Anything can happen with a site. You never know at the end. But i think you cant compare 888poker with PKR. PKR was a much smaller site than 888poker is. At least the way it is now. I wouldnt say it is a site you need to worry about.
today the client 888poker worked stably ... but .... there is one thing but ..... he slowed down .... and when I was playing there was a fear that the client would suddenly stop working ... but I did not happen ... but my opponent's 1-on-1 sitngow looks like it happened .... after two hands he turned off and turned on only a year ago he almost took everything from him

Oh i made good money by pkr,they had a_few good tourneys with not so many players and many people dont know thats you can use the site in 2D ,when you had use 2D then pkr was like any_other site
And sure pkr was smaller like 888 but as i see the big jackpots by blast and then thats Skrill,netteller and paysafe are not longer available,i rembember me directly was happens by pkr.
And really not serious for a site like 888 was.I deposit 25with skrill to play a little bit slots,i made after 1-2 h 40$ and wont cashout with skrill,but then is was not possible only bankwire. And in all years thats i played by 888 i use only Skrill. The email thats Skrill are not longer was availble i got 3 days later. So i will never again made a deposit by 888, i play only freerolls now there.

It seems like I heard in some place...Whatever, 888poker start to play stable and I could play my precious S&G, I was missing it! In another poker`s room, they are not able for the low buy-in that 888 have. And, by the way, in this new stage the wheel return to give me a prize: the old and dear ticket for $1500 freeroll!
What the hell all these complaints? Seeing that all of you kept playing there during and after the attacks and kept complaining about how slow and troublesome everything - while they are literally mitigating DDoS - you have to wonder after a while maybe not everything here was the sites fault....

This would explain why I had to delete my app. Then tried to re download it and hen it wouldn't download and once I did get it going. It wouldn't take me to the login screen .if it did then I would put in my info then it would just load n load n load for hours at a time with no success on loging in. Great to see that 888 is working hard on this issue
the client works stably but a little slows down .... is it all players like that ... .... or is this my computer does not want to pull this software? ... If so, then all probably this is due to the fact that the client was slightly changed .. .. But of course we need radical changes ... the client is outdated

In my place, all is working fine, but after all the site`s problem, you couldn´t think about your computer`s fail. By the way, I play only a few sit and go, and a couple of the $10000 freeroll of the Royal Crown. I don´t want to be surprised with a new shut off in the middle of a good tournament!

When you see demo writing here, it runs ok, and even better than before, that says something... If you take in mind his earlier comments about the 888poker And if it was a ddos attack as they have claimed, nothing they could have done to prevent it. They always find a new way
today everything works great .... The client does not slow down ... it's very happy ... I hope that the problem is fixed forever ... of course you need to update the client but it probably will not be soon .... Well, let's play on the old the client is likely to update it someday

Yes, the poker´s room has returned to the normality. A couple of days ago I think that it works fine but a small bug was there. Suddenly, when I was doing my frustratedly ritual, the wheel gave a ticket to me. Then I knew that the system has a trouble. But after this, all was right the wheel gave me nothing again!

There is an extreme decision dule-vu. I will be afraid to leave 888poker because I play the 90% of my poker`s time there. I`m used with their games and promotions. I have there my loyalties points...is hard for me think in leaving it. But the situation with the DDOS hack make me think in start playing more often in another poker`s room!

well I dont have money there and I use only free tickets and free offers at casino for playing at their site!I understand you when you say that most of points and everything is on this site and its hard to start playing on party poker of poker stars,but this situation is not normal!who know when similar thing will happen again!
I like 888poker so there are quite a lot of freerolls ............ and when I run out of money I do not run to the terminal to put money on the account ............ but simply I'm playing freerolls ........... Of course sometimes I put money on the account but it happens very rarely ........... also how do I withdraw money from the account very rarely ..... ........... I'm interested in the game process

The matter is that no one poker`s room is save of these attacks. In fact, Poker Star and Party Poker were attacked before 888poker. The only difference was how they resolve the situation and how many time they lost in it. So, 888poker still give me some things that another sites don´t, then I still playing there!

Really dule-vu, you didn´t do anything reprehensible or offensive. Could it be a miss click or an old enemy? But I think like you, if someone did it intentionality he/she would have to explain it. The snippers are don´t welcome in this forum. I almost always forget the thumb. The threads that move me (positive or negatively) are only a few...
