The signup bonus is only for software or program 888 Poker on your computer or by users bonus and welcome is what I mean , if someone new is recorded on a computer that already has 888 receives equally welcome bonus or longer ? could someone tell me what that's like .

The welcome bonus is only for the first user on the computer because the site records your IP.

I think having read through the thread and based on my own extensive experience of 888 the moral of the story is:

- if you're the sort of poker player who appreciates pretty colors in the background then 888 is probably your top choice (you can continue staring at them even during the frequent periods when you're disconnected)

- on the other hand if you're the sort of player who wants reliable bug free software then your only option is to go elsewhere because 888 have been 'fixing' things for several years now.

I have a question about this promotion on daily mission :

Every week you complete 5 daily 888poker Missions, you’ll win a randomly selected EXTRA surprise.
Up to $100 cash is up for grabs!


[-] Daily 888poker Mission Terms
•To win an extra prize, players must complete 5 or more daily poker missions within one week, at least two of which must be different.

My question is:
Does this mean that I can completed 4 mission play cash and 1 mission of tournament buyin 5$, or I must do 2 cash, 2 buyin 5$ and one of another?

 

[Rijckenborg]

And when it say : Play with a total buy-in of 5$ or more :

Can we play to 5 tournement with 1$ of buy-in each, totaling 5$ of buy-in ???

Can we use a step4 ticket as buy-in to complete a daily mission?

The find a player function will be in a future update.
Maybe you need to reinstall the poker client so see it it clears up your freezing issues but make sure to save your notes first.

i like ur promos but dont like that u have to deposit for every one sigh that daily hand promo looked like fun but after checking for several days and not seeing popup with daily hand i revisited the email and THEN saw that i have to deposit to take part SIGH i think that daily hand promo would generate a lot more traffic at the cash tables if it was not tied to a deposit

Hello 888 Rep, I'm wondering If by any chance does 888 actually have a search functionality area. I mean to browse through endless pages of tourneys when I'm looking for a specific game Is hard on the eyes (Since I don't have good eyes to begin with). If you do, where Is It, and If you don't will 888 have that on board soon?

 

[MasterOfDisaster]

The unexpected promo says top50 gets an additional prize added, now I have seen a pop up with info about this added twice , appearing in lobby(once top50 got go pro camera and once top50 would get $50)

Are top50 prizes Always of these great extra value or only with a pop up?

Im still missing a way 2 check out raked hands 4 the missions.

 

[888Rep]

We will run a Special Edition of The Whale tonight (Sunday) due to player’s request. It will have a $150,000 GTD prize (last week and next week are $200,000 but this is last minute).

After next week we will return to the ‘every other week’ format.

Good luck!

ty 4 your quick response

We just uploaded the Main Event of the upcoming Super XL series which take place between January 24th and 31st. The Main Event which will take place on the 31.1.2016 will have a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize. The buy-in for the Main Event will be $1,050, a bit higher than the $600 buy-in last year. This will better suit our satellite structure and differentiate itself from our weekly $600 highrollers. This is the only tournament to have been published so far from the Super XL series, and the rest of the series will be announced at a later time, closer to the launch. Satellites for the Main Event will be available in the upcoming days.
Good Luck!
