.... < ...I've said it before,...and I'll say it again... 888 sucks....!
.... < ...That's on 888,....somebody there is not updating the passwords to their games... The same thing happened yesterday in another tourney (leaderboard) from another site...! The sites publish the passwords,...and 888 doesn't apply that to the game in question...!
... < ...I guarantee that the password to get into today's game is from last week or previous...
.... < ...No password thieves....just folks who still have last weeks or previous passwords...!
.... < ...In this case, I believe either luckyflop3 runnerrunner2 or runnerrunner,....most likely runnerrunner would have got you in...
... < I used notilt34 with about 30 seconds to go in late registration,...and of course by the time I figured it out....TOO f'n late...

Really, really sorry about that, guys. Not sure why the password didn't work and yet hundreds of players managed to enter the freeroll. My guess is that an old password was used and that someone spread it. Sucks, but not much we can do about it now
Well, I have sent an email to our contact (currently on holiday) at 888poker. I hope we get things sorted before the next freeroll.

Something has happened there last night and many of us could not play in that tournament although there were 876 players if i did not mislead after the late registration. It is strange how they managed to enroll in this freerool tournament by The BankrollMob. Anyway, it happens the same i did in jackpot freeroll but then i finally managed to sign up. Last night not. I think software of 888 is guilty.

Posted by csipa001: I think BM is a bug, 2 days ago the same problem.On the other side I found a real password that exists.
You're wrong about this. The BankrollMob is a very correct site and their tournaments the same. For years they had a lot of freeroll games in many poker rooms. They were always correct when paying players who finished in the top 30 or top 50 like in 888poker. Something has happened but they certainly are not guilty in my opinion. I know who is The BankrolllMob i play few sessions in his games and always i got the money when i won.
It was possible to be registered through mobile version or in the browser. I don't know why so, but the password was correct. Perhaps technical mistake has occurred. I regret that couldn't prompt to all who haven't got on a tournament.
