Petition for PokerStars to Implement the Anti-Ratholing Measures They Promised - Internet Poker

The ratholing issue, alongside accompanying debates about buy-in ranges, has persisted for years. Multiple different sets of buy-in range changes have not permanently solved the problem.

I'm going to avoid re-opening the debate about whether we have the right goal here. We've committed to taking action against frequent ratholing. The challenge now is to determine how to implement it. More on this later.

So far, there's no progress to be seen. Instead, PokerStars have begun turning their high stakes games into Zoom-only, which has provided the players with an option to rathole endlessly, with no timers limiting them. While this has admittedly solved other issues such as seating scripts, 100bb poker is becoming the exception rather than the norm without the promised changes to prevent blatant ratholing.

Sign this petition to express your outrage at the delay and demand Stars implement anti-ratholing measures immediately.

Everyone should start with 40 big blinds, and when its at 80 big blinds, the size wont increase anymore. Autofill should be to 40 big blinds. There can be separate tables or not where one can have the option of 80x the big blind. If u wonder, these are theoretically the best for the best gaming action and variety.
