It's confusing even to Supernovas, one of whom was sitting out at my table for at least the first 15 minutes of Phase 2 (apparently forgot to change it to another phase)

Funnily enough, someone has qualified for Phase 3 with 1 chip (and a chair)

I didn't realise that the start of Phase 3 is actually the bubble stage already

The advantage of this structure is that the tourney is going to end as early as around the European midnight (the total number of chips in play is going to be ~60K*5K = 300M and the blinds grow to 8M/16M at the end of the fifth hour of play).

Made it to phase 3! So excited

Nice one PocketDucks!

Yeah I tried to just look at it as a normal tournament with extra long breaks! haha. So I looked at it as phase 1 was the late registration stage, phase 2 as the stage where registration is closed and you're playing into the bubble/money and then phase 3 is when you're in the money. It's pretty much just like a 3 day live tournament!

A free $27 ticket for a $50 deposit is obviously awesome.

Hope I get it to phase 3. GL you all.

$191,219.95 overlay in tcoop 01

+$90 for me in TCOOP-01 (from the free ticket).

+$300 for me, AK<A4. Unfortunately i took insurance with friends so i have to give $90 of that away, still get to keep $210 so not bad for $0 investment

Congrats!

Thanks, you too!

Anybody else having trouble getting the MEGA2016 bonus code to work? When I tried to deposit it's telling me it's either invalid or I haven't deposited enough to meet promotion. The amount is >$30 so not sure what's up

+105$ for me = + 40% roll lol
I won 1.1$ sat to tcoop1 and luckily i cashed.

It was ONLY promo tickets for tcoop event 1 that started in 17:00 EET = 10:00AM ET at 21 January.

The MEGA2016 bonus should still be valid. Most likely reason is that you've made a cashout very recently (or transfer to full tilt) in which case you are now ineligible for the bonus.

Pokerstars is going downhill really fast . It feels like a bingo site when I log-in these days and I'm just tired of all the "promotions" without any value. Yeah, right someone will win the car, just need to get lucky , that's why I play in the lottery .

I like the cashgame quest, good job stars. Megabonus promo was nice also. Keep it up!

Just logged in to see the new VIP Step challenge beginning Feb 1st until Feb 14th.

The page detailing the prizes won't load for me though haha.

Seems you can only win StarsCoin and chances vary depending on VIP level.

Interesting.

Looks like this will be Starscoin promotion.

Btw, where did you see that info/promo?

Edit: Nvm found the promo:

Why only 14 min late reg for vip club tournament?

I'm so glad that I've decided to stop at 100 VPPs this month

the promo between 15-29 fev is only for silver+ ??? prizes table say silver challenge, gold challenge. i dont understand

Noooo!!!! Please kill those Allin Shootout damn bingos! I guess this promo will be -EV for me.

With the current cash challenges I havent seen anything above 2.5

I just noticed that the 8 games HU SNG on stars start at 30/60 with a set amount of hands for each level. This is great. Can you please change the other limits hu sngs (at least the turbos) to start at 30/60 as well ? I played many 2-7 TD and stud 8 hu sng and the first two levels are basically useless. At the very least please remove the first level.
I mean just imagine, the 8 game starts with 2-7 TD at 30/60 and the 2-7 TD sng start at 10-20. It takes 10 minutes to get to 30/60 in the turbo.

Also speaking of the 8 games HU SNG, you should randomize which game is the first game played. Because right now these are not really 8 games but more like 2-7 TD, limit holdem and O8.

I have only 1300 VPPs so far this month but am gonna grind out a further 1200 VPPs in the next 3 days so I can be at goldstar when starting the challenges! Will have to play 6-7k hands a day at 25nlz fr! Hope I don't die lol

The second part of the promotion is for any vip status. The "silver" and "gold" parts do not have any relation to silverstar or goldstar status.

So if I'm Supernova, I can get a kick start for this promo by earning something like 8990 points in January. Then in February I can complete the first step within minutes.
On the other hand a PlatinumStar can't do this because his points are reset to zero.
Is this correct?

looks like there will be a few last minute grinders trying to get to the next status! haha. I've got 93 VPP's to go, hopefully a nice casual weekend grind!

Exactly what happened to me -- I said FU to PS after this "promotion" said FU to me! I got the same .50 ticket + .50 ticket, and I gave up. FFS Instadebit charges me like $1 so this promo actually COST me money!

And both Spins were sick runbad when HU as the CL. Of course. #Murphy
