over the past few days, 888poker several times changed the conditions of this promotion .... at the beginning of a ticket to the tournament 20,000 dollars cost 50 gold .... now it costs 500 gold .... it was an option to play for 20 dollars and get a ticket to this tournament .... now there is no it .... in my opinion they don’t understand what they are doing .... it’s just ridiculous .... with this promotion they have some terrible situation

Yes, when I read your thread I go to the poker client and check it...I can´t believe it! In Christmas this was a bad idea. They are a big poker´s room and doesn´t give to your clients anything. They didn´t run any special freeroll or giving to us some tickets, and then they change the promotion with avaricious! What a shame!
Even a 20K Freeroll ticket has a very short validity period. Yesterday I could not play this Freeroll, and today I see that the deadline expires in two days. This is sad. 888poker has become a very stingy room. I'm not talking about their rakeback-it simply does not exist in fact.

You are right about 888poker. I tried this year from May, to make some money here. I played a lot of satellites and i won a lot of tournament entries in the main games. To speak honestly, i did not get anything interesting. Their software is simply broken, when i want to create a stack. I sent 3 emails to ask for clarification but it's like talking alone. I can not make money here, it'a a waste of time.

The poker client of 888poker is doing rare things again... When I look for the validated period of my tickets, I saw that they were changed again! First, I had four tickets to $ 1500 Lucky Freeroll that, when the new promotion started, they become in tickets to Warm Up Tourney. But now they become again in $ 1500 and these tournaments don´t exist anymore!
I just turned the wheel and got a prize .... a ticket to the tournament was $ 20,000 .... after all, I was given entry to this tournament .... in some mysterious way ... but yes .... 888poker is in a fever .... some kind of Christmas fever ... in the bad sense of the word .... I hope they can Deal with their changes and do something ... otherwise all this is somehow strange and unpleasant

If you got the ticket after all, then all ended well. I read in calicul's post though, that you had to do some missions in order to get one Did you manage to win anything in the freeroll after all? If i remember right you said that the freeroll was on Sunday. It must had good payouts, with i being 20k USD.

It was a good tournament. 1st won 1010 dollars and 15th won 100 dollars. Fast blinds are not good, but money is good if you won something. A freeroll with so much money is nice for all the players who win. I hope in the future to make 8-10 minutes blinds for such games.

You are a special client for the Wheel of Fortune pajalnick! She gives you all that she has! Despite you deserve the $ 20.000 Ice Cold ticket for made $ 20 buy-in in the week. I was thinking, you used to play cash and tournament, you know that the prizes are different by each one? I read that this time you buy 4 tickets to $ 5 SnG, but just in case...

Pajalnick, i think you did not get your ticket because you drink too much. I'm kidding of course, but you must be careful in the future, with the promotions, bonuses and missions in 888poker. There it explains what you need to do and to win different tickets in freeroll tournaments. Good luck for you.

With payments like that, it was a good freeroll indeed. Winning 1k USD for a first prize in a freeroll is excellent. And even the rest of the pay outs were great. Fifteenth place paying 100 USD was not bad either. Wonder how many players this tournament had. Cause if it was like the ones in poker stars, it is not easy reaching the final table at all.

Well, you are right in this .... It seems to me that I really drink too much .... but how I do it .... I have been walking sober for a long time .... and then if some kind of stress occurs or vice versa good events ..... then I drink alcohol .... before the New Year is less than 4 days But I walk sober ..... So everything is a relatively dear friend

Yes this is a sad possibility because all this business is settled in the random matter. If they can manipulate the wheel (for nice reason in this case) they can do it for your own interest, and that confirm all the sabotage and avaricious theory. What a shame! I tried to don´t see it, but it´s increasingly obvious

Maybe there is a way to manipulate the wheel of fortune but with the condition do not be caught by 888poker. A program to stop in front of the big prize would be ideal. If you get caught, goodbye account for life. Is a big mistake than losing your account because of a scam. You must to receive what prizes you win and to be happy.

You may not winning the prizes you want, but at least they are having constant promotions. One after another, unlike with other sites. So you have a daily chance to win something. Just keep trying and you may get a good ticket again. Not that the small ones are bad

Support 888 has always been deaf and dumb in relation to its users. Reaching out to them is a waste of time ( alas). I, if you allow, will give you one advice: if something needs to be solved on 888-don't even try to write to them, just call. On the phone, they almost always decide quickly. And the answer to the mail can be waited for years))))
in this wheel the prize sector in which the ticket is drawn is very strange .... there seems to be some kind of wheel too. Good luck .... Because when I got into this sector I received ... and a ticket for $ 20,000 .... and a ticket for 3000 dollars ... and 2 tickets for 3000 dollars .... in general, the prizes are completely different ... I don’t know by chance they or it depends on the player who gets the prize ... it's hard to say

Let me see...CALICUL dear friend, I said that 888poker house is manipulating the wheel, can you understand? They are making cheats, they propose the wheel of fortune like a random prize´s giving but this is not true. And if they may manipulate the wheel, what is not manipulating by them? All your conspirative`s theories maybe truth CALICUL!

I know how it is. I have noticed in their responses this things. Often their answers are funny or with childishness. Online poker has faded a lot in the last years and guilty are those who deals with management and marketing and after that the competition. Here must a clear law to protect the players, but unfortunately this does not happen.
but with the condition do not be caught by
