888Poker is becoming a big joke. I tried to login last week and i get a message "poker has stopped working" and it shuts down, so i tried uninstall/ reinstall and still the same.
I contacted support only to be told they have a technical problem but no timescale on when it will be fixed, they advised me to use "Instant play" from my browser.
Its over a week now and it is still the same, is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have a solution of how to fix this.
I have one tournament to play tonight then i'm afraid 888 you have lost me for good, i will withdraw all my bankroll and deposit it at the most reliable online poker site, Sky Poker.

No mate at the moment I an not having any problems with 88. I am just playing a tournament there. But I know that they are having technical problems from time to time. But I have never had the case, that I could not log in for over a week.

When I first tried logging into 888 at about 12 pm there was "technical problems" but after trying about twenty minutes later it was fine,I have only just finished (3pm) and all is well. If I re-install any programs I use CCleaner (free software) to uninstall all traces of the software from programs and registry which usually works with no problems. Good Luck.

I really wonder how you ended up with that conclusion. That the most reliable site is the Sky Poker. I dont know why, but your post looks like an advertisement for sky poker the way you said it. 888 is not the only site having connection problems. I bet party poker has more

I am the first when it comes to defending 88 poker, because I have made a lot of money just through there promotions, but if we are only talking about tecchnical problems then I must admit, that it is the worst site I know.

Ilike to play there not a big site but it´s a nice at least until now Hope to cross with some forum members over there it will be hard to figure out the mob members but it will be nice
@StS5 FULLY agreed with you friend!!! 888poker got the best promotions , i make good funds there . Only with promotions you can make at LEAST $1 at day . Connections problems are past for me on 888poker. Everything is individual.

Hi, everybody.
Very great opportunity for refusal of your operating system. The appendix 888poker can be not guilty of it. And concerning game on the 888th poker for example very much it is pleasant to me. Technical support of course at them is rather weak and general impression good.

I am sorry mate, but that is not possible. They had a lot of technical issues at the end of the last year and also before. They even introduced special tournaments (which I attended) to say sorry for it. But since one month it is OK.

My 888 has always (well, pretty much always with only just a few slight malfunctions here and there) worked really well and I haven't really had any problems with the software, or the support that comes with it. I think it's pretty good stuff on the whole.

Yeah the support of 888 is really the best I know. In case I have any problems whatsoever I can just call the hotline and immediately get someone to talk to. On Ppokersstars they do not even have a hotline and you have to write mails.
