i don"t see that much of a problem with it. if you use a service often then you should get rewarded for it. if you don"t then you have to pay for the privilage.

What reward and privilege are you referring to? Reward of not having your money stolen? Privilege of 888 allowing you to give them your money, playing on their site and generating rake for them?

If you use their service you pay them for it - and if you don"t use their service, you pay them for it.
Rather than depositing, withdrawing, depositing ...... as and when you need to play - I tend to just play on sites which provide a better service.

What service? They don"t provide a service - they provide a platform on which their customers can pay them rake ffs! If a customer chooses not to play for a while, they take the customer"s money anyway! To top it all, not mentioned yet on this thread... when you have money deposited on a site, do you think they keep it in a cash box under the bed?? clearly not - it will be sat with everyone else"s funds in a high interest business account earning oodles of interest.
So, to this admin fee for keeping the account in place when no play occurs - if they are to justify the taking of a fee, they should consider paying out interest on the moneys held!
Admin fee - what rot. Daylight feckin robbery is what it is!

Rights and wrongs of this practice aside... what baffles me is why anyone would leave money* in a site that they haven"t used for >6 months?
*Other than an ammount too small to allow you to buy-in to the smallest micro-stakes game available. :-\

When we moved APAT from Blue Square to Betfair, I inadvertently left just over $200 in BSQ.... around a year later I received an email reminding me it was there and that I hadn"t played in a while, and an offer of a bonus if I returned and played.
So - BSQ try and get people back playing on their site, and actively incentivise them to do so.... but 888 just take your money away as a penalty for not playing. Spot the difference.
