TY.

Wow, I can't believe Stars hasn't changed their location yet, or at least cross referenced it. I play more SNGs than anyone on Stars and I didn't even know they existed.

I feel sorry for you if you're serious.

I used to play on 5 different sites. Each of those sites had problems of some sort that I was uncomfortable with, so now I play at one site. I play at stars because they offer the best support, have the highest traffic, regulate the games well and offer a fair rakeback deal.

you guys keep implying I play at stars cause I'm an idiot. I play there because I tried the other sites and had less problems, less cashout delays and less scandels at stars.

so, if you think there is some other site out there that I don't know about that is a much better deal, is as well run and has good numbers of games running, enlighten me.

otherwise quit acting like we are kissasses because we looked at everything and decided stars was the best place to play right now.

I have no desire to bitch about some promo, because the promo's have nothing to do with the reasons I play at stars.

so, how am I being unobjective?

People imply that you are an idiot because of what you say, not where you play. Stars is the best play to play and I don't think any one in this thread has said otherwise.

i really thought getting paper checks was gonna be a pain in the butt, but apparently the transition of getting epassporte to checks was quite painless. usually checks arrived in the mail in roughly 3 business day (amazing), and being from southern california, all my payouts came from local banks (amazing again) and cleared my account next day. not sure why any of you guys have issues, but i hope this relieves some of you that are skeptical about cashing out. cashouts were for over 2000 each time btw if that matters.

uh, is that a collective "you" or have I been making an idiot of myself again?

[Legend27]

I don't know, did the people you refered to call you an idiot again for saying dumb things?

Have to do at least one automated payment, 10 debit card purchases and receive electronic statement. And my debit card works on Stars and Tilt, at least so far.

Its just a bank that operates in parts of NC but I have seen similar type accounts at other banks also.

Hmm, I'm from NC as well. What bank is this?

You guys do also realize that cashing out to MoneyGram is an option now to right? It just needs to be cashouts that are $500+, and MoneyGrams are as good as cash, which means no waiting for anything to clear. From my experience, most cashouts are processed same day as well.

When I was approaching my 200k vpp for the year stars automatically activated my 2k milestone bonus. Today I surpassed 300k vpp and don't have any bonuses in my cashier. Is it required to email stars to get each milestone after the initial one?

[lacky]

I probably email about half the time. just email them and it will be done in pretty quick. I think it's vip@pokerstars.com, but I'm not at my work computer, so I could be wrong.

We're working on automation, as of today William pulls a list 5x a week and adds when needed. With double VPPs a lot people hit milestones. As of today, they may be added 5k early to cut down on the emails.

I wish I had kept keeping track, but unfortunately I didn't. I'm kind of curious myself how much money has been put back into the tournaments.

FWIW I also stopped a day and a half before the first big overlay, so I definitely didn't stop because the promotion got good.

Even if they dont put it in early, or on time, every time the bonus has been added to my account, the VPP progress was altered so that no VPPs were missed (example: I end the day at 302500 points, the 3k bonus has 2500 points cleared already once it shows up.)

I've never had to email about a milestone

PM'ed you.

Since they battle of the planets promotion for this month is 2x why isn't the supernova freeroll prize pool 2x also? Would be nice to have it be 100k for today.
