m waiting for the games in this promotion to appear. Since 888 changed its software, i can't see all their tournaments anymore and this thing is a disappointment for them, because in this way they will lose customers. I want that software where we click on tournaments, free games, promotions, satellites, etc ... and the games appeared quickly and there was no need to research too much. It's very annoying now because i want to play more and this inconvenient it makes me give up.

this buy of 50 $ with prize pool of 500 K is not someting that you will very often,so nice move from 888poker to offer something like this!its great that is GTD prize pool,so probably they expect lot of players on it,so maybe prize pool will be even bigger after registration is closed!we will see on end how good this idea was!

I have a nice bankroll at 888poker and i can play this game directly, but i would like to invest only in satellites, to try a qualification with a maximum of 20% of the $ 50 buy-in. I like to play in such a major tournament and my advice is to try. Good luck.

I'm waiting for August to see what satellites are for the more interesting games and to register for a few games with a small buy-in because 888 has good series, but unfortunately they are not so frequent. I would like it to be one per month and then it would be great. Anyway, is nice with their series.

these series are the best in 888poker to make money and that's why we have to qualify here, because an important amount of money is very good, especially since we play for that. Here are good chances because there are many players, not like in regular tournaments. Good luck, Rogerio.

Personally, I find the 888 desktop application for windows 10 is best. It allows many filters which the other environments do not. Cheers

The 888poker software sometimes gives me errors when when is opened together with another room from the i poker network, but also with a google link. This has not happened before and i have windows 10. Something is not connected here and i do not know what or i have some programs that are not compatible. Cheers

Hi, You need to DL the stand alone application for all of the filters you mentioned. It's stable as well...I am wary of programs closing in a money Tournament and always make sure of that first thing. You can get the program here : https://ca.888poker.com/download-poker/

Posted by CALICUL: The 888poker software sometimes
The link I posted is for the latest version . I have it running in the background always as it is now. I'm not playing atm but easily could join a game, chat here with you, and watch youTube while playing. My sytem is not top of the line either. I have Windows 10 Pro , 12gb Ram Intel i5 dual core

I will try in november, after i buy another video card for my second PC because it is broken and has 16 GB Ram. The idea is that 888poker software had problems, even when the second PC was running. I don't like how it works and i will try to look for a better windows or programs. Their old software was better

CALICUL : I recall some issues at first when 888 upgraded from 7 to Windows 10. I have no problems now and I don't hear of any from players I know. I like this version better than the old. Maybe your issues were found in the early release. You mentioned issues with game filters, these work fine for me now You will find out in Nov
Edit: The old version is obsolete and no longer supported so you you have 4 options:
The mobile apps (I hate it), Browser version for instant play (I hate it), Stand alone version for Mac (I've never used) or Stand alone for Windows (the one discussed here). Good Luck!
