we owe you an explanation.
You may have noticed that we’ve been experiencing technical problems during the last few days, which may have meant that some of your games were interrupted.
We’re really sorry if this was the case and know how frustrating this must have been for you.
We want to assure you that our players are our number 1 priority, which is why our 888poker technical support team has been busy working round the clock to fix these problems as fast as possible.
The silver lining, We’re giving you a $5 cash bonus to try and make up for some of the hassle.
If you’d like to discuss it further with a member of the team, please feel free to send an email to [email protected] and we’ll get back to you within 72 hours.
Nice of them,eh? all I was doing was those days was freerolling
I played a tourney that day and they gave me 5$ as well! they gave EVERYONE 5$ those guys know how to appologize! lol the disconnection problems worked in my favor and I cashed in the tourney I was in because of all the disconnects! lol so I was on top for the day.

I sent them two mails with a screenshots of the game i was playing when i was disconnected and both time the next day they sent me a mail like your and telling me they had deposited $5.00 in my account. And another day i again received a mail like that and in this one they were giving me a ticket for a $1,000.00. Very nice from them to take care of their customers.

... < I was in a knock out tourney this morning and got a wicked hand and would have knocked 1 or 2 out.....THEN.....it disconnects JUST as I'm moving the cursor to bet....!!!
... < Intermitant disconnections throughout the game,...and right in the middle of TWO killer hands I would have won...!!!
...Half on tilt,....I shoved my AK against a K on the flop,...got an A,...but buddy clobbered me with 3 kings... < Gone.....
...If it's not one thing on pp,...it's another....

That is the way they all should treat their customers. Either freerolling or not They give free money for connection issues, and others dont even give money, when you request cash outs.
One of the reasons that 888poker for a long time now is a "here to stay" poker site.

It's intersting how different people have different views generally based on their own personal experiences with the support staff offered by the major poker and gambling sites. This thread compared to a similar one praising Stars makes me wonder what it's all about!

Of cause it is mostly the personal experience that forms the view on such support structures. Maybe additionaly the reaction time of that support, and the oppinons of other, trusted players.

I got a similar email as well but cannot remember getting any technical problems lately Not complaining....though I would be if I was in a good position. I have noticed quite a few problems with PP though and heard nothing from them.

Any place which does not carry a live chat is starting on the wrong foot with me tbh. But then I meet the most inept, outsourced wagefighters on these - who could not solve 2+2=4 and I am begin to cry for a capable offline support.

Verry nice support from 888 To get a Little Bonus as a free gift for a freeroller was really good. I played the splash promo freerolls and got nothing and the software freezed every time
< I hope they're as nice to players on
