Since I contact 888poker by email, I always made withdrawals and it worked, but this time the withdrawal doesn't fall into my account, it keeps coming back but it doesn't fall into the 888poker account. 888poker is trying to send the withdrawal to my account in an eternal loop, and it doesn't refund the amount for my 888poker account, the withdrawal is still pending for 2 months.
Poker user name please?

Why does 888Poker choose to use such a terrible structure in their 1 monthly biggest freeroll? (the $25,000 Fantastical Flames Freeroll that played today).
Only 30 mins into it and all stacks were under 10bb except 1.
These were the stack sizes:
3.8bb, 9.1bb, 3.3bb, 6.6bb, 3.6bb, 3.7bb, 21.8bb, 4.5bb

Seriously... this ^ is ridiculous. What could possibly be the mental reasoning behind choosing such a terrible structure for this game?
I thought it through while attempting to play it.
- have the game finish as quickly as possible so that players will jump into other games once they're done
- ??? (< couldn't think of anything else)

This is flawed though, instead they should structure the game so that 888 will increase the player traffic!
That freeroll had a decent prizepool - - 1st = $2,500+). If it LASTS LONGER... players who are playing in the tournament will then (most likely) be firing up more games from 888poker to play at the same time as they're playing that $25k freeroll.
ie. for myself, after getting donked out at the 30min. mark, I just closed the 888 site and moved on to play on other sites. (might I add... 'after feeling a tad disturbed with the structure being so ridiculous' I was more than happy to close the site and move to other sites with better games).

888poker offers more freerolls than any of the other sites these days. Why not use that money to increase player traffic? Isn't that what they're for?
At least make the Monthly Freerolls (the ones players need to qualify for) better structured.

That game today (the $25,000 Fantastical Flames Freeroll) was so stupid I probably wouldn't have played the requirements to gain an entry to it.

I'm curious as to why 888 admin./marketing, etc. doesn't bother to access (& IMPLEMENT) the ideas from their Stream Team sponsored players? I know they talk with them but I also know they don't bother to listen. The site (poker) could easily be made so much better (EASILY MADE SO MUCH BETTER!). One has to wonder why it doesn't happen. :(
Don't complain, be just happy to get some opportunities.
Just see it with a more global view.
On no other poker site is it possible to built a bankroll from nothing for us German regulated players in so many ways and opportunities.
pokerstars Germans have no freerolls at all, only the 1 cent HU shootout Sundays.
GG-Poker as biggest room gives out some specials for German players like the freeroll league; Bild.de Pokernights only for German players, with T$. and the daily free game. Some other Freerolls here and there but way less than last year.
partypoker and the skins(bwin/bpremium) allowed in germany has the hourly freerolls, where you can try to win a steps ticket for some of their major tournaments.

I'm afraid my post has gone completely over your head. So I don't think there's any point in providing an explanation beyond > My desire is for the site to become BETTER... & I don't give a f__k about your freerolls. There's much MUCH more to poker than fk'n freerolls ffs

Thank you for giving me information about your mindset,
and I think it goes completely over your head what I tried to say.

I don't give a (whatever) about your opinion, if you want it this way.


It's their business, and they'll do what they think is best for their site in a view of which markets and options they have.

If you want to change something in their business (your desire), try to be a shareholder or try to work for them directly.

I give a (whatever you think) on a moaning or complaining guy.

Every other thing is moaning without having a more open view.

Discussion closed.

Did you read my initial post (prior to providing me with the full 2024 Update of the online poker German Freeroll schedule)?

The 'structure' in 888's Promotional $25k freeroll was TERRIBLE for the players who were participating in it. Why not make it better? Why make it terrible? It certainly doesn't benefit the site.
