I can understand your frustration🙁
I'm lucky to be on the good time zone to play in but I guess that sometime .... happens and its better to try to stay positive and in your case awake.It's a good value tournament good luck to you🙂
 
Yes that very true! It's a combination of the tourney and the fact Australia has banned poker which took effect this week, my accounts fully operational but my bank no longer allows me to deposit... 🙁 very sad times, was hoping to still get one or 2 more cash MTTs under my belt.
Best of luck to you to!

You know that we have the same problems with bank for years now in Serbia.We can not directly deposit on any gamble site but we use e wallet to deposit and cash out.If your accounts stay operational you will find the way to deposit and cash out.
Good luck with that!
 
Yeah I've been seeing the use of e Wallets through out my reading of different pages, just having a look as we speak.
Thanks for the tip!

Hand of Day Challenge

I got a pop-up screen that tell me that the hand of day was 88 of any suits.

I win a hand with 88, BUT I don't get a pop-up screen saying that I had completed challenge, WHY?

Don't tell me that ticket will be granted in 72 hours, I KNOW..
 
Still waiting on a response from yesterday's blunder on the $10000 70+ freeroll, I'm thinking they on post promotional stuff in here for more business

If you had some Money and intend to open na account in a bank and make a deposit on it and you had 3 options:
1) Bank PS where you make the deposit and when you need the Money back and make a withdraw it is quite simple and you receive the credit in few minutes;
2) Bank PP where you make the deposit and when you need the Money back and make a withdraw it is quite simple and you receive the credit in 1 hour at most;
3) Bank 888 you make the deposit and when you need the Money back and make a withdraw it is totally complicate and you receive the credit only after 5 business days.

Where you would put your Money?

Bank 1, 2 or 3 considering that when you need to use the Money for something you do not want to wait 5 business days i.e almost 1 week but the Money immediate available for you?

Because when you offer the deposit it is so simple and accept the Money immestiaely but when you need to give back the player´s Money you create this bizarre burocracy and delay... There is no reasonable explanation for that and this is why you have so few players and the other rooms have so much more players...And when they discover this difficulty to get the Money they never more put Money at 888 again!!
And if I were a aperson considering to put Money at 888 for the first time I would take this difficulty into consideration to give up from 888 and prefer PS and PP...

I have passed your feedback over to the team for you.

Hey Guys,
Between 05:00 - 06:00 GMT tomorrow morning, we will be performing maintenance which is expected to cause client downtime of up to an hour. We will suspend registration to SNG's at 03:30 and to Blast at 05:40. Tournaments that would normally be running at that time will either be cancelled or given a more turbo structure (only for this occurrence). Cash games will not be available either during this time.
Thanks for your patience.
 
Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: March 26th 2017

Big Winners at 888poker + Dominik Nitsche twitches his win at Saturday’s Octopus:

Another 888poker Sunday has been and gone, with big winners – and even bigger prize pools – across the board.

We also saw our very own 888poker ambassador Dominik Nitsche take down the Octopus LIVE on Twitch!
Check out the final action here.

Mega-Deep + Baby Whale

888poker’s biggest tournament last night – The Mega-Deep, drew in 667 players, each investing $215 for an entry ticket.
Canada’s “OO6007” finished 3rd, with $13,340, whilst in 2nd place we saw 1 of the 4 Brazilians in the final 12 – “thulinho” - leaving with $18,009.
After close to 13.5 hours of play, “B_thebenlar” (last month’s“baby-Whale” winner) managed to take the victory for Canada, bagging himself a whopping $25,012!

In our second largest tourney “Baby Whale” we saw an international final table with some high-level poker and strong aggressive play.
One to notice is “romeopro33” who made yet another final table after reaching HU last week in the Mega-Deep.
Getting to the top 3, we saw some fearless poker with the chip-leader identity constantly changing.
“MisterN411” was the one to finish as top dog, claiming a prize just shy of $20,000!

Sunday Crocodile

410 players took part in this mid-high stakes tourney for a shot at winning BIG.
It took Germany’s “luckyr1ver” over 10.5 hours to wrap it up and secure a well-earned $11,801!

Sunday Lightning 6-Max, Sunday Challenge and Mini Mega-Deep all end with shaking hands

Starting with this week’s Sunday Challenge, 702 players who rebought 308 times created a massive prize-pool of over $85,000!
YordanPetrov” and “Graftekkel” shook hands, assuring the bigger stack of “YordanPetrov” an exit of $14,318.
“Graftekkel” managed to secure the win and leave with $13,185.

In this week’s Sunday Lightning 6-max, we saw 223 players making 85 rebuys in the action packed 6 player format.
Sweden’s “B.Mitchell” and “Mikel_Hansen” stroked a deal granting each player over $5,700.

In yesterday’s Mini Mega-Deep, we saw UK’s “benkins84” strike a deal with Romania’s “tofanlucian”.
Each of the top 2 left with roughly $5,500 after an investment of just $22!

Sunday Breeze + Deepstack Swordfish + Mini Turbo Mega-Deep

The 3 “low buy-ins” tourneys, well surpassed their guarantees, offering players the chance to win significant amounts.

1,075 players entered the Swordfish, creating an over $5,300 1st place prize for a $30 investment!
Brazil’s “lpmassia” took it down.

Looking at the other 2 tourneys, we saw Brazil’s “luish64” taking 2! runner ups, one with a deal!
The Brazilian player is no doubt extremely satisfied about turning a $77 investment into $7,636!

Germany’s “O.G.Pageka” was ahead of the Brazilian in the Breeze and Poland’s “ubinhhho” got the best of the Brazilian in the Mini turbo.

Saturday’s Octopus – taken down by 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche

Germany’s 3-times bracelet winner took the Octopus down good for $7,742!
We’d could tell you about a crazy hand played by the final 3, but you can watch it play out on Dom’s closing Twitch Here instead.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/131226977


What to watch out for this week:



You could get your hands on a $4,000 Grand All in Tournament ticket EVERY DAY when you

But today no challenge.

Well, I haven't received my ticket for winning with KK yet and I won with AJs today, but no pop up saying that I completed the challenge, so not so lucky.
 
Same with allin hand didnt receive any ticket so I give up.

Dont want to sound arrogant, but I know how you can solve these reoccuring problems for good and this will save time for both 888players and support and if you need future advice on how to improve things and how to make things more smooth let me know, I am willing to give solutions for all of your minor problems. 😀

Just respond haha 😛
 
Another thing I cant fully understand is why some sites stick so badly to $ games while they dont even offer games to US players for a decade,I know you prolly even longer as I played the good old pacific poker as one of my first pokersites ever
, if biggest part of your playerpool is European why not change balance and games into euro's. I mean this would save a big part of current playerpool lots of FX both ways , I think this would be both good for players and 888poker. they deposit a larger amount (more play and rake) and cashout larger amounts which otherwise end up in pockets bankers from FX.
