What happened to 888?

[Sunz of Beaches]

I'd stop playing there if I was you, they are definitely picking on you compared to the other Canadian's that have replied stating that nothing has changed for them.

Well to be fair to him there are definitely problems there atm. Me myself i had problems with my latest withdrawal and only after sending tons of documents and contacting 2 reps, the money was released 👍

I've been playing on 888 for 11 years and never had any problems with withdrawals. The only thing is, they banned me from making sports bets without explaining the reason. But they told me I can still play poker and casino.

The most likely reason they banned you from sports betting is that you were winning at it, ie costing them money.

I was being sarcastic, he seems quite adamant that the freerolls have decreased significantly too, but many in the thread have said otherwise.

I haven't had access to 888 since 2017, but before that, I never had an issue with withdrawals.

The withdrawal takes more than 4 days, even with skrill. But I love 888 poker . I have never been problems with them.👍

We can't bet on sports in Hungary either, because they would have to pay taxes to the Hungarian state and they don't want that. Isn't that what you have in Ukraine too?

Yeah i understood that u were being sarcastic.

Freerolls did 100 % not decrease, they did actually increase lol and apart from my last withdrawal i also never had any real problems but lately there are tons of general issues regarding verifications and withdrawals. Support thread(s) here and on other platforms are e full with affected people complaining.

 

[Vrotebal]

What happened? Everyone is in place. People are playing well. I didn't see any problems.

nothing wrong with 888 around here except for connection issues when playing there and Party Poker at the same time. You can try to post on 888 support channel here in CardsChat

888 is the only decent site this days.

I don’t think so. I only won about $300, and that’s not nearly enough to justify banning me. Plus, I didn’t break any rules. They simply reviewed my account and decided to restrict me from sports betting.

No, others from Ukraine are still able to place bets, so I don’t think that’s the reason either.

The only thing I can suggest at this stage is to contact the CC 888 rep in this thread, https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-rooms-10/official-888-poker-support-thread-512681/unread that is if you haven't already done so.

 

[mssmotilda]

I've never had any problems with them, I really hope that everything will be fine with them.

Good morning everyone! 888poker has been offering poker, sports betting, and casino services for decades. There's no news from any poker news website that 888poker has committed any action that harms players.
888poker is one of the most trusted sites in the world. Regarding freerolls, the site offers numerous daily freerolls, monthly ones for $5,000 and $10,000, and a weekly one for $3,000. In addition, it offers several tickets for playing MTTs and cash games. In three days, there's a $20,000 freeroll.

Now, compare the 888poker freerolls vs. PokerStars.

 

[Uncloggie]

I guess I should check my account. I haven't played in a while

 

[DoruFish]

I don't know.. at 888 things have changed everywhere.. clearly there are fewer freerolls but they are still there compared to other sites.I haven't withdrawn lately. For Romania it's good... they put two freerolls daily.

 

[EarnDAStack]

I had to make a minimum deposit to sync up my e-transfer to withdrawal from GG.

I know it's not the same site but it may be the same thing.

I don't get why people (especially Canadians) are so afraid to make a deposit on poker sites.

We can literally link up interact e-transfers, it's a technology the government made the banks work together to create so we could move money around between Canadians for free.

Their other withdrawal options probably cost them money which is why they don't want you to use them.

P.S. what is the actual value of farming 888's freerolls? I'm sure you could have a higher hourly playing $0.01/$0.02 without much effort

Not sure if u read more than the first post itt but OP is afraid because there are lots problems regarding withdrawals there atm.

 

[pltelles]

In terms of freerolls, they're the best. But withdrawals are really complicated; I'm seeing a lot of complaints. My account was validated and I could withdraw normally, but this year they blocked my withdrawals. I had to send my documents again and make a new deposit, so I was able to withdraw again.

 

[edenman1]

Yup, its sad.. But its been coming for a while. I will miss it

 

[veszmo]

I just requested a withdrawal, and the money was in my Skrill account in about 60 seconds.
