As I have explained in this thread, of course members are given adequate warning as we WANT them to re-activate. We want to warn them, and put as much resources behind that as possible. The key, make sure we have correct information so you can be contacted.

Gareth, You have indeed explained that players with inactive accounts will be given adequate warnings before 888 begin the process of emptying their accounts of cash.
I have been in contact with 888 over the past week or so, and to date they have been unable or reluctant (I dont know which as they simply havent addressed my explicit question) to give me any information about when or how I was contacted prior to funds being taken from my account.
Does this surprise you?

Tbf - I think the added value they will add to the tour this season will more than make up for this.

That"s the one and only reason why I talked about having a decision to make rather than just not using the site at all. I haven"t played on Partypoker since I found out about their operation of this policy, but if I"m honest, greed is likely to win the day over principles and I will more than likely play the rest of the nationals. I won"t play cash or any other tournies on the site though.
Chipaccrual:
I"ve kept quiet on this subject, but I"m a little confused as to why anyone wouldn"t play on the site because of this policy ?
For those that it has impacted on in the past, I"m sure they are annoyed to have lost money, but as Gareth has pointed out, 888poker want players to play on their site.
There appears to be a few communication queries, that I would hope 888poker would address specifically to those players involved, but other than that, if you know you aren"t planning on playing on the site for a 6 month period, just withdraw your funds.
Maybe I look at this too simplistically, but apart from those that have issues because this policy has affected them, everyone else has been made aware of the policy through this thread, so should be able to take the appropriate action if necessary.

This^^^^
I actually really like the layout of the site, and the customer service seems v good. Think we should be looking to support the site as much as poss when they are throwing in UKIPT seats and other costs.
AMRN:
Agree with Marty and Leigh, and yes I agree it"s actually a pretty decent place to play online poker (and really soft)....
....however, I think Col still has a legitimate point, both from an overall perspective, and also from his personal experience and impact.
Bit daft for people to say they won"t play at 888 on grounds of principle - seems like cutting off noses to spite faces me thinks.
