888 Ace the Slopes promotion

[puzzlefish]

Got the pop up yesterday so today I tried a challenge just to test it and still nothing.

I got that popup a while ago too. It doesn't seem to be related to whether or not your account gets tickets, unfortunately.

 

[puzzlefish]

One more Green Run freeroll for $1.70, for one level past min-cash.

 

[balo]

I mini cash all the time, great fun. But havent been able to finish the monthly challenge yet .

 

[puzzlefish]

It must be convenient not to have to beg 888support for tickets lol

New Promotion

I love all of the promotions and incentives that all of the companies provide… incentives make you feel a little better about making decisions as to which company to poker with.

Has anyone had the promo show up in the challenges screen? I haven't seen a pop-up or any indication of the promo when I complete one of the challenges.

An agent with 888support told me the promotion doesn't show up under the challenges screen.

I sent them an email to their support today because I play cash games there everyday and never received any ticket, but they should have already fixed the problem by now.

 

[puzzlefish]

Playing cash can get you 3 challenges done daily easily, but support still expects you to wait 72 hours before asking them for tickets. Hmmm.

Alright, I have 3 in-the-money MTTs today - two penny-buys and a $25 MTT that were super low risk and low effort. I also have 100+ hands won playing cash games, so I should be able to get the main event ticket this month. I will try to do the same in February so that I can have two of them. If the main event is anything like last time, it will be a flight system with two days of play and if you make it to day 2, all your other tickets will be worthless.

In the meantime I fullfilled more challanges, but still recieved no tickets for the Ace of Slopes, neither an answer of the 888 support which I emailed a week ago...

I immediately get a ticket as soon as I win with an eight in a cash game.

That's my plan as well, will cash in 3 MTTs. Lets hope the ticket will arrive.

I got a couple of black run tickets today. Tickets still not getting credited without support.

Green run tickets

I’ve completed challenges even playing hands I have no right being in just to do it and still no ticket anyone know what’s up

 

[Brokenlegg]

Ticket

I immediately get a ticket as soon as I win with an eight in a cash game.

I’ve played every 8 I get winning
but still no ticket

 

[balo]

I get daily tickets all the time, but I bet $5 on Sports.

I believe these 5.- bets must be with min odds 1.50 right ...
Either way made similar bet some days ago - still waiting for that ticket lol

Yes. Unfortunately, if they do not get awarded to you right away they are not coming without you begging 888support to award them manually.

That's strange , I must be one of the lucky ones. My tickets are credited within seconds.

Sigh, as usual when a new promotion at 888 begins the challenges don't work for me.
I just did both the tournament and casino challenges and got 0 tickets.
Extra annoying since I lost about $30 doing the casino challenge thanks to a horrific run, had 1 win, 1 push and 14 losses in 16 hands of BJ.

I feel you on this, hate trying to complete their challenges, lose money and not get the tickets. It's happened to many times

 

[Cooking]

After I sent an email to their support, they took 3 days to answer me and gave me 3 tickets..lol
I should have won a lot more tickets and it's a lot of work to sent them email everyday to beg for tickets

If it's the same "bug" as usual with the 888 promotions, everyone will start getting tickets after the 10k freeroll on Sunday.

Oh i see, thats why i didn't get any tickets after finishing several challenges. Still not working after downloading and installing the most recent 888 client version. Hope the hurry up with the fix, it has been weeks.
It's a tremendous shame that a well-known stock market company like 888 has always had issues with its freerolls.
What do you guys think about the 1 minute level change from previous 3 minutes? Cant get deeper than min cash after that change. Everyone is just all-inning with any hand. Those new freerolls feel more like pure casino games...

Yup, there isn't much poker left in this promotion. It's a bingo slot machine game now.

Still playable.
Luckily other 888 freerolls are NEVER going to be with 10 min blinds lol.
