888 terms and conditions - Inactive accounts beware
Des:
Gareth is a senior member of the team at 888 and I think he has been clear in explaining why 888poker implement this policy, and he has answered several of your questions also. So, thanks for clarifying the situation Gareth.
It would appear to me that 888poker don"t particularly like this term, as we don"t. Relocating from Gibraltar is of course not a realistic outcome and this particular term was proabably not a consideration in locating there in the first place.
Now those of you stating that you"re not going to play on 888poker again, or will only play APAT games on 888poker, need to understand the reality of the way that APAT operates. Our partners; in this case 888poker, enable our schedule to operate. They pay for everything. The Cups & Medals, the venue, the registration fees, the UKIPT seats, the streaming, the hotels that the organisers stay in - basically if someone sticks out a hand on our journey, 888poker pay.
They do this because you all support them and not out of the goodness of their heart. Although they are good of course :) In fact the more you play with 888poker the larger and more fruitful our opportunities with them are. It"s very simple commerce. So I would appreciate if those of you who are considering restricting your support of 888poker would reconsider. The term in question is stated in their T & Cs, it was clearly explained above, and is potentially rarely used.
Thanks,
Des.

Top post Des - did you ever think about a career in politics?
I would certainly not stop playing at 888 - as a poker player, that would be -EV and not in the best interest of my bankroll ;)
I think it"s reasonable to voice the concern though over what is clearly a controversial term, and I appreciate and understand Gareth"s responses.
Swinebag:
Thanks to Gareth for taking the time to respond.
I do take issue with his comment about players receiving an email to warn them about their imminent deduction. I don"t remember receiving this and when I spoke to support they never mentioned that they sent me an email despite me suggesting that it would have been good practice to do so.
However, they have given me $30. I like the software and the tourneys on this site, so will certainly carry on playing on the site, APAT sponsorship or not.
One question still nags away at me though. And it has yet to be answered by support or anyone else at 888. Maybe Gareth can help?
If you take 10% each month, how come my account is (or was) on $0? it is impossible for this to happen. I asked last week for a statement to be sent with the relevant deductions on. A week later, I"m still waiting.

You are assuming that the 10% of the account balance in play each month...perhaps they work out the initial balance, divide that by 10 and deduct that amount every month for 10 months.
Simpler admin....note initial amount, divide by 10, set up payment schedule, hit "Run".

good post gareth and good follow up mr duffy, probably enough to make me approach with an open mind...in reality it"s never likely to cost me more than a few hundred quid but i think all the sites i"ve stopped playing are usually down to near zero anyway.
A suggestion might be that the sites could in fact just return the money to our cards/deposit method 10% at a time...(bet you get a response to random payments appearing in our accounts :) ) assuming the card registered with the site is still active of course which there might be a good chance of within 6 months.
Quick question for gareth, you mentioned a download free client...does this mean i can use my iphone ? (i guess through safari?)
