Icequeen got this right. It is a promotion. They are trying to get as many in their site as they can, hoping that they will make a revenue from new joining players. Even from old ones that are inactive. But i dont think it is in their best interest giving away that million, so they have made the rules, fitting their agenda

Wahay! third time lucky on the spinny. Wheel thingy. Today I won a 2k ticket. Looking forward to the chance to use it. I now have four tickets. Only need to get another 6 to be able to achieve the ten top 100's in a row! Good luck to everyone playing this promo.

It's okay it could be worse, I went nine in a row on the last wheel one from a month or so back. Hit nothing for today's though.
Also, has anyone not received ant tickets yet through the wheel? I won three from two spins a few days ago and they still have not come into my account. Weird, unless its a 72 hour odd wait thing.

The prize you win can take a couple of days or so to come through,today I got the congratulation pop up for the tickets from the last 2 days. So far wheel is good to me -3 spins and 3 wins,2 are only step 1 tickets but it is better than try tomorrow.

Where does the 888poker has the spin game? In the poker platform or in their internet page. They are blocked to us and cant check anything. Stupid lawmakers. And i bet they have failed miserably with the whole blocking thing. I doubt they have increased the income due to taxes. Anyway....

It is usually shown in that advert box at the top of the 888 program page as well which takes you to the spin page. My tickets actually came in today so you are right Klash.
Played my first one of these £2000 freerolls this morning and went out in 5000th or something to some two out's bull but he had me covered in chips by a big margin so it no complaints tbh. To get a few gold coins in a row is going to need some major luck I believe especially with the amount of people who sign up every time.

Just noticed that there is one running in 20 minutes which means there are actually three tournaments running a day.
Currently there is just under 3500 people registered(Since it is early in the morning) which would probably be the optimal time to play once a day if someone is serious in going for those gold coins if it stays around this many people registered.
Edit:
Really starting to get annoyed with freerolls on 888. I play well and keep losing to donks and luck chasers. Just lost three hands I should have won in a space of five minutes to a guy who kept calling me down with opened ended straight draws and hitting every time. Low card ones of course. Variance is a myth.
Played 5 2K free rolls so far cashed in 3 for a total of 3 doing the 30 a day sports bet challenge for more tickets breaking even 19-19 record not easy getting those gold chips GL.
I win 2 gold token for the first place but its very hard to win token at each tournament. I hope i dont lose the next one but make 204$ so i free and fun good luck to all

Well done to Mathieupallo who looks like has won one of the tournaments.I have yet to play one and just won another 2k ticket so looks like there will be lots of free entries and big fields.I think you could possibly win a gold coin a couple of times in a row if very lucky but even 4 or 5 takes a lot of luck.

Currently just trying to log into 888 and experiencing a few technical difficulties. I'm sure it's my end of the line and not theirs. As soon as I do, I am going to spin the spinny thingy and hope to win a lovely prize and then register for this evenings freeroll.

Anyone playing in the $2000 one running now? Such a donk fest from the first hand. Seen some pre all ins with some junk and the blinds are only on 50/100.
Started off with QQ and doubled up so sitting nice while the idiots kick themselves out.
Edit:
I spoke to soon. Got buggered over by a chaser once again and myself, and I could have saved 2k but knew that of those players had hit a chased flush and pushed thinking just have all of my chips as I am getting fucked off with chasers always hitting when I am doing well and get a good hand.

hello, I can't click on the lobby to see my gold chip page and again with the spin,it doesn't work ... Plus in the last 3 days i completed my daily challenges, so i should received 9 tickets so far, because i completed the ones with 3 tickets. But i got none. I saw that there are some country restricted, but it doesn't say wich one, or what challenge. I did send them an email earlier today, but still no asnwer. Anyone have this problem? Played my 3 tickets so far. today was the last, and got $0.20 from the tourney. Hard to stay alive if you don't hit anything.

Wait one more day if you have not received them then email 888 and tell them whats happening and how they can fix it.
Regarding the gold chip page it should appear in the top banner part after a while and so should the spin link. Usually just quitting and re-logging in to the 888 program brings up a pop up the spin page as well.

Same problem completed the sports betting challenge 3 days in a row and still waiting for 9 tickets emailed them but still no tickets i guess it's a 72 hour wait time for tickets.
