| Title: | Unbelievable Bad Runs | 2 out of 2 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I have been playing online poker for 10 years on most of the well-known site. I have never known such a bad distribution of hands in all of my ten years playing. In addition, there always seems to be one player at the table who hits everything. I don't believe that they have a proper random number generator, or that the software is faulty or there is something more sinister going on. AVOID THIS SITE! | |

| Title: | cashout does not pay full | 4 out of 4 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I have to say this as the post by pokerassets.com is very misleading. I can proove that 888 did not pay me what I should have got and I presented 888 with this evidence and they could not explain why and then a month later they sent another mail blaming the bank. I checked with my bank and no issue. 888 will blame everyone else but themselves. I find it offensive when someone says that there are no issues whatsoever with payment as they may have had no issue but they cannot speak for everyone. I know several other players who have had problems many of whom have left 888. I decided to stay a little longer to see if its a once off and it if it happens again im out of here. I dont want to scare people away from 888 as it is a good enjoyable poker experience but people have a right to know about any wrong doing or payment problems. | |

| Title: | bet or fold tables | 44 out of 45 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| As a player who used to play the nosebleeds on 888, it is extremely obvious that something is just not right. 2 flushes, then 3 straights followed by fullhouse. Yeah right that happens. Once you also become chip leader on these tables there's no point in even trying to chase them down. You'll just keep donating $ after $. When you begin predicting the outcomes more often than not you know its time to stop. This is not a sour review. I won big and lost even bigger and had some fun until the ball finally drops on your mind and you say ' what the fck' am I doing. I emplore all of you boycott these dishonest companies. Their life line is their rake so hitem where it hurts and stop making others rich from your or your family's money. If only 1 or 2 people take this advice then that's money that these crminals don't get. | |

| Title: | thieving c---s | 37 out of 38 readers found this review helpful | |

| Everyone seems to go on and on about bad beats, well f--- bad beats thats poker but stealing from cashouts is not poker. I cashed out $350 which was supposed to get back €282. But someone got sticky hands at the 888 department and I only received €230.
What is worse is when I contacted support they are out of hours. Then I was told by my bro to check this site out to see if anyone else got done aswell and I could not believe the number of posts with similar complaints. They say 888 blame currency rates but I checked the rates every day and €278 was the lowest so how do the f---ers explain the loss of €50.
Im not wasting any more time on this site and if the sudden loss of support is anything to go by I think 888 is having severe difficulties that it is not publicising.
STAY CLEAR OF THIS SITE BECAUSE EVEN WHEN YOU WIN YOU LOSE IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| Title: | strange | 34 out of 35 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| A person can learn alot about a site without even logging in. Just browse the site and watch the tables. I have been doing this for a while now as I was considering making my first deposit. One thing struck me as strange was names with a dot in the middle of them eg joe.bloggs are appearing everywhere. They all seem successful players and all are british and most seem to be on the site no matter the time. A number of them have been there 24 hours in the day.
Now I maybe overreacting and they may just be dedicated and good players but it is enough to stop me from depositing here as I just dont trust it. I like the graphics though and the software seems stable and there are good freerolls and they give $8 free no deposit required.
If anyone else has seen this and thinks its strange or something else about the site good or bad please post.

| Title: | 888 is no poker | 31 out of 32 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| Hi everybody, I just cashed out my remaining funds and deleted 888 from my computer. During the last months of playing on this site it became more and more obvious (up to a point where it was simply undeniable) that 888 poker is programmed to protect weak players and make it hard for good players to play at a winrate that reflects their knowledge of the game. How do they do it? Simple.
A. You won't get much value out of great hands. 2-3 handed at a 6 max table, great hands will either lose to 2-3 outs on the flop or the board will turn into something like 3h4h5h6hAc when you play KcKd. 50/50 your AA/KK/QQ will be folded to you preflop by the same opponents that usually raise you with complete garbage.
B. At the same time, the weak players will be rewarded for playing hands that no solid player would ever call preflop. But that doesn't matter, since you will constantly lose to hands/boards that you should rarely witness at tables that usually only involve 2-3 players per hand.
C. For every winning session, you will get a few major setups/coolers/suckouts to make sure you don't win too much too quickly. Example: Today I won 4 stacks NL30 in a 2h session. I came back 2h later and quickly lost 4 stacks. I flopped one A high nut flush and lost to trips 2 handed. I flopped one KQ nut straight on AJT rainbow that AT called all in on 8 turn for a river T. I lost my only AQ TpTk to AA (3 handed pot, well played by AQ). And now the best one today: I reraised to 16BB preflop after a 4BB raise and 1 caller. The initial raiser called, flop came down 278 rainbow. He raises, I reraise all in because I know he is a lose donk, and he calls me with an A7 (what!?) --- an turns another miracle 7 (WHAT?!).
This is the most obvious issue with 888 poker. You get like 5 monster flops a day - and you can predict that you are gonna lose at least 4 as soon as you're running good. You get AA in for good ONCE - and you lose to a 2 outer turn. You get a nut straight ONCE - and you lose it to a full house because AT calls you on the turn. You will get ONE A high flush on the flop - and lose it to yet another full house 2 handed. You will get ONE set and lose it to a 789TJ board with 4 suited cards and villain playing Q6o. The ONLY top 2 pair AQ on the flop I hit today was also done on the turn. And this is only what happened today! (I also saw QQ vs KK vs AA all in pre today for quads AAAA, how's that for a random hand).
This pattern will repeat itself all day, all week, and all month. In the end, good players will get very little value of their hands, and the donks will be protected to continue raking in money. In the end, the only winner is 888.
There is a lot more bullsh-- to 888 poker, e.g. the missing money when you cash out, or the obvious collusion at the high stakes tables that 888 doesn't give a tiny bit horse dung about.
Please don't play at 888.
Thank you! | |

| Title: | disgusted | 30 out of 31 readers found this review helpful | |

| I have been playing for over 30yrs and 888poker is by far the worst display of manipulated cards I have ever seen. Either alot of the players are phsycic or the game is fixed. Play on this site for one day and you will know beyond a reasonable doubt that the site is dishonest. The support staff will try to feed you crap like "more hands per hour online" like that some how changes the odds of hitting an inside straight on the river. Then their advice to you will be to play higher stakes lmao. Gee good idea 888, you screwed me in low stakes so why not play higher stakes so you can really rob me. This site is no better than a common low life theif and should be treated like one, either put out of buisiness or given a good old fashioned ass kicking! | |

| Title: | terrible value for money | 27 out of 28 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I played on Full Tilt before the closure and I play on Pokerstars, Pkr, Paddypower, Bettson and Party Poker and I have to say 888 is by far the poorest value for money and service.
Lets start with the value for money issue. 888 forces players to play in US$ therefore when you cashout they rob you blind. The bonuses they offer have been known to tie up your initial deposit until you meet wagering requirements where as on other sites its the bonus only which is tied up. The prices on their sportsbook are poor value when comparisons are made to most other reputable sites.
Secondly the service issue. Most of 888s players may have noticed the loss of the support service. I went to it at 8pm GMT and got a message saying out of hours try again later. I tried at 12.00pm GMT and 12am GMT and got the same message so when are they actually there.
The site is a bit pathetic really and other things like house players dont help either. I cant proove it but no one can and thats why they do it because its easy to get away and cover their tracks. Setup the account in a genuine persons name and details and have him play on the site with the aid of a super user system which has been done before on another site which I wont name and they only got caught because of a clinically retarded eejit. Pay him a commision everyones happy.
Shills argue Why do this when they are profitable. I can name so many filthy rich ppl that are corrupt like media owners, politicians and sports ppl that have been corrupt but obviously dont want to bve sued. Irish politician in the 90s, Snooker player more recently are clues.
GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD always wins u shill morons so open your eyes before criticising others for pointing out corrupt organisations. | |

| Title: | scamming pricks | 26 out of 27 readers found this review helpful | |

| I thought I seen it all until I gave a m8 $100 to deposit on his account and transfer to mine because banks dont open at the weekend and I wanted to use sportsbook for the weekends matches. He transfered it and I went to do a bet and it kept saying insuficient funds but in the balance it said the $100 was there so I contact support and got a shock. They told me because the money was transfered that it would have to be wagered before it could be used on sportsbook. I said "you got to be f---ing kidding me I deposit my money not bonus money and you tell me that I have to gamble it on poker before i can use or withdraw it". She replied Its site policy to which I replied that info should be clearly stated when making the transfer.
I am now making it my policy never to deposit on 888 ever again. I have read the other posts about withdrawal skimming which I thought was people having a laugh but I am now a beiever.
WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TRANSFER MONEY ON THIS SITE. | |

| Title: | LMAO at all u shills | 25 out of 26 readers found this review helpful | |

| 888 is one site where bluffing does not exist because you cannot bluff when your opponent always has something to call with. Players are drawing dead less frequently than asteroids hit the earth. Just far too action orientated to generate rake and all the shills who laugh at the reviews that talk about sites rigging their software are now looking very stupid indeed. Partypoker segregating players and its not the end of all of this by a long shot. I just wish that a government grew a pair of balls and actually stood up to these crooks. | |
