedeJanices” (3rd - $1,249.60) bowed out in third place for $1,249.60, the final two players struck a deal that saw Romania’s “LHadar” finish as runner-up for $1,585.49 while the UK’s “flipsticks” took the title and $2,317.48 in prize money.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look at both of these at 888casino and try to win a little money hopefully. 🙂

OK, I tried Irish Riches. I had a $1 free play and a $5 free play. I'm not even sure I did it right, but I clicked on spin. The $1 spin said I won $3.25 at the top of the page. The $5 spin, I got to spin twice. The first time it said I won $0.00. The second time it said I won $6.10. No money was added to my cash balance
But my bonus balance changed. It changed +$1 when I spun Irish Riches game with $1 dollar freeplay, and then changed $5 more when I finished 2 spins of $5 freeplay. Also, I have 2 "Immediate Bonuses" in my account after playing and using the freeplays. $1 Casino Bonus + $5 Hot Bonus (plus I have .20 bonus from a casino poker tournament last weekend).
But I thought I just used these bonuses. Why are they showing up as bonus balance and the money 'won' on Irish Riches I don't see. I'm confused???
