Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

wow guess i'll welcome stars back into the fold. This offer is so sick all of my play will be at stars this month and possible the rest of the year as I can now make nova easily. LOL living in this country has more perks than just a poker tax heaven I guess. God save the queen

Ummm, what does this have to do with anything?

In a sports game, if the referee makes a bad call against the other team you never see team that benefited from the bad call complain about it. And nobody expects them to of course.

The same exact logic applies here.

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

any promotion that is likely to be good for the games is good for me, so i have no problem with this promotion at all even though i don't live in the uk.

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

SN used to be a reward after long and hard work.
SN is now an object you can win in a lottery.

As of today it is possible to work long and hard for X% monthly guaranteed rakeback at site Y
AND
wait for the lottery to hit you at Stars.

so byebye Stars.

Am I included?

If not I'm going to emigrate.

Isn`t this against European Union Law to exclude citizens of other EU countries?

Re: *Stars - UK May VIP Special Offer*

Yeah, seems to me they would be looking at making the bottom end of their VIP program more competitive than stuff like this to upset everyone not living in UK. Until they do, I will keep playing at other sites were I am not putting in high volume and getting 40%+ dealt effective rakeback.
