PokerStars confirms new rewards program: Chests

My latest bonus went from 700pts for $56 to 800pts for $16. I will not be pursuing it. Maybe I'll just have to wait until bonus system gets re-vamped later this month.

Let all the idiots and Dnegs cucks get cheated and treated like trash at GG poker. Makes me laugh. I know I have sick sense of humor wife has been telling me that for 15 years.

Looking forward to the new rewards program. Hopefully that and GG latest scandal once it gains traction and becomes more know to the majority(hopefully it will) maybe we can get some players back to Pokerstars. It's honestly or should be one of the most trusted(least scummiest with few scandals) sites to play at. I've been around 20 some years I will no longer play anywhere else. When or if I can't play PS I guess I'll be making more trips to the Casino an hour away.

Cheers!!!

DNEGS is the one and only GOAT of poker. Have you ever seen his soul reads on live MTTs? O my god he is so good

Soul reads? You mean the nit at the table raises me so I correctly assume he has a set and talk about it outloud. Litteraly 100% dnegs reads comes after an opponent action that plays like an open book. He’s reading the situation at hand with a gross player profile based on history.

Dnegs cucks and their ****** gg followers seems like an accurate soul read.

By the way, I met dnegs here, he was an ass. Looks like that when there’s no cameras and millions at play, he’s a careless selfish *******.

You see the greatness of a man on how he treats someone he needs nothing from. Dnegs is not a great person. And watch out, because one day it might be you whom he needs nothing from.

This applies to girls as well. They were girls treating me amazingly well and sweet, but was treating other people with apathy. Guess what happened next. Yep. Two face snakes. That’s how she’s gonna treat you when she doesn’t need you no more.

Yeah I'm not cuck of any player. But that's one opinion I guess but it really depends on the measuring stick one uses.

Shame he says such stupid and moronic things but then a lot high stakes players takes are a clown circus of bs frozen cold takes.

And as a Canadian who meant him in person for a Canadian he's freakin tool and so much of a jackass it isn't funny.

Cheers!!!

Does anyone here have an issue where you can't open a stars chest and have to close the stars software almost every single time and then log in stars again in order to open?

Yep, every time. But at least closing the client, logging back in and then immediately opening the chests through the rewards tab usually works.

I haven't had to do this in a long time but as a final resort you can get on chat and a support member will open them for you.

Quite often I am not able to open the chests. What I have to do quite often is log into the Pokerstars Sports website and open them there. Ya it is quite annoying.

For me I just try again a few times and usually works within 5 tries.

I tend to have to log into the website aye. Pretty shitty experience.

Yes this is the exact same for me. Very rarely open first time, usually takes four or five goes to open. Feels like it's getting worse as well.

Try to open leaderboards before you open a chest.Thats was an advice from stars support some months ago because i had same issues with my challenge window and it worked.

Open the chest on mobile and/or via rewards menu

Operator brings back tiers closely resembling Supernova and Supernova Elite programs, with up to 60% rakeback offer that “doesn’t penalize winners​.”

Sounds good, if only my stupid country allowed Stars instead of thieving and cheating GG

Good general change in that it is flat rakeback but the points requirement per chest is absurdly high - especially as you still only get the rolling 28 days to complete. Shame, I was hoping to move all volume back to Stars !

Is there any info or rumors about increasing 4 table cap ?

Confirmed to remain at 4

It will never be like the old supernova elite days if they continue to cap the number of tables you can have open to such a small amount.

It's one giant cash grab on micro and low stakes cash grinders. you now get less RB than before even if you were capped at the 10% weekly challenge, even silver tier with the 17.5% chest and 10% challenge was more RB. One big joke - of course its better for mid and high stakes players but that traffic is miniscule compared to micros and low stakes.

Yeah for 50/100z+ you can probably benefit (if you didn't get 40% challenges regularly) off the black chest 40% flat. But below that they've essentially removed the weekly/monthly challenges and increased the requirements meaning low volume players more likely to receive a lower tier chest.

To complete a black chest on 25z I reckon it's about 160k hands/mo and just under half that for the diamond (30% flat)

Honestly boggles the mind that stars are in a prime position to prize some market share back after bottling & superuser scandals and decide to deceive. 500z will likely start running and they're counting on the trickle down effect to boost the lower limits (+ there's probably way less volatility in traffic in the lower limits)

that would make it very difficult for normal cash game players to get to a high vip level, for zoom players it should be doable

I get that stars wants to remain a table cap, it also makes the reg:fish ratio a lot more attractive, but a table cap of 6 would seem more appropriate imo
