Todays treasure chest challenge is a bit naughty....
Play 100 hands of snap.....easy peasy on the face of it.......until you realise you are playing hands and not knocking the 100 off very quickly.
Actually you need to have 4 of ther 6 players to VPIP into the hand and it there has to be some post flop betting for the hand to qualify.
A few were catching on and it was becoming a limp fest.....
888 that is just bad, you can report back that I for one am not happy, it actually took me nearly 300 hands played to complete.
Misrepresentation at its best,...

So today's Treasure Quest challenge for me is place $200 in wagers in Live Casino, so I go to Live Casino and this message pops up...
I'm in canada and never had that message come up in regular or Live casino before.
If Canadians are actually excluded, fine, I can live with it, but if it's some kind of glitch and it keeps me from completing these challenges it's kind of irksome.
Thanks.

Yeah in the UK it was to place sports bets in play.
I usually don't do sports betting and I certainly don't do casino.
Why do 888 think poker players like these forms of gambling?
I won't be bothering anymore. You didn't learn your lesson from the last ladder/beanstalk thing.
It's bullshit and in fact it makes me cross enough to piss off back to Pstars for a month.

While we completely respect your decision for self exclusion, you need to be aware that some of 888poker major promotion (such as this one), do require sport activity. But you are welcome to continue playing the promotion as you will be able to complete most rows and columns without sport activity.Yeah in the UK it was to place sports bets in play.

I'm with Bruce - I always loved this promotion because it was the only time that many people could obtain prizes that weren't only tickets to bingo tournaments.
But the last time this came up - the path of 100 tasks or whatever it was called, half of the tasks it seemed were non-poker tasks. Wagering a specific amount in the live casino, or on sports events, is not a poker promotion.
This is why I am not participating this time. If you are going to hold a joint promotion & brand it as such that's fine. But an 888 Poker promotion that is half poker, half other tasks is totally mis-leading.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: April 15, 2018
Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff Notches Another Big Online Score, Wins 888poker Whale
This week’s $1,050 buy-in Whale drew 61 players who rebought 28 times. That meant a $100,000 prize pool was to be had for the final eight players. Among those to compete but fall short of the money were “SalsaFiesta,” Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovsky, Jans “Graftekkel” Arends, and bubble boy Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson, the 2014 WSOP Main Event champ and an 888poker Ambassador.
Among those to cash were “PBD03” (7th - $4,500), “SkallePer58” (4th - $10,000), and “lovevalence” (3rd - $15,000). After just 6 hours and 44 minutes, Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff bested Sweden’s Niklas “tuten7” Åstedt in heads-up play to win $32,500. The Swede took home $21,000 for finishing runner-up.
Germany’s “Streusalz” Wins the Mega Deep… Again!
The latest $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep saw346 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 109 times. That meant a $100K prize pool would be paid out to the top 48 spots including “SalsaFiesta” (29th - $680), “Al_Robbya” (13th - $1,350), Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff (7th - $2,750), and “Ur****Storm” (3rd - $10,750).
After 10 hours and 44 minutes, it was Germany’s “Streusalz” who bested Canada’s “GOLDENRUBY13” in heads-up play to win $19,250. It marks th second time “Streusalz” has won the Mega Deep in six months. He topped a field of 522 players back on October 8 to win it for $19,731.60.
“_Lord_Xenu_” Denies Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris GREAT 8 Title
The $88 buy-in, $30,000 GTD Sunday GREAT 8 attracted 283 players who rebought 115 times. That created a prize pool of $31,840 that was paid out to the top 40 spots including to 888poker Ambassador Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot (37th - $184.67), “EyeofSkadi” (24th - $318.40), “Hodor83” (17th - $318.40), Anton “VnilaVader” Herrmann (7th - $955.20), and “sweet_dr34ms” (4th - $2,547.20), who last Sunday won the $15,000 Turbo Mega Deep for $5,395.
After the UK’s “HeadsUpChump” exited in third place for $4,616.80, Switzerland’s “_Lord_Xenu_” and Canada’s Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris battled it out for the title. After 8 hours and 53 minutes in the tournament, the former prevailed to win $6,208.88.
Bryan “De
Pittsterje” Paris Rebounds with Monsoon Win
Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris may have come up one spot shy of winning the GREAT 8, but that didn’t happen in the $55 buy-in, $15K GTD Monsoon. He bested a field of 278 players (plus 100 rebuys) to capture a $3,865.05 top prize.
Others to finish in the top 36 and claim a portion of the $18,900 prize pool were “TheLINQ” (27th - $160.65), “Lucky_Frutti” (19th - $160.65), “88ANDREI88” (13th - $255.15), “Dablinov” (7th - $661.50), “HeadsUpChump” (6th - $850.50), Joao “Jaolito85” Marcs Navarro (4th - $1,606.50), and “Melapika” (2nd - $2,835).
XL Eclipse Champ “Namlleh” is Up for the Challenge
The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge attracted 347 players who rebought 129 time. That meant a $50K prize pool was on tap and the top 48 players got a piece of it. They included “LuckyBoss” (38th for $285), 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (27th - $340), “KURDEdersim” (16th for $675), “hateVAMOS” (8th - $1,125), and “asiarat” (3rd - $5,375).
A minute shy of nine hours in the tournament, Sweden’s “Namlleh” beat Russia’s “Marflon” in heads-up play to win $9,625. If you recall, “Namlleh” is an XL Eclipse champ, who back on February 20 finished runner-up in the $15,000 GREAT 8 for $2,641. His last documented win came back on October 18 when he took down the $10,000 Tornado for $2,195.

I merged and undeleted some of the numerous posts you posted in this thread. I'm curious what you thought would happen when you used someone else's credit card to fund your account? Also, the issue with the email address, all are valid security concerns for 888. They are doing what they are supposed to do to safeguard your account, and also the person who's credit card you used. Sounds like you didn't follow the T&C's to me.

Just do as you are asked by support and it will be resolved but it will most probably take up to 1 week to investigate as support are very busy at the moment.
You should have read the terms and conditions before you joined and you would have understood the rules.

XL Eclipse Champ “CalmRevolver” Takes Down Mega Deep
This week’s $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep attracted 393 players who rebought 126 times. That surpassed the $100K GTD by creating a $103,800 prize pool that was paid out to the top 56 players including “anteen” (29th - $695.46), “bhum3rd” (17th - $1,006.86), “Smithstudent” (10th - $1,691.94), “TylerRM” (6th - $3,633), and “alexos888” (4th - $7,785).
After “brancacoca” bowed out in third place for $10,899, the UK’s “SnowRoll” and Russia’s “CalmRevolver” battled it out for the title. A minute shy of 11 hours in the tournament, the latter prevailed to capture a $19,722 top prize.
“CalmRevolver” is an XL Eclipse champ from last September. More recently, he scored two wins on February 20. The first was in the $88 GREAT 8 for $3,706 and the other in the $5,000 Lightning 6-Max for $1,500.
Anton “anteen” Bertilsson Adds Whale Title to Impressive Résumé
The $1,050 buy-in Whale surpassed its $100K GTD by attracting 73 players who rebought 43 times. That generated a $116K prize pool that was paid out to the top 12 spots including “Biack88” (11th - $2,900), “B.Mitchell” (6th - $6,090), and “wellyxx” (3rd - $16,240).
The tournament ended in a heads-up deal between two Swedish players. Anton “VnilaVader” Herrmann finished in second place for $23,844.99, while Anton “anteen” Bertilsson was named champ for $29,515. If you recall, one year ago Bertilsson became the XL Inferno’s first two-time champ. He won Event #10: $200K Whale for $38,700 on the first day of the series and then two days later won Event #36: $500K High Roller for $116,974.
“Bravo1972” Claims GREAT 8 Title for Malta
The $88 buy-in Sunday GREAT 8 saw 296 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 114 times.

“1llb3b4ck” Wins Another Title for Malta, Takes Down Sunday Challenge for Nearly $10K
Speaking of Maltese players, the $109 buy-in, $50K GTD Sunday Challenge – which drew 383 players who rebought 135 times to create a $51,800 prize pool – came down to two countrymen battling it out. After 9 hours and 29 minutes, “1llb3b4ck” beat “HateH4yeHate” to win a $9,971 first-place prize.
Back on January 29, “1llb3b4ck” bested a field of 136 players to win the $15,000 GREAT 8 for $3,262.
Others to cash the Sunday Challenge were “progress69” (5th - $2,719.50), “TopBeaver69” (10th - $906.50), “and “OBigO” (17th - $502.46), just to name a few.
“DR.Lorax” Weathers the Monsoon to Win $3,517
The $55 buy-in, $15K GTD Sunday Monsoon beat its guarantee by attracting 279 players who rebought 65 times. That created a $17,200 prize pool that was paid out to the top 36 spots including “JohnJones34” (31st - $129), “Baezil13” (18th - $189.20), “Degenrate1” (12th - $275.20), “FerDJin” (8th - $430), and “FreshPro” (4th - $1,462).
After “THAMMY1” exited in third place for $1,943.60, the title came down to “DR.Lorax” and “anth0nypappa.” After 8 hours and 6 minutes, the former came out on top to win $3,517.40. Back in early February, “DR.Lorax” beat out a field of 288 runners to win the $15,000 Daily Challenge for $3,266.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: April 29, 2018
“bigblindbets” Goes From Winning Baby Whale to the Big Whale
The $1,050 Whale drew 65 players who rebought 26 times. Among those to compete for a piece of the $100K prize pool were Anton “anteen” Bertilsson, Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt, and “Sjapster,” though all fell short of making the money.
The final table of nine got paid including “boss7210” (9th - $3,500), “wellyxx” (6th - $5,500), and “CalmRevolver” (3rd - $15,000). After 7 hours and 47 minutes, it was the UK’s “bigblindbets” defeating Ukraine’s Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovsky in heads-up play to capture a $30,000 first-place prize.
It was the second Whale win for “bigblindbets,” who last April defeated a 310-entry field to win the $100,000 Baby Whale for $19,350.
UK’s “summuNNN” Takes Down the Sunday GREAT 8
The $88 buy-in Sunday GREAT 8 – an eight-handed tournament that starts players with 8,888 in chips – attracted 270 players who rebought 116 times. That surpassed the $30K GTD by creating a $30,880 prize pool that was paid out to the top 40 spots including “Pipedream17” (26th - $206.89), “Streusalz” (16th - $463.20), Jans “Graftekkel” Arends (10th - $617.60), “Fukuruku” (5th - $1,698.40), and “dmnln” (3rd - $3,396.80).
After 8 hours and 51 minutes, the UK’s “summuNNN” beat fellow countryman “BadModafoka1” in heads-up play to win $6,021.68.
“summuNNN” Nearly Goes Back-to-Back But “tieer999111” Stops Him in Monsoon
The UK’s “summuNNN” nearly captured a second title on Sunday in the $55 buy-in Monsoon, which crushed its $10K GTD by attracting 220 players who rebought 64 times. That created a $14,200 prize pool paid out to the top 36 finishers including “Fukuruku” (35th - $106.50), “YounPope” (22nd - $120.70), “Fleea_man11” (12th - $227.20), “proJJkeke” (6th - $639), and “Ladzsos” (3d - $1,207).
In the end, “summuNNN” was denied by Germany’s “tier999111,” who won the tournament for $2,903.90 after 7 hours and 20 minutes.
“checcmate” Wins the Mega Deep
The $215 buy-in Mega Deep saw 337 players rebuy 89 times in their quest to compete for a $100K prize pool. The top 48 got paid and included “neverfoldQ5” (36th - $570), “PridvorD” (19th - $970), Jans “Graftekkel” Arends (9th - $1,750), “Canette_15” (5th - $5,250), and “TrollKonst8” (4th - $7,750).
After Canada’s “mndlssbrnt” exited in third place for $10,750, the title came down to “genbab10” and “checcmate.” After 10 hours and 33 minutes, the latter prevailed to win $19,250.
Thursday Cube Runner-Up “tupastacerdo” is Up for the Sunday Challenge
The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge saw 345 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 125 times. A $50K prize pool was offered up to the top 48 players and among those to earn a piece of it were “Namlleh” (43rd - $240), “Pepepepepe.” (30th - $340), Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovsky (20th - $485), and “summuNNN” (5th - $2,625), who was at his third final table of the day!
After 9 hours and 15 minutes, “tupastacerdo” defeated “Jesusisback” to win the title and $9,625 top prize. Back on April 5, “tupastacerdo” finished
runner-up in the $10,000 Thursday Cube for $2,100.
What to watch out for:
