This sort of promo is excellent. Yes I will benefit this time which makes me very happy but we want Stars to run promos that encourages lots of newish players and this is an awesome way to do it.

I hope they coordinate it with lots of advertising.

and the sun is shining

lol at people threatening to cash out.

Just saw the offer and rushed to this thread

Yay

I am going to double my VPP earn for the year in May. I feel a little guilty that those who revere the exalted status of Supernova think it's being cheapened but not quite enough to not do this. Sorry.

OMG FU Pokerstars, I insta clear my bonus and leave this room.

It's a shame

Hope your marketing director will be fired

I think that's why so many players are upset.

This promotion is awesome but a lot of us don't get the opportunity to participate.

Scotty, I have to say I'm disappointed in Stars for this promotion. This is a HUGE offer that excludes a large portion of your loyal player base. It's one thing to offer a select group a bonus but this goes over the top and is going to piss alot of people off unless Stars offers some similar reward for non-UK players.

We all benefit greatly from an influx of newish players.

Fairness doesn't require everyone getting the same goodies at the same time. It may be better for all us if its offered to different countries at different times rather than have one huge blowout.

This is so horrible. I've been grinding my ass off to try to get sn and they just give it away to a select group of players. I've got an idle ft account, but I've always been loyal to stars. I don't know why I should be loyal any more. They are just thumbing their noses at loyal customers.

Yeah well I'm not too sure this kind of promotion would bring new players. Poker newbies dont really care for rakeback or even VPPs, I guess it'll bring more regish players than newbies.

Instead I'd enjoy if stars created a new 200% 1000$ first deposit bonus. THAT would bring some tasty fishes (who never would be able to clear the bonus before going broke. Win-win situation for Stars and regs )

What do you mean a test? You are basically giving sn status to a select group and leaving out a huge base of loyal customers who have contributed huge sums of rake to achieve this. BS.

It's not like they've taken anything away from you guys.
I hate to hear of 2+2ers leaving stars obv
No more time to debate, gotta clear those 1200 VPP

Seriously, folks. Flood PS with emails on this. This is a slap in the face to loyal customers.

I'm sure that's not true in the UK where there is massive choice and not just big sites like Party.

There are huge numbers of players, many not very good, who don't play at stars and will easily understand that this is a mega good deal. Once they hit SN they may stay a long time.

this promo is a good thing for non us players aswell, stars is basically unknown in the UK to the average fish. Up your game in advertising too that boris becker ad is terrible.

Right.

Aren't there some newish players in other countries too that we're missing out on by limiting the promotion to just the UK?
