I had once won alot of money on that site and then it got to the point like the software told me to get the fck going and I could never win a hand and it lasted until it broke my bankroll on that site. I have not gone back since and vowed never to play on it again. I liked it at first but got to a point I couldnt win anything!

I have never had any real issues with 888,and when I did they always fixed and or compensated me in some way,over all i am happy. My last deposit there was almost 2 years ago,and I have won money and cashed out, more then a few times,most recently this year I won $5 free play and turned it to $494 cashed out then won some more,so I can't really complain,I will admit that playing on 888 is different,and I just learned to tune my game too that site,just like full tilt its not the same as pokerstars the play is some what different for some reason, you always hear of players complaing how they loose money on full tilt,does that mean full tilt is scamming too? I am pretty sure 888 is legit as full tilt is,I have noticed that the poker players on these site that are winning have learned to adjust there play too that site,and some can't do that,so they complain about it,you hear about how they felt they were scammed or the site is a scam. If 888 was scamming why would they still be around all these years. All I can say is that they must be doing some thing right,think about those rooms that have come and gone,some of the poker rooms where big name rooms,like UB but they where scamming and are no longer around.
Maybe its just time too step back and away from online poker for awhile...

i am sure that if it's time to say goodbye to 888, then it's time to say goodbye to 888. no reason to reconsider, since goodbye means goodbye and bullsh1t means bullsh1t... that's fair and square and no one can deny that you don't mean goodbye when you are saying goodbye.
Not complaining with this site as i only play free rolls and have cashed out 3 times this month. The withdrawls take a little longer than Poker Stars but i always get my cash with no fees One thing i noticed with there reward free rolls they have added more seats when only 50 percent of players actually play them Correct me if i am wrong but they are in 2nd place in terms of traffic and promotions behind Poker Stars

I dont know about everything you have said, but you mentioned also about the notes which you have lost. From what i am aware of, the notes are stored locally in your computer, in all poker sites. So the site isnt responsible for losing them. Every time you reinstall a poker site the notes are gone, unless you can copy and then paste the specific file after reinstallation. icequeen has mentioned the way to do this in another thread.

I am also playing a lot of freerolls there and my must admit that these are greas as well as most of their promotions. You can really make some money there. The best promotion they ever had was the "Live the dream" one with many high volume freerolls for depositing players.

i see you made another thread thanking Duck Poker and saying how great to play there and now you open a hateful one about 888poker this is weird because normally it is the opposite i guess you are different from other people
888 the best site in terms of promotions , their Christmas promotion is still running to this day 888 is a scam ? this is so funny , i won more than 200$ from freerolls and cash out without a problem i don't usually defend poker sites but that is the truth
You could play in plenty worse places than 888, but if you really feel the software is the real reason you just cannot beat anybody (or the RNG I mean) then why bother playing online at all? No site will do justice for you, and no algorythm will help you beating the odds.

What I really hate about 88 is their bad software. I mean they are extremely often having technical difficulties with their platform so that you just can not play on. It has improved since one or two months but it still happens too often.

My meaning the only way to play real poker is in a Casino.Sure I got win sometimes a lot in one week by RedKings over 3500$ with tourneys but was I see in the last years is happens with online poker is very bad.I play now 14 years poker in the beginning you got ND Bonus between 20-100 instant and now u get 5$ instant and must play a lot of hands for the next 5$.Sometimes u get lucky but in the most times u will lost.The other think I will my play not change to the software that I can win,I will play poker but my meaning the software sucks on many sites.When I look at Mira poker and this weekend on terminal poker it is unbelievable I win only 1 or 2 hands from 10 where I was in front 65% on flop 80% on river lost on turn.I know that can happen by poker but not so many times and over many days and week's.So I decide to do not spend only 1$ in online poker.ND yes I do.I take my money and bring it in a casino to a real dealer and players.When I got there unlucky I know that I was not beaten by the software.I was beaten by the cards,for me a better feeling

I have played on this site for a while and never was disappointed or thougt that its was rigged on any game that i played there. When i wanted to cash out there was nothing i could use so i asked if they could send me a cheque and they did wit no problem for only $50.00.

Yeah there is always time to leave a poker room and leaving early to try other rooms is not a crime as the money is yours and you do what you want with it and so on! I had some good experience and some bad ones on 888poker but overall their freeroll is kind of good and you cannot use skrill from my country there so i did not play too much there! Anyway have fun at the tables and good luck making money on 88 poker cheers !!

Yeah, but no. 888's UK license was provided by the UK Gambling Commission (Gibraltar for the rest of the world), their stocks are available to purchase on the stock-exchange in London and Ecogra is just a middle man for testing. BTW the same Ecogra which certified Ladbrokes, where almost every one of us a winning player. So. I don't think you are even this _ close to being right.
