Black Flag is usually Jolly Rogers, so run away from there as soon as possible.
 
I noticed that long time ago well maybe you need ask this question in official 888 treat if it's still here maybe they can answer all our questions

Lately I have been playing more tourneys on 888 with higher buy ins than I have before. That being said I have noticed when looking at the tourney players in the lobby where you can see where your opponents are from, I have noticed many black flags just saying 888. What does this mean? are they from 888 or are they 888 sponsored pros? are they bots? not sure what they are and it has been bothering me a lot. Mainly because these players play quite strong and run unbelievably good. It kind of has been concerning me a little bit.

These players seem to get lucky in unreal spots and run very deep and take down many big tournaments. They take down big tournaments but they are also playing in small buy tourneys to, I know because I play a wide range of tourneys depending on my bankroll at said time and how I'm feeling in general. Just very curios, I've seen such flags in SNGs, Mtts but never cash, it is semi concerning to me if they are constantly taking big prize money and you don't even know where the hell there from. I like to know where everyone i play against is from because a lot of the times certain countries have certain ways they play for example, the Russians, they all play fairly strong lots of bets, semi loose as a whole, like most players play very similar.

Does anyone have any information for me I'm not aware of, its been tilting me for weeks. Even if they are pros for 888, I want to know where they are playing out of, might make a difference how I play against the players. If there bots, I'm not playing the site anymore ever again. If they work for 888 they should still have to show where they are from. Please help with some good information. Cheers😕😕😕

I agree, I also noticed that they are incredibly lucky. There is a representative of 888 Poker here, let him answer what kind of players they are. I think many people are interested in this question.

if i remember correctly i saw once a comment from 888 rep that those are regulated countrys. i have no idea why they are not showing the flag and for example germany is also heavy regulated and i can still see the german flag.

whatever u might "noticed" in ur whatever small samplesize u played there against these players is meaningless, they are not more lucky than other players in the long run.

So should I move all my funds to 888 cause the site not shown my county's flag?

Don't wanna make fun of you here. I personally would rather have a flag too, since I like to imagine some cultural background of the player who is sitting at the same table as me.

I don't play on 888 but wonder if it is the poker site trying to hide Russian players Identity, Most sites have banned Russian Players because of the War in Ukraine, So It could be one possible reason for the Black flag. Another reason of course could be that these players do not share their Country of Origin on their Profile when they register.
 
read the whole comment still no answer to this question? Yes, I think these are people who removed or did not put the flags of their country when registering, but still people who even do this or other options, then the site allowed them, this means it's legal and they themselves allowed them such rights
