Hi Today I received an email from BM with a no deposit offer from 888 and it says: FREE $8/£5 – no deposit necessary! Simply download, register, verify your email and the cash is yours.
And a link.
Well, I did that, and didn't get any money, nor an email to "verify" anything.

Hi,
The campaign goes live 4th Oct with 888 - perhaps there is some timezone difference, so it will go live later today. Everyone registering through our link should be able to get the $8 (if they qualify re the nomal T&Cs of 888).
By verify your e-mail, I think that 888 means that you should verify your e-mail with them. Not sure if you can do that somewhere in the pokerclient/cashier perhaps?
If you still have problems later today, please write 888 support, I am sure they will be able to help you get the $8.

didn't get it either. Even the chat hosts don't know anything abouth it. They are even so dumb they say you have to make a deposit. They even reffer me to terms and conditions wich don't say anything abouth making a deposit!
Jeezes, why are they so dumb???
Amorosabay, did you get an e mail?
Here is part of the chat:
Patrice: You have to make a deposit in order to claim that offer Maarten.
Patrice: Click here for the full terms and conditions of the $8 bonus
Patrice: Pay special attention to points 3&4
you: so?
Patrice: To receive the standard registration bonus you have to make a deposit.
you: i don't see anything saying saying there is a deposit needed
you: The entrant will then receive an e-mail from the Promoter asking him/her to verify his/ her e-mail address by clicking on a link within the e-mail body as a prerequisite for the Bonus to appear in the entrant's bankroll.
Patrice: In to receive the standard registration bonus.
you: i didn't get that e mail
you: so you have to click an e mail
you: not make a deposit
Patrice: Maarten you will need to respond to the e-mail then.
you: i didn't get any e mail
you: is this a scam?
you: The Bonus cannot be transferred to another poker player account before making a deposit
you: before you make a deposit
Patrice: Maarten you are the one who referred to an e-mal.
Patrice: e-mail*
Patrice: I sent you a link with the terms and conditions.
you: yes the same articles you reffered to!
you: yes the terms and conditions also reffer to
you: The Bonus cannot be transferred to another poker player account before making a deposit
you: that last suggest, you haven't made a deposit before you get the 8 free
you: you see..
you: i'm so right
you: hehe
Patrice: As explained it is in Conjunction with the standard registration bonus and in order to get that bonus you have to make a deposit.

There's not an "validate email" option. Although, my email was probably validated when I spoke to them on live chat.
I also registered for this promotion, without getting the $. But, the clock has just passed 00:01 on the 888 client, so I'll probably just have to wait.
MobManager: I spoke to them on LIVE Chat. First they told me that I had to deposit to get the bonus. When I copypasted something from this site regarding the bonus, they told me I should contact you if I didn't gget the bonus.

Posted by Neolantean: i registered a little early too, i think its sucks that you sent out the email prematurely and only tell us about the timezone problem in this thread.
If we even get the bonus.. Look at the chat-log above, according to live chat we have to make a deposit before they can transfer any bonuses.

im one step ahead, i took a screen shot of the bonus and sent it to them, cause i also didnt get the bonus, and on there site page there nothing about a no deposit bonus either,
so there no reason not to belive me this offer is out there on sites
I too just finished downloading and signing up. I did not find anywhere to verify my email. Where I am it is still Oct3. I'm confused. Did anyone receive this bonus yet?
I also download it and didn't receive email to verify , so i go to live support: Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Damien'
Damien: Hi there, sjoerd
Damien: This is Damien, welcome to 888poker/Pacific Poker Live Chat! I noticed you are in the cashier, let's make a deposit and get you playing......
Damien: How are you today?
you: good thx and you?
you: i don't come here to deposit ' i get email from bankrollmob that you give 8$
Damien: You will need to contact Bankroll Mob about this offer Sjored, as I'm unable to credit the bonus to your account
you: Hi Subscriber, Do you play different? 888poker certainly does and they want you to check out their revolutionary poker room with a FREE $8/£5 – no deposit necessary! Simply download, register, verify your email and the cash is yours.

I already have an account at 888poker, thus I can not be eligible for the no deposit bonus. No problem, maybe next time BankrollMob will give a bonus on a different pokerroom.

Hi All,
We are currently working with 888 to solve the above problems. It seems that we released the e-mail prematurely, we hope to find a solution later. Will keep you posted here.
Unfortunately the bonus is only available to certain countries, and for some reason the e-mail was released to all countries, this we are sorry about, even BRM makes an error once in a while
The allowed countries are: United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Greece, Netherlands, South Africa, India, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Norway & Finland.
