I'm really wonder me why 888 on every site got a high rating ,most times 9/10 or more. I thing the buy the rating.
On first i play on 888 for a long time,and they have very good promotions.Yeah here they have 10 from 10 points.
But you must wait 5-8 days for a cashout 0 from 10 points for me. The Android APP is very Bad lags,no multi table,very slow. 1 from 10 points. The support is in many times very Bad too 3 from 10 points.
But on every site they get very good ratings.So i mean they must buy this ratings.
Every APP i play have multi table,only 888 not. The most Apps i play runs very good by me,only 888 not I must wait on other sites 1-2 day sometimes 3 for a cashout 888 = 8 days maybe its the name
Only in the Promotion they are really good.Thats the only reason why i play there.
I write only for The Android APP,maybe the PC version is mich better i dont know.
But all other mobiles from 888 ,like sports,casino are very slow too.Very poor for a great company like 888.
I made sports bets by unibet i think is the same Software and Unibet is very fast.

Waiting a bit for a cash out, is not a big deal. It is a sure one. Better wait a couple more days and get it at the end. And from what we here they are keep having promotions. SO why not getting high ratings

They are one of the biggest sites on the net by now. So a lot of players like it there. Came a bit as a surprise to me, as i always thought Casino Games and Sports Betting had higher priority for the company, and the poker room was an afterthought. The client software improved over the years, and they pay up, even if it takes a while.

Yeah im playing by 888 since years ,my level is 81 now. But there make nothing that The games run better in the time. I find they can get a good rating maybe a 8 but a 9,5 is to high in my meaning. I read a few times on different sites 888 have a good APP for playing Poker. And i thing WHAT ,what is he telling,for 100% he had not playing the APP.Or he dont know what a good APP is. Only you can play with APP, means not that is a good APP in My meaning. And the only think why the cashout takes so long,is you have 3 days to reserve the withdraw.And this is not really serious for a great company.
Btw: in these moment a get a message from Skrill. My withdraw from Betway it takes maybe 2 hours

I think that a lot of people are actually enjoying 888. I like it but I like Party Poker more, and I see no reason to play at more then one room. So I don't really think that they are buying their ratings. I just think that they've earned the good ratings they have.

I liked 888 for the freerolls, there's always something going on that you can join in on if you don't want to spend cash. I did find that their "customer service" was better than PokerStars, in that when you had an online chat with someone from the site, that person really tried hard to answer the questions and satisfy you. I appreciate that. However, I haven't played on 888 much this year at all. And when I do (or did) play it was on my laptop so I can't comment on how 888 functions on an android or as an app.

Its kinda of an exaggeration, to start complaining a bout a site, rating it as a bad one, because their app in whatever the OS is like android for example is a good one. They have their main site in windows. Mobility, isnt the main concern for many sites. AT least that is what i believe.

I think you are right mober,and this is not good for a company they dont see we have 2018. Many user have only a mobil device. I know many people they have not a PC or laptop. Me too. The only reason today for have a PC for many people today is gaming,work or making different think of arts . Yesterday i hear in the radio thats these year the first time more people play mobile games as PC games. So i dont understand the great companys ,thats many Apps from the big sellers not have really good ones.Some are OK but many times they have little bugs over month.
As Mira Poker Start here the offer i install the APP. A little company with a fantastic APP. All runs good and very fast.No different between mobile or PC Version so its possible. But what the great companys make ,they pump up the Apps with a lot of stupid advertise.No wonder thats the Apps runs not good.

The big companies usually have more than just poker on offer, and when they stuff their whole portfolio in one app, this app will end up a bit unwieldy and overloaded. So i can understnd the concentration on PC versions.

If you are multi tabling, then it is not easy to play in a mobile version. And the "serious" players must be multi tabling for sure. So a pc is the ideal one for this. But if you play a couple of tables only, then it wont ba that hard to play in a tablet i think.

Posted by Nightkid: yo siempre juego en pc nomas porque si llego a jugar en el cel me matan en el trabajo o peor me rajan jajaja y mirando esto no sabia que habia juegos d poker que tambien subian niveles ._.
Brother...you wrote in spanish (argentinian) and this is not allow. Did you forgot the translator or it didn´t work? But about 888, I only play poker and it´s fine for me. They have a lot of promotions and there are freerolls of differents sites (like BRM) every days. And, yes Nightkid, there are a Club Level where you have freerolls for each one....Best Place!

You can look at mira Poker and William Hill on this Android apps you have multi table.And i think not as you need multi table to be a serious player. Multi table is only a Kind of online Poker. You can be a winning player without multi table and you have not so many stress when you play maybe 1-2 table and not 20 or 100. Btw thats means not that i not play multi table but Multi table have nothing to do with real Poker. Multi table is only mathematic. I say not its Bad but when you will be a really good and real Poker player forget online.When you will be a real serious Poker player only live Poker counts.
@ nightkid i dont have say the site is complete b******t,i have say before the promotions by 888 are one of the Best of the market

Yes i think it is such situations to many things where rating is not the real situation. In many times rating can be buy or created from people who are very interested to have such rating so to jave reap situation you have to try things yourself

Can you multi table with ease on a tablet? You will need a mouse plus a big screen for it. So why not playing on a pc, or a laptop ? With 1-2 tables you can play on a tablet, but the ones grinding sngs for example, playing tens each time, i doubt they are using one.

I dont know how many tables i can play on the tablet,the most i play was 3 or 4 i think. I dont like to grind sng ,i play multi tournaments or cashgame and for me are two tables enough. I will have control over the game and see the action on the table to find the right player not only play mathematic how its on grinding sng. Thats gives not only one way to play Poker,every player must find this own way to play. Some like NL some PLO ,some sng and other players Like tourneys or cash. I will have fun when i play Poker,so grinding for me is boring and a lot of stress by so many tables.
I decide for a few years to sell My PC. My life was only work,then PC and a little bit Party on weekend. But i spend too much time on PC, i was in a gaming Clan, i make music,visuals for my own,work with pic ,playing games,a lot of work for the Clan and so on. So my whole life was the most times around on PC. That was a good time and sometimes i miss it,most to make music and visuals. But i go to another town and have a time not a PC there.And find a lot of other good think that i forget. So i sell my PC and i have a dog now for a few years,they need a lot of time too. And i know when i buy i PC again,that will me cost a lot of time again So the tablet is the best thing for me

Big decition watoba, in some time of our life less is more...If it is good for you, and if Mober acept it, I give you my congratulations! But, with the "real" and "serious" poker player, I think that all of you are creating a category that don´t exist. I only know the "Pro": players who works in poker, "Regulars": almost all of them are Pros but also could find people who don´t need poker´s money, "Recreational: like me and a lot of mobers. Where you play don´t define what kind of player are you, only your context.

Thank you maragatero and Yes i see a dokumention about these players and sure some of them make money. But in my meaning is this not real Poker,they have 30/50/100 table open and use Poker tracker and so on,and yes they must know the game,but grinding sngs its how i say before only mathematica ,when you have so many tables open.And is a very hard work too. This people i see on TV can see a big Casino from this home,but they never goes to the Casino.Maybe they know that they will lost money on live games.So they playing only online and no Poker tracker on the Casino table But all other thinks thats Poker make so fantastic and exciting you find only on live tables. Online Poker can not have all these thinks.So for me a real and serious Poker player is a live player. I say not which one is better or not.You can have great winnings and so on in online Poker.And playing very good Poker. Its only my meaning that live Poker is the complete Poker.Nothing can beat a night on a Poker table in a Casino for me.
