888 Connection Issues

[canabero]

today i open the software and it's working good but all registration to tournamnets has been denied. only some few cash tables are able to play.

Thanks for shifting the issues to this thread dakota xx.

Let's try and see what's going on instead of belly-aching about the problems...

I use Win 8.1 pro and Win 7 pro and could not access the site with the regular software. I tried with instant client on Chrome on both operating systems and no go again. I swapped to Win 10 and the regular software didn't work but the instant client worked...(I managed to bust out in one hand in the level up tourney).

I kept my task manager running during all instances to see what was taking place to isolate the programs involved with this site and saw what I expected. Linux has far more tools to assess what is going on (Server ID, locale ping response time... etc...) but I have no intention of using Linux for gaming....other than Steam

Could some people look into their machines and see what, if anything, is not working or at least identify the servers that are establishing contact? Above all, don't state anything compromising. This is a perfect time for hackers to obtain access to accounts with everyone attempting multiple log ins.

It has nothing to do with what PC you have. At the moment every tourney is cancelled or has zero entries, the issue is on 888's side. Belly acher.

fair play to 888 they credited my account 6dollars more than buy in hope they are ok and they can fix their problems as lot players really like that site as it is one of the best.:top:

I understand that the problem is on the server side and with another operating system on a different (accelerated hardware) system and by using some decent network tools you can pretty much map out 888's entire server side presence. From that point you can then seek out a connection rather than doing it randomly. I just find it more practical to address an issue and come to a consensus on how to deal with it for everyone's benefit rather than bemoaning the problems encountered.


I played on other sites rather than wasting my time.

Got disconnected while trapping a fish in 10NL when i flopped quad 6's with a pocket pair. Is it worth complaining or will they not care? Still cant get on...

I'm brand new to this poker site. At the time I've made my registration everything was alright .Yesterday I've been disconnected , since then I'm not able to connect. That's annoying.When this things will end. What the support says ?

 

[wlad20082009]

Again stopped work ! This morning was still working . However, this is starting to get annoying .

 

[akmost]

I have the same issues as all of you , instant play doesn't work as well but I can access the lobby and some tournaments are running with participants from EU/non EU. How is that possible?

 

[Insomnia6590]

When you expect to fix it problem?

 

[Edison A]

I have the same problem, I thought it only happened to me

 

[UnderTokerr]

Been dropped in the middle of two tournaments i was trying to play in .. been very frustrating

angry about 888poker

i just tried to register in the 1000$ level 30 , in 888poker . But there is a probleme , registration time has been started for 12 min now , but no one is registered and when I try to register , the lobby of the tournament doesn’t show the button to register . Anyone facing the same problem ??

I am german, excuse my bad english. I am really nerved about 888poker in moment. Ok it isnt big money, but i am in there with bankroll 66,79 $ and it is impossible to engage the lobby. Allways conection errors. But my internet is ok anywhere elsewhere. Next i will loss 4 tickets. Damm it .... i am nerved.

 

[Arpad Muzslao]

It is quite annoying when I'm playing some tournamernt for an hour, 888 Poker crashes then I can't log in annymore.

 

[miamia]

I am not even try to open.Shame.I am liked to play Cardschat event on sunday and have one ticket for i phone tournament,but ok!

 

[Polytarp]

I was able to register into the Barcelona free roll with the instant client on Win 10 but attempts to register into tourneys with thin fields and a large guaranteed prize pool fail with an "error encountered" message. If I could register for some of these games and if I was unable to play then perhaps I could squeak into a prize just by sitting out.

Here are a few articles that directly/indirectly address what's taking place at 666 ….I mean 888 :

I guess you gotta be lucky even to register for these games and not just lucky during them!

I wanted to make a deposit in 888, but in light of the latest problems. the desire to send money to them was lost.

6th day in a row. Maybe they are trying to break a record for bad connections.

888 internet connection error

Today I am having troubles getting into 888 poker, I have had this problem before but after a few mins or restarts it will work.
I'm signed into pokerstars and that is working fine, when I try to log into 888 it says I have a connection problem.
Thanks

 

[hugh blair]

Pity was looking forward to 10k crown and few micros.

 

[Peppinotom]

It is really to see, that a " big" site like 888 takes longer to defend against DDoS than ACR.
Hope they will be back and working fine soon.

888, we miss you!!!

The sites should work together to find out, who sends these Attacks and send them to jail forever.

 

[BobbyMorton]

I cant get into 888.

 

[Gr34tWh1t3]

i loset a few tickets there , they expired I rly hope they get things sorted out , i havent played for that long on the site but was my new fav place to play poker.

re-install pokersoftware...what windows you use ???

The problem wasn’t in poker software,it was an attack, all users couldn’t connect to their accounts .I use windows 10

This problem is day two,I noticed on 888 it is often found...

Yes , they fix it but the problem happens again . 888 must limit thoses kind of things

I never had problems with 888 until yesterday's freeroll. The only small problem is that when I open the user settings, the site closes. Yesterday I could not go to the site. All the time threw out the window - there is no connection, check your internet.Today at lunch I tried and went.

Yes , everything is back to normal the only problem is that this may happen again .

Sometimes I also have this problem.
But yesterday, during the game there were no problems.

Good for you. Thanks for your answer

I played last time. Bai Inn $ 12.
To me this money was returned to the account.
But you need to contact customer support.
Automatically they do not return.

That s good . If the problem is from them , they give the money back

 

[Chalada12]

I get it that they are in constant ddos attack. But, for how long? For three days in a row I'm having trouble playing or entering 888 Lobby. Even if I do get in, I will be disconnected for a mysterious reason.
So, Can someone explain? Why they can't solve the issue and move on. Is anyone else here having trouble accessing this poker network?
888Poker is sure in some deep trouble they don't want us to know about?
Anyway, This is just what I think, in reality I don't actually have any idea what is going on. They won't say anything. They just tweeted out about their server disturbance and apologised nothing more from them officially come yet.

What do you guys thing actually going on?

Yes everyone who was in the problem receive an email saying « sorry » , but that s not enough, it d a big company, such things shouldn’t happen. ( but at least u won t lose ur money , if u lost something during the attacks contact them , they ll refund

5 days in a row and I'm still having connection issues.

I can't even login today.

Yes , it s fixed now

I deposit money and site stop to work....almost every day is same

That happens sometimes in 888 . Good luck in tables . Everything is fine now

lol today i cant login in 888 they say some tehnical problems...

Yes , many user are facing the prob

The 888 poker lobby has just started operating . Couldn't come in for two days .

Yes it s good now

All the sites seem to be having trouble off and on the last couple of months.

I wonder if 888 will compensate like PokerStars did.

Yeah , that might happen but would it be a solution to stop it

i
The site acted strange for the past week , yesterday i couldnt log into it no matter what from phone or pc...

Same forme , now everything good

thank you for the answer, very good , the only good thing is that if someone use the money during the attacks , all they have to is to contact support to get refunds

Very irritating only have registered for small tournament and looking at this making me dizzy.

Contact them , they will refund .

So this continues.. I have been trying to grind out my bonuses and have not got anything accomplished except a few short sessions of SNAP on the web-app since its impossible to multitable. Its strange tho, because sometimes it will work on one device then not on the other and vice versa, but the majority of the time it doesn't work on any of my devices.

I really hope they get this sorted out soon. I feel bad for anyone who has money in a tourney or something to get disconnected. 888 is my favorite site, I really hope the find a way to stop the attacks on the servers.

Yes it s a very bad thing to happen , but it s good for now

I was able to connect no problem but when I try to register an error occurs. They must be losing money, the $200 guaranteed $0.50 buy in had 27 players.

Bad thing . I think things are back to normal now and I guess that they did suffer from the attack’s

888's software was created in a toilet.
