Hi Folks!

I love 888poker. But there is a very bad bug in the software.
When I try to connect to a table from the waiting list, there is a chance that happens.
I click the Seat me now button. The table appears.
I click on the green sit down button and software show an error message:
"Sorry, this seat is reserved for another member. Please try another seat or table."

But why? I have just got a seat! And this happens quite often. Finally I manage to get a seat in a very good table... and moments later I lose this chance. I asked a few of my friends, who all play the same place. And they also experienced the same thing.

If you have this bug, you should report this too!

It happens to me too and I believe it is a bug when you get notification to be seated but actually it is not yet your turn and there is a player on waiting list that is to be seated first. I know this because sometimes when this happens and I do nothing about it like trying to get me on wait list again later I manage to sit at the table when seat gets empty.

Dear XXX,

My name is Laura I am a Senior Rep at 888poker. I am contacting you in regards to your recent issues with our waiting lists whilst trying to join some of our tables.

It has come to our attention that when you contacted us regarding this matter you were given some incorrect advice of uninstalling and reinstalling the 888poker software in order to fix the issue. Unfortunately Istvan this is not a solution and will not fix the problem.

The problem with the waiting list error is something that we are aware of. It was brought to the attention of our technical department and developers who are looking into the matter. They are trying to find a resolution to this but unfortunately at the moment there is very little that we can advise you.

I appreciate that this is not ideal and it can be frustrating for this to happen especially if there is a particular table you wish to join. As I said above, at the moment there are no immediate solutions that we can offer you, we ask for your patience and understanding in this matter until our technical department can implement a fix.

Please accept our apologies not only for this technical error, but also for the confusion and incorrect information that you were given.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you require assistance with this or any other matter.

Kind regards,
Laura C.
Member Support Representative

Thank you for the update here GrimTheCat :)

Hopefully 888 can get this sorted very soon.

Kind regards,

Not likely they will sort it soon as it has been an issue for over a year now. Likewise with a number of other issues that have been raised on PS forums, on 888 forums and with their support. They take a long time to reply, assure you they are doing something, that sorting the issue is a priority for them, and yet the same issues are still present over a year later.

I play primarily on 888, mostly cash but some tourneys, and I enjoy playing there but issues like this are very irritating.
