Hello guys, I registered at 888 yesterday and got some free tickets $1 and won $25 from the winnings of the tournaments. I got a e mail today saying that my account was suspended and they were looking into some of the games I played.

They said that I somehow had a unfair advantage over my opponents ( Which I have no clue how they think I do ) I think that 888 are doing this is really unfair and unjustified I'm playing with the cards that I get, no cheating was involved. Really not happy with 888 at the moment.

They thinks you are running some kind of banned software when you play or you are a part of collusion group.

Ask for more details from them .

The same hapened with me. My wife opened a account in 888 Poker months ago. She received some tickets and 2 dollars. She played two tickets, just won nothing and then stop to play. She didn't even use the 2 dollars.

I never had interest in that room, cause I didn't like the interface. But I had joined 888 just for play the CC freeroll. I received the promotions ticktes, played two tournaments and stayed out of the cash. Then one week later I played a 1 dollar S&G with a ticket, won and got the prize of 4 dollars.

When I went into my account the next day, I was told that it was blocked, and they suggested me to read the email they sent me. There was written that I was banned from 888 poker and that I had lost my all my earnings, including the money I could had deposited. Luckily, I have
not made a deposit yet.

I know the room has its rules, but why they just block me AFTER I won something? If I had made a deposit and lost all the money without winning nothing, my account still should be avaliable? Or worst, they would block me after I make a deposit and take the money?
I don't think this is really correct.

This is such a politics of 888. To block (or restrict as they like to say) account for nothing after winnings or after try to withdraw. They follow up strong new players and think that after their blocking no one will fight for some dollars. Support they have is very slow because of it too. They very very don't like winning regs.

My Wife and I had problems with PS/FT.
We both use the same IP address, so they blocked our accounts.

They fixed the problem after fully verifying accounts and proving who we were.

Though this shouldn't happen to players like me. I'm glad they have these things in place but in all honesty it's a bit stupid.

To be honest, i got the free tickets and won a sti and go with 22$ and felt like after the "freemoney" i won i never had one more good hand in any play, always losing and almost any matchup. I felt like they just dont want you 2 win money without a deposit and make you lose the money anyways so you'll have to

... but you're not playing against 'them'... you're playing against other players like yourself

Finally back on 888

Finally got back into 888 poker finally, after a month long investigation they realised they made a mistake saying that I was a cheat I was upset with them and they gave some $5 tickets to play with and $10 Free which was also a nice added bonus :D

Well, in general there are problems with poker rooms if there are 2 players from same household. They are afraid that players with abuse those welcome tickets and bonuses by creating account for each family member over 18.
