Someone mentioned that the 5$ Bonus I was told about in the email I got for my birthday might only be available in the Casino.
If it was a casino bonus, you wouldn't see it there since you can't withdraw it. You would have needed to play the required casino game(s) and clear the bonus requirements. However, it probably expired by now. All the details would have been in the email.
Click on My Profile then My Account, you should see where the bonus is.
I find that the 888 software is excellent these days. A few years ago it used to be terrible.
I really like the site and the games and the softness of the opposition but there is one thing stopping me from playing all my poker at 888 :
Your VIP scheme sucks. At the stakes I play it is completely pointless, even worse than Poker Stars. Even if you get 1500 points a month and get up to Gold, which means a hell of a lot of poker, and is virtually impossible at micro stakes, you still only earn the equivalant of 4.5%.
Your promotions are good but you have the basics all wrong which is sad cos as i say if your VIP scheme was good I would never play anywhere else.
Will 888 ever come to California?
Thanks. And I need to say "sorry" to the 888 rep for my "lame" comment. I was looking in the cashier and it gave me a balance of 5 cents, cause that is my balance that I can withdraw. In my profile it shows the bonus.
My bad, but it was a bit unclear to me, since I always have checked my balance under the cashier, but there it only shows withdraw-able amount, and any bonuses that are not yet cleared are not shown there.
Thanks Mootso.
++I received a $5 Poker Bonus clearing at 3.5 pts for each $1 (So 17.5 pts needed). I have 2 questions:
1) I play a tournament with a $5 buyin and I lose. Do I still have to get the 17.5 pts or is the bonus considered done?
The bonus is considered done – players first play on the bonus and then on real money, so if you used the $5 in a $5 tournament and lost – the bonus is gone.
2) I play a tournament with a $5 buyin and I win $200. That $200 can not be withdrawn until I get 17.5 pts right?
You can withdraw $195, only the $5 is still restricted until you earn the points.
I got disconnected
all other internet worked
To all,
We have had more server issues even after it seemed that it stabilized. This is absolutely the top priority to fix as it is not good for any parties involved, so we are working on it with all of our effort and apologize for any difficulties you've had.
Anything new about skrill withdrawals?
