PokerStars New Supernova-Inspired Program: Generate $100K Rake, Get 60% Rakeback

I don't know about rest of world, but UK it's tough to get money onto sites to play these stakes. Also you have sites offering 40% and better, without this "but you need to fulfil this requirement to get any of it" malarkey.

You are right, but I don't know.... If traffic on 200NL/500NL does not increase in the next 2-3 weeks we can safely assume that they failed.

I'm not against the new rewards system, I just think they should have done something better for lower stakes. They say they can't because of "operational costs", but i think thats a lie.

Has it started or not? Should I be seeing anything different?

Once you complete the chest the new rewards system will be active (You will need to grind more to complete the new chest)

Edit: Now I see they suck so much that they can't even update their system to the new rb, thought it was already on

It was suppooused to be live now but they focked it up. Several months of trial running were not enough it seems.

Such an embarrassment to bang on about a change that actually only benefits a small % of players and then not even be able to launch that correctly.

Absolute shambles.

Cut RB from Microplayers so Zoom500 can run again. Genius idea Stars.

Make sure to check the small print. Their last rewards program included the caveat:

"We reserve the right to hold on to millions of dollars owed to players. Even if some individuals are owed literally tens of thousands, we may keep it and instead get Daniel Negreanu to excitedly announce a freeroll. Daniel reserves the right to appear to be disgusted by our behaviour and to pretend to threaten to quit."

Yeah PokerStars is finished.

You can tell the people who are running it, aren't online poker players themselves.

ahhh yes. Straight to the point. My kind of man.

Will the $800 I've raked today go towards any of this?

if you are already select it should be daily payout

It blows my mind how bad the software is for Pokerstars rewards chests.

They have had them for several years now and it still takes me closing and opening the window multiple times to actually be able to open the chest and get the reward.

Back when they had bronze/silver/gold reward levels I don't recall ever having an issue getting RB.

I vaguely remember PS hosting a free $1m tournament every month for gold level and above, that was such a good bonus!

I'm guessing the software developers may be tied up in regulatory work, which leads to having no capacity to do basic updates to the UI.

Its all part of their master plan to drive all the regs away so the games become softer

A few years ago, they upgraded their software to Aurora and it was more of a massive downgrade.

I have to close the software and reboot it to access the cashier a lot of the time.

If I play a heads up sit and go, sometimes it takes 30 seconds to load it and it sits me out lol.

GGPoker is another league, when it comes to their software.

A donkey would never play on PokerStars now, if they were aware of GGPoker.

Its now the 23rd and the Deal still remains (still going up daily) and nothing appears to have changed in My Rewards.

Are they just slow to roll it out?

GG is popping. Also a sheetton of reg games going. This might have backfired a bit for stars tbh. Cutting the rb from the smaller stakes and NL500 ain't even running atm.

They had a server update earlier, hence slow traffic.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but tomorrow's traffic may be a better indication.

242 runners for 100nl is incredible for GG though. The joys of having an entire world pool.

Yup deposited like 1k on there other month. Disconnected multiple times while gg ect was fine. Decided to withdraw from there as its annoying as ****

Play real money games to earn Reward Points. Progress through the levels and unlock Chests. Find out more
As of January 22nd 2024, only Poker play contributes to your Reward Points. Casino and Sports play will no longer contribute to them.

They have removed rewards for casino and sports betting as well.

Sick to death of talking about rake, but they increased the rake on the hyper heads up sit and gos as well.

They were 2 percent rake and are now 5 percent rake. The ROI in those games was 4 percent if you were excellent, so just another unbeatable, breakeven game now on Jokerstars, with the rake increase.

Regular 6 max 2.50/5 games now dead as well at 6 pm prime time in Ireland.

Good Game PokerStars.

You are correct. 500 is running atm so maybe they generate enough rake to cut the losses from the lower stakes.

thats less traffic then peak Poker Stars Ontario btw. population 14.5 million. 1 of 4 sites
