Hello mr. Administrator. I think that the new leaderboard, if it will exist, should not require a real money buy-in for it's tournaments to participate in. There are only 38 players qualified for the prize for now after a half of a year of play ! Also, I hope that the new leaderboard will not be played on PS/FT(my personal wish)

you know why there are only 38 players out there in 888poker? because this poker room has restricted access to bankrollmob tournaments in few countries. This poker room is legal in my country but i can not play BRM tournaments because I'm restricted. Is a nasty decision on their part because these tournaments are for everyone.
It's very strange Calicul, did you contact 888support regarding this issue? I guess it must be some kind of mistake, as I saw lots of players from Romania playing real money tournaments in this room. Bankrollmob tournaments are the same as all other, so what's wrong with them?

I sent 5 or 6 emails to 888poker and they answered with pathetic apologies. The first time and the second time they said it was the fault of the boys of The BankrollMob. Of course i did not believe that but i intentionally sent an email to BRM to show them to 888 as i am right. After that they found four apologies and the last one was that i can not play there because it is 888.ro for romanian players and BRM is for 888.com. Incredible... 888 restricts these tournaments that are for all players around the world.
Lol! It's very unfair. As you mentioned, Bankrollmob tournaments are for players from all over the world, and 888 as a conscientious partner should provide access to those to all people who want to take part in them. It's a pity that they don't. We can only hope that the next leaderboard at 888 will be all right.

This will not happen if someone does not take some action. From August 2016 until now i was restricted in many 888poker freerolls tournaments. 888 banned access to BRM , facebook , twitter, vkontakte, and more freerolls . We have a few remaining free games and there we are accepted.
sirthomas, this is a real problem that many people want but can not take part in the leaderboard, if somehow they could deal with this problem, then the leaderboard tournaments would become more massive, there would be more guarantees, more tournaments and more fans
------------ I would like to know if the timing of the new leaderboard is known, and will it be possible to take part in the discussion, what can be improved in the leaderboard and how to play games in general? And the last question is, what are the terms of payment of the prize for the recently completed leaderboard, thank you in advance for the answers. )
------------ Sandmanilo , in this idea there is no sense, I would suggest making more tournaments instead of 1 per week and it is possible to leave the entry price the same as it was before, and it's not logical to make a freeroll out of a leaderboard.

I really like this promotion of the 888leaderboard, but I didn't always had enough left to make a possible 12 dollars invest with all the rebuys and so, the prize pool is great, only it is too much months, leaderboards give a special motivation and it bring more action. I hope you guys do another leaderboard with great prizes, I don't care which client and how much dollars, next time I am in!

It was a big leader board indeed. The one with the longest duration so far. And it has great prizes. I can see that the last update was on the 2nd of january, so there is a chance for some changes in the board. Congratulations to all the winners.

Well my point is that leaderboard with a real money buy-in didn't attract much players. Maybe also factors like unavailability of this freerolls in some countries and the choice of poker room played their role, but I think the buy-in factor is the main. I remember previous leaderboards with thousands of players participating. Maybe it would be a good idea to make 2 leaderboards- one free and one real-money.

As when i have money on 888poker room i just spend it on slots , althought it's not a good idea ... Ripping everything on slots and then cry about it that i didn't play poker at all

Massive congratulations go out to all the 888poker leaderboard participants who managed to win fabulous prizes. The competition lasted from July 30, 2017 to January 7, 2018. I bet it had been a long journey for all. Good luck to everyone in the upcoming event.

Posted by kaisaoussen: By the way can you please tell us when it will be a new leaderboard and can you post a pool vote to choose the room in wich it will took place?
I think it doesn't work that way , i mean they can't just go on any poker room and make a freeroll for us ... They have to talk about it with the supports and kinda ask if they can make a freeroll on there platform , so i think they can't really choose where to make it , it's more like they make it in that room where they are able to !
. We have a few remaining free games and there we are accepted.
