The 888poker situation
Why no one talks about what is going on with 888poker? They steal from customers, I really don't know how these guys s
not sure if it's legal but it's true, I think it was almost 2 yrs ago a friend of mine had sent 6k on 888, few months later I didn't really remember I had had any transfer but tried to cash out and they said I wasn't allowed to cash out, that I needed to play because that money had been transfered, I had to generate a certain amount of rake, so yeah I had to grind and then cash it out
I thought it was completely ridiculous, cashed out everything and prob never playing there again
once I had cleared the stupid rake they wanted me to clear the withdrawal was processed without any issues at the very least
Sounds similar to what Cake Poker was doing, right before they went under.

What is really shady is that the transfered money gets converted into a bonus that u can only touch if u dont have any other real money in ur account.
That u had to play and generate rake before u were able to cashout a p2p is standard on almost any site nowadays. A friend recently sent me 1k on stars and this money is not available for me to cashout, i can see it in the cashier. The want me to play games worth of 1k with it.
Show me one site in 2024 that will let u withdraw 6k from a p2p without generating a certain amount of rake first.
I mean I dunno I had already paid well above 6 figures in rake on their site prior, didn't think this would be an issue
Isn’t that just anti money laundering measures? Obviously shouldn’t go as bonus funds but allowing a p2p and then allowing receiving player to withdraw instantly would be easy laundering for the criminally inclined.

It does not matter how much u raked before receiving the transfer and im not sure why u think it does.
Yes it has to do with money laundering laws.
There are exception with very small amounts on stars where they did not ask for a rollover and i was able to cashout.
how does it prevent money laundering exactly?
Because peope will think twice if they want to use that option only to transfer money.
If i can send 6k to u and u can cash it out without playing, those 6k look like winnings from the site. So everyone who wants to move around illegal money could just find a way to deposit on a pokersite and then send it to someone.
Sites are not banks and they want their cut from the transfer (=rake).
This is what happened to me on full tilt poker .
I only play homes games now !
Deleted-post bug showing up again.
I am experiencing exactly what is mentioned in the first post.
Has anyone contacted a lawyer to take action ? There is no choice but to unite
Contact me privately to discuss about this
I think I agree that 888poker is a scam company. On February 5th, I received an email saying my account was permanently closed. There was no reason given, and no one responded to my messages. I have approximately $1, 200 left in my account. I can understand the room's reluctance to see a winning player, but appropriating someone else's money is beyond me. I have never violated the room's terms and conditions. I understand there's not much hope, but maybe some room representative will see this and want to look into the situation. I think it's best to voice my situation.. My nickname in the room is DineroPFvor
