Will 888 let me off?

Basically, I played on Stars whilst under-age and have been banned for life. It was a big mistake and I was stupid for doing it.

I also created an account on 888 whilst under-age and totally forgot about it, I didn't deposit there and as far as I know, I've never even played a game there. I think I just created the account just to watch others play and to play with practice money when I got bored.

If I explained to 888 that the birth date on my account is incorrect and I was under-age when I created the account, do you think they'll be okay with it and just change the DOB of the account?

hmm..ur a bad boy underage gambling tsk tsk :p. but i think the best way is just to make a completely new account. and start fresh. ur old acounts were empty anyways no? they change DOBs all the time tho if the user put it in wrong. but iono if u tell them u were underage that they will change it.

No I don't want to create a new account because that would mean I have multiple accounts.

But yes, I've never deposited or played for real money on there.

You should be fine if you only used it for play money. Email support and tell them your situation. Leaving out the bit about being banned from stars would be wise.

Just email them saying you were just looking at your account and noticed the year of your birthday is not correct and ask them to correct it.

They will probably think it was just an accidental error and change it. I doubt they'll look at when your account was created and see that you were underage at the time. If you start saying underage this, underage that... they will likely not accommodate you (as others have mentioned).
But up to you, either way you choose, they could still delete your account. But considering you never gambled there before, they will likely want you as a customer.

Or just sign up at another poker site? There are tons!

Me. Can you give me a good enough reason to do so? Its about the only medium size site I dont have an account on. Surely when I get to the point of winning dollars I would be better off depositing for some rakeback somewhere than the $8 free. If not I might as well go ahead and take the $ what do you think?

AFAIK you cant get RB at 888. Correct me if I am wrong.

Take the 8 (I don't know of rakeback on there either,.. might be a site or two to sign up thru to qualify for monthly freerolls or something.. not sure I'm not on there anymore.)
