hi people today i got a email from 888poker support saying that they have given me a free $8, thats great i thought but the thing is that i have already receved it yesterday and lost the lot, i thought this email is the same as the 1 before maybe they have sent again by mistake. so i downloaded the software as i deleted it, and there in my account was another $8, wow so i went on to the table and won my balance now stands at $46.23 so this is a omen(yeah) what do you guys think should i tell the support that they have sent it again by mistake and hope they just take the free $8 back or will they take all the winnings back too , what would you suggest............

I really can't imagine them taking your entire roll. At worst just the $8 - but since I'm sure they want your business they'd probably say not worry about it. TBH - I wouldn't even tell them - i seriously doubt it'd ever catch up to you.
FYI - when I took the NDB for PKR here on BRM about a year ago, it didnt work and I never got my tickets (instead of cash you received 2 X $10 entries + 1 X $5 entry for SNG/MTT). In the mean time I ended up just depositing cause i wanted to try it out. However, after a few emails etc, it eventually got sorted. But it seemed to get sorted twice - and i ended up with two sets of tickets, so $50 worth, about 24hrs apart.
I never told anyone anything lol and it never came up. This was 12 months ago now so i reckon i got away with it lol

As kidpoker said, they aren't going to miss this $8, but on the other side is up to you to decide to be honest or not (honesty is a big word in front of little $8) act as you feel more comfortable.
I don't think they could keep all your winnings in any case, after all you won money from other players and 888 should give losers their money back ..... too much work.
Me I should say and I guess they will thanksgive you and let every single dollar in your account.

i dont think they ever do soemthing by mistake (ok maybe sometimes) but something similar happenend to me to. william hill took over CD poker, so as a welcome i recieved, beside some other tings, free cash.. that guy gave me twice the amount, i immediatly told him (live chat)...his reply was jsut a smiley.. so im sure you can keep it, even if it was a mistake...they will honor your honesty and say "keep it" or "see it as a gift" by mistake. best experience i made is to be honest...and if you dont get it...well its not "yours" anyways anyways so who cares.. being honest paids out or lets say....feels good

be honest (as you were by sending them an e-mail ) and tell us how it went ... im sure they wont take all your money, it isnt worth getting a bad reputation for 8 $

do not tell them, because it is a honest mistake by them. What is $8 for them, just play with the money and build up your bankroll. Have fun and maybe I will get lucky one day.
