as we can see,they only concern about money and what you will wager first,instead of making something better for players,update software,better bonuses or wahtever!now with this rules,they will just make players to go on other poker sites!but yeah,they should know what they are doing!

The software from 888 has problems and i noticed another absurd thing. When i get up from the PC and leave 888 games after 20 or 30 minutes he crashes. I think it's an intentional thing to make players to stay as close as possible to games...

It´s really the worst perfomance of 888poker! They are accumulating all the bad bugs that can be possible! This kind of bug, or a similar one, I soffer in Winamax poker. But is something of european´s legal issues. I wrote to the support because I couldn´t make the adjust of the time without activities, and the soft shut down in 20 minutes. Now I think, same thing happen in PokeStars!

I have no problems with Pokerstars. I didn't see anything serious here, because they have a solid and well developed system. 888Poker had many issues, that made the program not work many times and it is weak like the I poker network.

We talk about some problems that 888poker (or other poker room ) is facing , because we want to help them spot and correct them . You help someone when you refer his weaknesses and how to fix them , not by not saying anything at all
But at the same time we aknowledge the fact that we really appreciate sth when we lose it from our life , when it's no more ours . 888poker is one of the 2,3 or 4 best poker rooms in the world , with countless promotions , freerolls , freebuys etc also a lot of fish , so as to be able easily to build your bankroll from pennies and win big money , the better you are the more money you'll win . Even I , who ain't good , was able to build a $5 deposit into some hundreds of dollars , it's really such a great pokerroom , such a pity they decided to leave Greece .
Also the same I am saying for bwin.gr , ACR , Pokerstars , I might have some complaints but on the other side if they decided to leave my country this would be bad , I would miss them cause they are great pokerrooms , offering value you cannot get it anywhere else . Also the same is applied for some online casinos or sportsbetting brands/companies .
BTW , this regulation obstacle , I mean to impose a tax and receive a 15% , 20% tax (unfortunatelly in some countries more) is fair and logical . But to sell very expensive licenses asking a great amount of money from the sportsbetting/poker/casino companies , before they are able to start working in the country and see how many customers they can attract , how many profits , etc , that's a clear way imo to set great obstacles to brands that want to enter the market on purpose , only to protect specific interests probable of domestic great betting industies or local land besed casinos . It's really a matter of corruption of politicians and not good/fake free economy and democracy (especially if you take into consideration other obstacles besides licence or fines that they impose to newcomers , making their life hard to go on on this market , so predictable , so fake free economy , not for the good of the people's interests which demands a free economy with as many ''players'' in the market as possible for a healhier competion , offers , etc , but it's only good for some pockets and the bribes they take )

CALICUL, in your country don´t you have to be active or the PokerStars software shut down at twenty minutes of waiting? That´s happened in my country. But PS allow restart with one click, in Winamax your nickname and you password is never safed, so you have to charge it every shut down And antonis321, I´m agree about the needed of this poker´s room in our daily menu. All would be worst without it. But, in the middle, they are managing a lot of money of the players and I would wish that they make some invest to improbe their playing

I dont say that. I was referring to 888poker, that crashes when i'm missing and sometimes Netbet have same problem. Pokerstars have a good software and the next withdrawal here, i will make deposit there. I want to play few little tournaments and few bets.

well problem is that they dont read this for sure and even if they will read it,they will not change anything and we will still have problem witht their software!they need to change whole software,not just one thing! and about this that they are 1 of 2,3 or 4 best poker rooms,you only have 3 or 4 big poker rooms

I think that we are, now, loving 888poker and claiming for their bugs. But, perhaps, when they fixes their software´s trouble they might make disappear their promotions, or a big part of its. Historically, they didn´t have too many promotions. They had the Wheel, the Poker Club, and some promotional group of tournaments for each period. They starting with the $500 freeroll...(now $200)

It has become a commonplace... for 888 that their software crashes in every day. I guess that is the reason for which they do not have many players in freeroll games or in satellites who starting from 1 cent and climbs. Gamblers will migrate to other better places, if they do not remedy their problems.

Initially with these crashes i thought it was my fault because i had two open software (888 poker and netbet) but is not the case. I saw that you have the same problems and things are clear for me now. Must be improved or they will have to lose.

It's amazing how this pokerroom have so many problems... I stay 888 only few months and it's difficult to understand why they not clean those problems ? Never had so many problems in any sites before. When start it seems to be good site with many interesting promotions but those problems cut lot of thinks to play this site. Someone here say before that they know it but still no have idea to fix it , maybe they really hope that those gifts after problems will be enough for players to stay site and keep playing... For me it's important that site works correctly , think it's important for most player also.

Yes , the great pokerrooms are 3-4 , players tend to play only on a very few sites , because the value overall reputation , history , promoton , great players' pools and better prizes , more secure invironment , etc . But ofcourse , in smaller rooms , if they are good and this can be said by many players who tried them , there you can meet a lot of fish , good opportunities to win some extra cash (besides the cash you make on the big pokerrooms ) . Ofcourse , if we had more great pokerrooms , not only 3-4 , but more than 10 , things would be better in terms of far better competition (not monopoly/oligopoly)a and therefore better offers/promotions/opportunities for the players , and rooms would feel more obligated to change for the better , because of market competition , whether this is 888poker graphics/software or ACR/PartyPoker connectivity/stability , deisconnections or other problems
Till things get better , I see the whole picture and try to take advantage of the good things/offers/chances of pokerrooms , and try to face/deal with their bad things/disadvantages with understanding/omprehension

These problems need to be remedied as soon as possible, because if they are late with the repairs, then 888 will bear the consequences of a poker room with only fewer players than before. I saw yesterday problems and again sit outs. Very sad.

It's daily tradition to have problem with this site and with this poker app with android tablet , is it same if play with computer or laptop?? Never try because it's comfort to play tablet ... but only if program works many hands lost because of problems with program , one time with all in situation and it's more comfort if you see what happens... not only when you login again and understand that my hand wasn't lucky. So is this problem with playing tablet or is it with computer or laptop also ???

I only play on PC, and the bugs (some of them, because I not soffer all that you told) is presents here. I think that in android tablet maybe more problems occur. Android, and tablet connections are a system less stable than any OS for a PC. In fact, I haven´t any problem since I wrote this thread, and to be fair, we has serious problems with other poker´s rooms recently, as Party Poker!

It's not so stable like others but I have problem only with 888poker app , all other sites work normal almost every time , mean all sites have some kind of problems sometimes but not every day like this 888 app what is not for these days ... but anyway thank you for answer , it's always nice to have answer , not only blaa blaa... have a good week there

And antonis321, I´m agree about the needed of this 
many hands lost because of problems with program , one time with all in situation and it's more comfort if you see what happens... not only when you login again and understand that my hand wasn't lucky.
