Yep, no connection possible. And if i remember corrextly this afternoon i could connect to the client, but no tables were shown in the lobby. So the problem existed for some time now. (Website with sports betting was accessible at the time)

Yes, here in Argentina was a rare situation. First in the morning (10:00am GMT) the conection was impossible. Then, until 22:00 I could connect, the poker client started but I couldn´t enter in any tournament. A message said that that tournament don´t exist...really extrange!

... < ....888poker's software is a total f'ing disaster...
... < ...Always has been,....always will be...and they are not willing to spend a few $$$ to correct the nonsense either...
... < ...I've never had to unload and then reinstall PokerStars nor PartyPoker's client,....but have had to reinstall that 888 crap at LEAST 5 or 6 times in the last few years...
... < ...They should rename themselves PooPooPoker...lol...

Actually the client software has come a long way. Back in the day, it was far more unstable than it is today, but it is still inferior to the Stars/FT client, and even the Party/bwin one. But this looked more like a problem in the server farm.

I was able to get in today after uninstall/re-install but still have issues. Tickets page shows "currently no available tournaments", even though there are tournaments scheduled for the tickets I have.

They have some issues from time to time, from what it seem, but i believe that party poker has the lead here. I have seen way more complaints about them. than any other poker site here. Probably the most buggy software. They had an update lately, so they may have resolved some of their issues, once and for all

Another day with problems in 888poker. At the local morning, when I started the poker client, a message said that the program was updating and you had to wait a while. Then, an executable started, charge some archive and then it freezed, windows offer to look for a solution in the net, etc, etc. Several times without solutions. In the evening, it started well untill now..

I honestly don't remember the last time I logged into my 888poker/888.com account. My account is very likely considered dormant/inactive. I have never been a big fan of 888poker/888.com software. I don't know why, but its lobby/table design and sound effects make me feel sick to my stomach.

ha, ha, ha...so you haven´t to see the Break Out Poker software! It has all the donk thing that 888 but re-boosted to the edge of the stupidity! I´m playing in 888poker how my first room, but I really tired about his animations. So I configured the table without animation, without messages, with four colors deck of cards, and a light table design. So I can take advantage of his promotions By the way, the software continue having problems!

Yes CALICUL, 2018 was a bad year for 888poker`s room...because I played there! Seriously the hackers attack was really hard and they don´t be well never more. Today, in the middle of a Sit and Go, the poker`s client disappear! Or the software lost the connexion, when the others programs still are functioning. But a new software is coming!!!
