I am curious when a promotion becomes enticement to gamble?
You had a huge promo on your $5blast game over xmas with the top prize rising from 50k to 1 million.How much more money did this make your site? How are you allowed to say this yet not pay out the top prize? Why not make it 10 million next time if you dont intend paying it out? I have sent a report to the gaming commission on your site.You are a disgrace to gaming at 888! Personally i would not recommend joining this site people.

The t.c of the promotion did advise the period it would be running – until 02/01/2017 – and it was not guaranteed.
During the promotion period, it is correct the big game did not play.

In the poker Blast lobby you will also see a history of previous big wins on the blast:

Incidentally, where are the BLAST games.
I would have liked to take part, but BLAST wasn't anywhere in my lobby then and still isn't.

There should be a Blast and Snap tab in the poker lobby and if you have not got this you are not using the latest version.
deceitful and misleading i think are the terms required.You at 888 obviously control the odds of the large value games being won so therefore you knew from the start you was never going to pay it out!
Dear 888Rep, is the next run of the $1M Blast going to be webcam tables again?
I wonder how much the popularity of the $5 Blast games dropped when they were webcam. I think that was a poor idea. Not all casual players are ready to turn a cam on while playing - e.g. they might be sitting in a room with other people who don't want to be shown.

You can block the screen so no one can see you if it's not convenient.
