888 Ace the Slopes promotion

[oroochimaru]

Folks, my freeroll tickets are coming in now. :deal: I installed the newest 888 client yesterday. Today everythings working as it should be.
You guys should give it a try, if you still have issues. Dont tell everyone, lets keep it a cardschat exclusive secret *KEK* .
We dont want the hole world to join the freeroll and start playing bingo in our precious poker games. Good luck, see ya at the tables.

Well I never emailed support but was going to,
Just finally got 3 greenrun tickets today, tho I’m sure I’m owed many more, maybe a red too,
I better get the black one tho, I’ve cashed 3 games already

 

[puzzlefish]

That's alright I just deleted 888 entirely and will be playing elsewhere.

Good afternoon.Finally, I got a Green Run ticket by playing cash games.Now, I will try to win more daily tickets and the weekly ones.One more ITM and I should get the monthly ticket.But 888 made a mistake, from the beginning all clients should be part of this promotion, not just a few lucky ones.

 

[orsino12]

I don't know if they actually "fixed" this promotion yet, but I just got my first ticket.

Weirdly it is a Black Run ticket.

Still no Green or Red run tickets and I'm not even going to bother trying to do any challenges until the weekend at the earliest.
I'm pretty much taking a poker break and it's kind of nice.

And here is my 100k ticket

I have earnt my black run ticket through i think it was 5 x $1 blast 3 handed tourneys - to be honest with you - the green freeroll is poor as by the time its hit 3k+ entrants you are lucky to see a $50-$60 1st prize - but hey - its free money in a sense although it actually isnt - not the greatest promotion run by 888 but hey ho.

The Black Run freeroll i am guessing will have 10k plus runners and it will be interesting to see the pay structure...

I got a couple of green run tickets appear without having to beg support. Yes, I know I said I deleted 888 but I can't not play the black run game when I have the tickets for it, so I may as well stick around I guess..

I got 1 Black Run ticket somehow, but I never did get the email from 888.

Just for laughs I just tried a challenge and wagered $5 in the casino (5x $1 bets, broke even), I didn't get a ticket right away, but 10 minutes later I now have my first green run ticket.

Well, looks like it is working for me too now. Three tickets from three cash game hands won with an 8 as one of the hole cards.

Are we going to make a run for the red run tickets or is it too late?

It's looking too late as it seems to be a maximum of three challenges per day. I just spammed some roulette for $15 worth of bets and got nothing. I might do three more cash challenges tomorrow to see if they give me a red run ticket..

Too late for me too this week. I ended up getting 3 green run tickets today, will end up using 2 today so I need to get 2 more tomorrow to play all 3 games.

I'm only going to do the bare minimum number of challenges to get tickets for the games I can actually play.

 

[orsino12]

While I'm glad to finally be able to play these games I really wish I could have played back when the fields were much smaller.

I played 2 Green Run games yesterday and the fields were about 3800 and 1900 (I cashed in the 2nd one for $0.90).
I'm playing the first one of the day right now and the field is nearly 4900. I'm past the bubble and still in i at the break.

I remember seeing the first green run only had 150 players and it was days before there were even 1000.

Edit: I ended up matching the previous game with $0.90. It's not much, but it is 9x the min cash.

Looks like it's finally working for me. Only took 3 weeks, but got some tickets without having to beg support for them.

here it also works since a week. After more than 2 weeks I recieved an answer of the support. apologizes, some credited tickets including a black run, and bla bla..

I play 888 every day, and got my black run ticket right away, and have never got any other type of slopes ticket :s
Today, my antivirus kicked me off 888 with 2 $1 tournaments going, saying it detected a virus. It was different from the virus that gets detected every time I download an upgrade :s
I also noticed today that they've changed the poker club games. There's no level 5 or 10 games, and no cash for any of them except the level 60 and 80 once a month. I don't even know why I play there anymore.. ugh

I noticed that the $100 level 10+ was gone tonight and when I looked a bit deeper I saw the $500 level 20+ is now $640, but only pays 2 spots with $320 tickets.
The weekly $2k level 40+ is now $5450, 50x $109 tickets.

 

[Minakshi]

Ya even I could not find the level 5+ & level 10+

20+ is top two only so doesn't make sense to play anymore, not worth it

 

[ritz_avalanche]

888 poker rocks.

... I don't even know why I play there anymore.. ugh

For the CardsChat freerolls of course! The Level freerolls have been garbage for almost a year now. You'll be lucky to pick up a few dollars here and there in anything up to the Lvl 80+. The only free games really worth playing are the CC games, the higher promotion games (i.e. red and black runs in this promotion), and other occasional special freerolls that show up.

The daily Sports freeroll are now reduced to $500 from $1000

All this shrinkage must only mean that 888 is on the decline.

I think they're moving their spending to twitch streamers and ambassadors.

Sure seems like something is up.
I'm glad I've basically had 1 foot out the door for a while now.

I've noticed a big reduction in what I'm getting from the spins and gift drops too. I'm not complaining, I'm surprised 888 didn't scale me back sooner.

For spins (doing 2 a day) I was getting 3 or 4 $1 BLAST tickets per week, a $5 BLAST every 3 weeks or so and about every 6 weeks I might hit $10 cash or a $5 sports bet.
Now I'm getting about 2 $1 BLAST a week and haven't hit anything else since some time in December.

For Gift Drops I was getting 6-7 $1 BLAST and 1-2 $5 BLAST and 1 $10 cash per week, now maybe 4-5 $1 BLAST and I haven't hit a $5 BLAST in 3 or 4 weeks and about 8 weeks since the last $10 CASH.

It was nice while it lasted, but now I don't bother with most of the freerolls and even playing for gift drops is barely worth it.
