Hi, I am doing a bit of research on poker sites. Namely 888 poker. There is just one thing that I need to be sure of.
Do sites like 888 send you anything through the post (postal address)?
Many thanks,
Richard

I am not real sure what you want to know here.

Do you mean unsolicited mail like promos and offers, or do you mean, will they send you a check?

I've gotten regular mail from only 1 site that i remember and that was Poker Host with promotional offers for depositing. I'm sure some others do but probably not to many as email is the way they usually handle it.

I agree the only site I have ever gotten mail from is Poker Host. I do not think postal mailing is a standard practice.

I got a disc and a welcome letter from intertops with a code for $10 free bucks in the casino. I built it to $30 playing black jack then got support on chat to figure out how to move it to the poker side. They said I had to make $600 in wagers and I asked why my black jack wagers were not crediting me, apparently black jack did not count. I had a choice of 4 games, one being slots, screw that.
So I played pai-gong poker or something like that. I got it down to $250 before I busted out.

I've received a few things through the mail from a couple sites, but I wouldn't say it's standard at all.

LOL. Pai-gong poker. :p

It's not the norm to get mail, but I have had some sites send out stuff (rarely, but it does happen). Intertops was one, with the same deal that Poofy had mentioned. Or, if they have different formats (like a casino or sportsbook), they'll send me promo stuff to try to get me to try those out.

I remember Poker Host sent all kinds of crazy mail. They even sent me some lame card protector. I'm sure they wasted a lot of money on mail marketing.

You know what, now that I think about it, I seem to remember getting some mailers from 888 when they were still open to US players. But that was so long ago now, I could be wrong (don't think so though; see my signature).

OK, looking at your sig, can you give me the correct lottery numbers?

And can you explain women to me, while you are at it???? :)

Pokerhost and Intertops, and Oddsmaker(very shady site offering poker, sportsbook and casino, always giving you "free" 100 to play with etc) but nothing from the major sites
