I now have about 3million tickets to this promotion and am wondering when I will ever get to sue them. The last few days the tourneys have been full to 14000 so not sure I feel like playing them. Maybe hang around for a while and see whether they reduce in number, or simply enter and see what happens without playing.

With 14K players you would never come ITM as a sit out even the latest one with less players there are still to many to sit out. I did it in the last promotion once or twice and got ITM for pennies but it was free and was not playing so cant complain.
But this promotion i just cant make it even in playing.
I played the 3K this afternoon with more ten 14K players 888poker increased the seats was 16K entrants i finished 223 place for 2.10. The money grab promotion was way better as easier too win a good prize splash out also better i finished the daily poker mission 5 times twice and got 3 1 dollar tournament tickets top 50 in the daily 3K very hard GL.

Winning more tickets to the freeroll is hardly a mystery prize is it?It seems I was lucky to have even won a few dollars.I have only played a couple of the 3k tourneys and I have managed to cash but it is not easy with so many players.

Cheers mate well done some money is better than no money, and even if it is small, more of those small wins could give you a lot in the long term but sometimes it hurts as we wished we would have received or won more, anyway keep playing who knows what it might end up, you might win big next time , so cheers good luck at the tables have fun and hopefully make a lot of money, cheers peace out guys have fun at the tables!

14000 wasn't bad, todays game at 3pm est they upped the player base to 16000, so now it might be even harder to hit the money, but my son just got kicked out in around 220th place, and for his time he got $2.10, i really don't think these games are worth playing any more, to big of a field..
The 888 all in promotion is pretty good won 4 flips in the first one for $4.50 with around 3000 players best too playing snap cash games for the winning hand was completing my daily challenge and managed a 5th place in a 1 snap tournament without re buy for 47 did not bring my a game on the final table after being 1st in chips GL.
Hmmm, I got 5$ free play in a slot machine in a mystery gift yesterday. Today I played it and ended up with 4,20$ profit. But it seems the money can't be used for poker? It doesn't appear in my poker balance, but when I go back to casino games it's still there...
This promotion isn't bad but it lacks real interesting prizes in my opinion.

36 times to clear a 5$ bonus isnt easy, unless you hit some good wins at first with bonus rounds or free games. It isnt even easy with 10x Just keep picking slots with 15 lines max. Dont play a 25 lines slot for example choosing to play 15 of them. I get mostly fails when i play like that.

they upped the amount of players again, first it was 15K then they upped it to 16K now it's 17K, so it does make it kinda hard to win some money when most of the players are bingo players at the start of the game. but if you manage to last 1 hr then you usually get in the money.

I don't think I have played one of these freerolls yet, I have registered for a couple and then not been able to play but am still waiting to make a cash in them. I have about 30 tickets so ought to start using them and trying to make the most of them....even though the fields of players are HUGE!

what an epic and exceptionally awesome promotion that has been generated by pure geniuses at headquarters of 888. this promotion can be surely counted as one of the best promotions ever that have been created for poker players and even for those who are not related to poker. i feel so privileged not to take part in this promotion.

I managed to win another mystery prize yesterday but still waiting for the big reveal!!They certainly like to keep you on tenterhooks at 888....lets hopoe it is not another 5 freeroll tickets to add to my 17 I already have. I did see that the next freeroll had an extra $50 for the top 50 so well worth going for it.

It is always better winning something, than absolutely nothing You may get very lucky with the tickets you already got. Lets hope this time you will hit the top prize in this mystery challenge Good luck with it.

Mystery prize this time was $5 to play on Spin Genie slot,I managed to win around $8 which was converted to the max $5(great idea 888,makes perfect sense!!) but failed to clear the wagering on the $5. I also won a $5 on Genie on the wheel and won $4,changed slot to Elvis and just had a decent win of $20 and now on $23 so I may have a chance with this one.
