Well it is a shame the million dollar money grab had to end but now we have the Summer Splash promo beginning,not sure how long it is on for but we still get the wheel and I think there are 4 tournaments a day as well. First spin for me a step 2 sat ticket and first tourney I was out on the 3rd hand with KK. I don't like the fact we only have 1000 chips to start with.

It looks like that the promotions for the summer have already started 888poker is a site that has made the good freerolls a tradition, and i believe it is one of the main reasons, they are still on top of the poker world, in terms of numbers of players at least.
Good luck with the new promo, i hope you will do better than the last one

I have just won 3 tickets on the wheel but not doing too well in the freerolls,played 3 and went out quite early with big pairs on 2 and other one just didn't have enough chips after a couple of average hands. Starting with just 1000 chips means if you don't get a good start in the first few levels you are going to be in trouble.....if they want a donk fest why not just make it an all in tourney.

If you get so many wins on the wheel then this is not a problem. That also means many players will treat the tournaments as donk fests So dont think too much about it. You got a goof hand? All in to increase your stack early. Leave the hard decisions for later stages on the game. Good luck.

I again won another 3 tickets today which is good.I notice that there are lots of splash tourneys available including all in games to win towels,hats,sunglasses,etc so maybe people will be winning more tickets on the wheel.

The only thing that the wheel gave me up to date is step ticket. I played the splash tourney and cashed in only once $0.60 there is a lot of peoples with 1,000 chips starting and turbo it makes it very difficult.But will continue to try and see.

Some people seem to have very bad luck on the wheel.....I have just won another 2 tickets today,so that is 12 free tickets so far and a step ticket. Usually I try and save as many up as I can but these tickets have a 48 hour expiry so have to use them quickly,going to be trying the all in tourneys and maybe win a nice beach towel.

the problem with this new promo, is the tickets are only good for a few days, then they expire. yesterday when i logged in i had 10 tickets, today when i logged in i only had 6 The four they gave at the start of the promo expired. So keep an eye on the date of your tickets.

Thats a bit of a bad tactic here. If the promotion period is long enough and they are giving you tickets, that expire in a couple of days... I bet there is a point on this from their side, that some wont take a look at the expiration date, and will miss their chance. Of course someone must always check the dates and put reminders also

The 48 hr expiry is a bit annoying but there is a couple of cash tournaments daily and if you do have extra tickets there are the all in games so you can at least try and win something.....and everyone needs a nice 888poker beach towel and who would not love to win an 888poker baseball hat? ....though remember the terms of winning the baseball cap is that it has to be worn back to front,especially in business meetings.

I like the new Summer Splash promo at 888 and we can start with 4 freeroll tickets. And the gratis spin every day give us the chance for some nice extra tickets. At the Moment, 888 have one of the best promos for small stack players.
Good Promo once again from 888 the challenges are easy too complete for more tickets problem i have had is i complete 3 challenges a day and only receive 6 tickets instead of 9 last money grab promotion a profit of 350 good luck

I really wonder now with the recent merge, if they are gonna keep running all these promotions. Now they will have a biggest share of the pie and wont have to offer that much to lure players. Lets hope this wont be the case, and they will keep them running as usual.
I don't like the fact we only have 1000 chips to start with.
350 
good luck
