People have never deposited and have MTT winnings for thousands of dollars. It displays how much you have won, not deposited or spent.
I'm curious, not seeing any negative winnings??? No Losers on 888? Only shows wins I guess and not profit/loss?

Has anyone seen negative numbers on the winnings lines?

..... I'm not seeing the privacy issue... it's stats of games played on their site, nothing to do with a private bank account, ....I could go to sharkscope or other sites and look up poker stats if I wanted... turn them off if it bothers you so much, personally I'd enjoy a look at my opponents stats instead of focusing so much on my own👍

Its total MTT winnings, not total profit or deposits.

Cash games only show vpip, pfr and 3bet, so no measure of total winnings
Your point is correct, however think blast shows too :) This stat could prove very useful as big blasts winners are most likely regs at that game

888 has incorporated a hud into their tables, similar to GG, what do you think?
I love it!!
Hope partypoker goes same way, don't tell me there aren't homebrewed HUDs for Party, at least this way is much fairer, everyone gets access to some basic stats!

Still will take me a little while to feel comfortable with this.
I have no issues with stats on display, I just feel that total earnings have no place there and are not something that is needed to be known by others.
If it's to be a measurement of ranking, there are many other ways of doing so. Being displayed as or based on monetary value is not one I personally find appropriate. I find it as a misleading representation of ranking (if ranking is the intention).
Total or overall winnings should be private.
Not my intention to whine on and on.

As for me, such innovations only make 888 look more like GGPoker. I don't consider the disclosure of such information to be a violation of players' rights, but I think it would be better without all these new stupid new features.

It may be deemed as private information but you can find similar information on sharkscope and poker pro labs, would be a completely different story if they showed how much has been deposited.
Poker Pro Labs is currently no longer available. Their software even with subscription is no longer working because their servers are no longer functional.

He is lying just as usual. There is no option to remove it.

there is an option - just don't play 888 and no one will see it


of course there are other options, you have a brain and a head with which to come up with ideas
criticizing is always easy

I quite like it, my MTTs winnings was only $81.77 I need to up my game one of my opponents was a 92 grand 😲, I added $1.55 to that last night for finishing 11th

Most of my money in 888 was from SnGs but the buggers stopped those games 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭, my favourite 888 how could you!!!!!

I tried what was told in the thread but it didn't went off so i just leave it as it is

I see that some players have removed it - so it is possible

it may only be available to players from certain countries

I guess that 1. update hasn't been rolled out globally yet; 2. Stats don't show until a few hands have been played.

I doubt very much a player can do anything to block their own stats being collected, though you can chose to not show the stats of others (through interactive/animation settings)

It would be interesting if we could note any particular countries not showing stats and if there is a pattern. For what it's worth I haven't seen anyone in the last couple of days whose stats I couldn't view

Stats. showed instantly for me, and not just from hands played today but hands played for quite awhile. ie. I don't play very often on 888 and on the first table I opened today I had nearly 54,000 hands. ScreenHunter 24084

Ok good for you. I was just commenting on someone saying they don't see stats on some players (then guessing why that may be)😃

Was this a cash game btw? It was my understanding stats only show for play at this table in an MTT. I could be wrong, this is all new obviously
