Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

+2 to Bob and pokerboy.

I feel as though Stars maybe put out the instant cash credits to sort of "compensate" non-UK players eventhough it's not even close.

I can understand Stars point of view, in the sense (as Bob stated above) that they are maybe trying to keep lower volume players around on the site since other Euro sites offer better rakeback/softer etc... but us high volume players are receiving the same to keep these low volume players around, with the exception of winning the worse players money as they try to achieve the bonus.

tl;dr......not fair and most of Stars best customers are getting the big shaft!!

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

This sucks.
I have to bend over backwards to get to SN, and now they are giving SN for free to an entire island.
Right now I feel like dropping out and play at FTP untill one of Stars promotions hits me as well.

I don't know Stars' reason for doing this, and MicroBob's reasoning might make some sense, but I expect that they're going to have a whole lot more bitter customers than they are happy ones as a result of this promotion.

Yeah, it is an interesting time to just hand SuperNova to an entire country considering there has been such clamor to make the VIP system competitive for non-Novas. Can't imagine this is going to go over anywhere close to well.

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

I have to say this promo makes me hate stars if I am not eligble. Love them if I am.

Hoping the fact im english living in australia still makes me eligble.

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

I think it is because many UK players (myself included) never made the jump from Party to Stars - simply because we didn't have to!

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

man i just emailed them and even though im english (living in australia) I am excluded.

This sucks so hard. I feel a marketing nightmare on 2+2 coming on for stars from the angry people excluded.

I don't get it, this exclusive promotion can only do more harm than good.
