Expect the Unexpected at 888poker

[lovemiscou]

When there is a bigger special prize (i.e. $50 Bonus, Poker Kit, Camera or Tickets to big tourneys); a pop-up will show up during the tournament.

So far I finished 3 times in the top 50. I got a $50 bonus, an 888 Live Poker Kit and 6 tickets to the $3000 freerolls.

Each time I received an email to confirm my prize. So you should receive an email soon to tell you what you won.

Thanks for the info Gorak, will be checking my inbox closely.

Checked my inbox and found out i won 10 dollars for being in top 50.
The best thing is that it's in my account, no need to play for it.

Go and check your bonus status. I think you will find a surprise there… :deal:

I hate 888, I do not even know why . I visited him 1 time last month.

 

[Gorak]

I made another top 50 out of 18,000. I don't know what the surprise will be this time.

I'll have to wait for the email.

 

[Gorak]

I'll have to wait for the email.

And the prize is: A $160 ticket to the $15,000 Crocodile. Wow!

I never played that one before; the structure is slow and the late reg 150 minutes.

It seems to play everyday at 12:30 ET but I'm not sure.

Anyway I might give it a shot today as my MTT schedule is packed for tomorrow and the weekend.

GL me!

I told ya.

As for the tourney, I was on the money bubble and I shoved 99; I got called by Big Stack on the BB with AK. Fail!

Well I ran good up until that hand, and this was a free shot. So be it.

By the way I won 14 cents in the Stars Privilege Freeroll so I can't complain. Sigh!

 

[lovemiscou]

Sorry about you being bubble boy, better luck next time!

 

[Gorak]

Sorry about you being bubble boy, better luck next time!

That last hand cost me $313 and the potential for more.

It still hurts but what can I do?

Hi Gorak, you seem to play a lot on 888. Do you know where i can find out how many points i have done so far to release my 10 dollars?

Hi Gorak, you seem to play a lot on 888. Do you know where i can find out how many points i have done so far to release my 10 dollars?

The bonus you have usually clears at the rate of 3.5 points for every $1. So in your case you will need 35 points to clear your $10.

There is no simple way to view your progress with a Hot Bonus.

But here are some ways you can know:

1) You can email/chat/phone support to tell you.

2) If you know how many points you had when you received the bonus then you can make a calculation based on how many points you have now.

You can see your points by clicking on your VIP status or using the Lobby menu "My Profile" then "My rewards Status".

By the way; when you look at your Hot Bonus, you will see the part that is restricted (i.e. that you can't withdraw). If you make money, it will be added in the restricted part until you have completely cleared the bonus. Or if you lose money; then it will be deducted from the restricted part also.

I hope this helped.

The fastest way to gain points would be the hyper double or nothing.

Yes; it was a good promo. I got 4 tickets left so I think I can play the rest of it.

I hope the next one is as good as this one.

It will probably be about the Super XL and/or the Winter/Christmas promo.
