Poker888 Max winning of $1 blast

I have participated in so many $1 blast on poker888 but maximum price money i have seen till date is only $10.Many time the roller almost stops to $25, $100 or more but than it over turns to $2 or $3. Is there any one who have seen higher price money than $10?

 

[puzzlefish]

Just use a VPN many is doing that at 888 they don't seem to mind.

That's great up to the point where you might want to withdraw money from the account.

Was registered for the level 40 freeroll yesterday when all of a sudden all freerolls quit showing up under tournaments. Was also not able to play the $1000 freeroll (LVL 40+), it didn't even open. If I go under tickets than the tournaments are available but this is not right. I enjoy these small freerolls especially for depositing players only. Please get this fixed as it's not exactly ideal.

Try a reinstallation to see if that works and if not then please contact support@888poker.com and they will advise you further.

Thanks

Good point!

I dropped out of 888 poker, there is no recent iphone app (regrettable).

 

[Uncloggie]

I want to say, the recent upgrades are way improving the game.
No more massive lags when taking notes, etc.

My sound issues have returned, and I have them pinned down.

I use BSPlayer (free version) on my PC, to watch videos.

If I have BS player running before I open a game in 888, 888 is muted.
I have to close both, restart 888 , get into an actual game to get the sound engine running, and then I can run BSplayer normally, with no sound issues.

The applications seem to clash with each other.

They also sometimes crash when running at the same time.

Hi 888 rep

This morning I had an experience in one of your satellites, which led me to suspect, that the same player or group of players are controlling at least 5 different accounts on your site. I tried to contact your support via email, but after writing a long message, it was apparently not send, so I kindly request, that you send this over for me, since this has worked before.

What happened was, I registered to a 5,5$ satellite rewarding 55$ tournament tickets around 10 minutes before, it was supposed to begin. Nobody else had registered, and I was kind of expecting it to be cancelled, which often happen to these satellites. However in the nick of time 5 more players showed up, so that the satellite reached its minimum of 6 players.

In the first hand I folded, and then 3 other players went all in with some pretty random hands. The hand history containing all relevant information is at the bottom of my post. What this apparently does is to close late registration, because the tournament is now only 2 from the money. Its 2 tickets guarantied. This is obviously very advantageous for the remaining 4 players, since players have now only contributed 33$ to the 110$ price pool. I have seen this happen twice before but with other players involved.

Maybe sometimes its just a silent understanding among players, that this behaviour is good for everyone on the table at the expense of 888 Poker. But this time I noticed, that the 3 remaining players all had the same nationality, and I had never played with any of them before. This in itself is a bit strange, since I have played a lot on 888 Poker. They also turned out to be very solid players, which made me feel, that it was definitely strange, I had never seen any of them before.

So I looked up the 5 accounts on sharkscope, and they show some fairly glaring similarities. They have all played somewhere around 250-450 tournaments for roughly the same average buyin, and they all seem to have a preference for satellites like this and then also 10c BLAST games. Which in itself is a pretty weird and rare combination to see.

I cant say, that the 3 remaining players clearly colluded against me, but if the accounts are in fact controlled by the same player or group of players, this is obviously a violation of fundamental game rules. So I encourage your security team to look into this and perhaps ask the owners of these 5 accounts to verify their identity, if this has not been done already.

in terms of freerolls, 888 is one of the best rooms, the coolest is freerolls in hyperturbo mode, I made a deposit of $ 10 bucks and no longer made a deposit nirazu, but only withdrew, the interface is sometimes annoying, but in general 888 is a cool room, thanks

Happened a couple times on 888, I enter the game due to the (red punching ) symbol showing it being a knock out game....and it is not ...so weird, am I missing something?

Hello,

888poker Live made its long-awaited return to the UK with the 888poker Live Weekend, which took place between 28 – 31 October.
It all went down at Grosvenor Casinos’ The VIC located in the heart of London.

The local poker community came out in droves to celebrate 888poker’s first live event in London in 2021.

Sounds good. I digged a little deeper into this on Sharkscope and found the following satellites, that all attracted the minimum amount of players or in one case +1. A lot of the accounts participating in these satellites show the same profile as those mentioned in my previous post. These accounts are marked with bold below. The accounts not marked with bold look normal and legit, or they have opted out of Sharkscope, so that I cant find them.

Hello.
Why is late registration not indicated in the android client at many tournaments?
How can you find out the late registration time for any tournament that has not yet started in the android client?

Please mail support@888poker.com and they will advise you.

Thanks

 

[888Rep]

None of the Sir Prize freerolls are showing up in the tournament listings, although the tickets can directly link to the tournaments so they are still running but just not getting listed somehow. Maybe it is the same for other tournaments too. Some kind of glitch?

Check your filtures.

 

[888Rep]

The PokerListings website is planning to hold a big freeroll on November 7 in the 888 poker room. I don't see him in the lobby. Will this tournament take place?

If they set it up it should be there otherwise check their website.

Thanks

 

[fundiver199]

Spend some more time digging through Sharkscope today, and the list gets bigger and bigger. At least two more satellites were played as late as today. Other than the preference for BLAST games all the bold marked accounts have also played their first game between december 2015 and september 2016, and they are all spelled without using a capital letter at the front. At least 50 accounts seem to be involved, and there are almost certainly more than those, I found.

Is there something wrong with 888 today ?
Only high stakes tournaments show up in the lobby, on both the PC and mobile version, from canada.

Same thing for me, also Canada.

Nothing but the highest stakes showing up and I did check the filters.
Virtually no volume on anything right now.

Here's what shows up for tournaments and cash games...

I see the same thing from Kazakhstan.
The same games, that's all.
