My account was suspended while a was playing a 5$ tournament with more than 350 players, we were 18 left and i was 4th.

Hi Slimgzgz,

Welcome to pokerstrategy,

I moved your thread to 888 board so the 888 rep can take a look and answer you.

In general all poker rooms sooner or later will ask users to verify their account, sounds little bit strange it happened this time during a tournament, we cant help you more then this as verification processes is something the poker rooms security teams do and we dont have access to their investigations.

Regards/ Rompas

Hey slimgzgz, I would appreciate if you could send me an honest review of the site. I am getting ready to make a deposit and my concern is that when you want to take money out that the problems really start.I see the folks at pokerstrategy are trying to help (but they are limited in what they can do) but in looking in to various sites it seems similar problems are rampant. Truth be told I want to find a few real players to give me something positive about any site so I can make a choice with a little bit of confidence. Hope my asking is not a problem, and "Thanks" for any input you can offer..

I have been playing on 888 and with no problems. You will see this kind of posts from every poker room. It feels like there are a lot of complaints but in reality people who are experiencing this kind of problems are a very small minority. Those who are happy will not be posting it on forums.
A good way to avoid problems is to verify your account (send them your ID and other documents) before you deposit.
