There's such a huge gap between Silver and Gold levels it's ridiculous, and the Silver level is a joke, there's almost none advantage when you compare Bronze to Silve.
Why just not add a level between Silver and Gold like 200 or 300 points required, and add some little cash rewards for that level accordingly (50$ cash reward is 1000 points, you could make a 20$ cash reward for 500 points available also to players who can't rake 375$ a month).
And even if nothing changes in VIP scheme, I still think cash game players shouldn't be forced to use their points in tournament tickets for tournaments they don't wanna play.
Btw, is that possible to use the tournament tickets bought in store in Sit&Go Hero format ?
+100000 to all of this.
Just by chance noticed I had 626 points so took a look in the points store for first time ever this morning. Was disappointed to see you literally can't get ANY cash bonus if your level is < gold.
I'm just a rec really but I've been playing an average of slightly over 1k hands at 10nl every day this month for summer of grind and I'm not even half way to Gold...
I'm not saying people who play more/higher stakes shouldn't get a better rate, that's fine but it really sucks that someone like myself can't ever get a cash bonus if they play less than 70k hands a month.
A level in between gold and silver for like 3-400 points a month would suit a lot of people like myself who aren't pros and just play an hour or two a day I'd suspect.
Could even offer something like $20 for 500 points or similar which is still giving gold and above a better rate for points --> cash even at the current lowest level ($50 for 1k points)
Edit: I somehow missed that the original post I quoted suggested $20 for 500 points as well lol. Anyway agreed on all points. Current system is seriously flawed for low stakes players who still play regularly.
