There are 3 additional promotions in July for all 888.com Pacific Poker players. More information on these promotions will be announced via news:
1. $5,000 PokerStrategy.com Freeroll - on the 12th of July:
In order to participate, you simply need an 888.com Pacific Poker account created through PokerStrategy.com on which you a) self deposited at some point or b) collected a total of at least 500 Reward points between the 22nd of June and 6th of July. Then you will be able to play in the PokerStrategy.com Freeroll for a total of $5,000, which will take place on the 12th of July at 18:00 GMT (20:00 CET).
2. $5,000 PokerStrategy.com Rake Race - from the 22nd of June until the 6th of July:

3. Double StrategyPoints - between the 26th - 28th of June & 3rd - 5th July:
Additionally to the Rake Race and the freeroll qualification there will be two further PokerStrategy.com promotions from the 26th-28th of June & 3rd-5th of July: playing on 888.com Pacific Poker on these days will be rewarded with twice the usual amount of StrategyPoints - so 8 SPs per $1 Rake instead of 4 SPs!
Pacific Poker has never had a problem with attracting bad players to the tables. Yet multitablers have never really felt great there due to software issues. 888.com has recognized this problem and will soon start working on a new poker software.
Since this offer will also attract its share of high volume players - wishing to test Pacific Poker, the poker room is hoping for as much feedback as possible from you: what needs to be improved and what features are missing?
Give us your feedback & suggestions for the Pacific Poker Software

Hmmm 888.com shows a first deposit bonus of 100% to $400, the PS.com review shows a 125% to $475 bonus. Is the 100% to $300 in the article an error?#7
Waiboy, 09 Jun 09 22:45
Sorry, the bonus in the article is 75% to $300. :/#8

Well promotions team said they cant track my account to pokerstrategy. Apperently I downloaded it from a different link. (wierd)#50
connect1337, 17 Jun 09 12:53
I guess it has something to do with clearing your cookies... It told me to clear my cookies so I cleared my cookies.. Then it automatically logged out which ofcourse I didn't see since the page didn't refresh... I hope that doesn't affect receving the capital... though I'm not sure since #46 and #47 had some problems..#51
connect1337, 19 Jun 09 07:46
Edit:Got the capital, so #46 and #47 you have some other problem i guess :x#52
halozejn, 20 Jun 09 22:00
