Why is it hard to understand you can get similar or softer games on other sites (stars has tons of regs) and 10-20 times more rb then the nothing stars give you.

Why is it hard to understand Stars has the best security team and usually where you got good games and hi rakeback, you lose a lot because of lack of game integrity which you wont even see on your ev line (for example if opponents collude a lot or know how shitty RNG favors a situation or smart superusers etc )?

Yeah lol to that stars has tons of regs. Every other site out there has nowadays worse reg/rec ratio than stars. Let me explain this to you so you understand why people still play stars. Games run pretty much 24/7 except hs obv. Games are good because big part of the regs have moved other sites because they are pissed about the current rb system. Client is superior to other sites. Cashouts to ewallets are instant. If you need a hud your options are what ipoker? If you want to play zoom your option is partys bot heavy games and crap client. And the mtts sngs run allso 24/7.

If and when you make better hourly playing stars without the hustle to play multiple sites at the same time why would you move?

The chests start off as generous but eventually they hit you win a massive one and that's the end. For me it was 335,00 points to clear and i got $25 bonus at $10 in points. That's the time to stop playing as it equals like 2-4% in rakeback and they don't stop coming.

LOL my last chest contained 10 stars coin and a $2 Sit & Go Mega Path Ticket. Like really Stars? Even 2% rakeback isn't reliable anymore.

Welcome to our Live Chat. My name is Katya and I`ll be assisting you today.

12:22:54 PM - Ekaterina
Hi is my chest supposed to take 335,000 points to unlock?
Seems like a massive jump from my last chest
12:23:14 PM
Please, let me check, XXXXX.

12:25:20 PM - Ekaterina
ok ty
12:25:25 PM
Is there anything else I can assist you with, XXXXX?

12:28:58 PM - Ekaterina
Huh?
12:29:22 PM
xxxx, I am sorry. My bad.

I am still checking.

12:29:47 PM - Ekaterina
okok
12:29:50 PM
xxxxx, thank you for your patience and sorry for your waiting. The reward point requirements of your progress bar depend on the Chest type you are playing towards. They're also personalized based on your profile. Some of the factors which impact points requirements are stakes, game-type, the frequency of play and net deposits.

If you're earning one Chest or less within a rolling 28-day period, we'll make sure the points target for your progress bars remain achievable so you won't miss out on regular rewards.

Do you have other questions?

12:31:08 PM - Ekaterina
No I mean why is it 335,000 points now, what was the previous chest points total
I understand the system but am I think this new 335,000 points goal is a massive increase not a usual incremental one
12:33:12 PM
Unfortunately, the system can show only current amount of point, that is why I am not able to provide a information about your previous chest.

12:34:21 PM - Ekaterina
I mean I'm nearly sure I t was something like 25,000
and ten chests before that it was 10,000
and before that it was like 5,000
2x or 3x jumps
but now it's 15x jumps in points
12:36:07 PM
XXXX, I understood you but the system chooses automatically the amount of points you need to achieve. We can't influence on it.

12:38:05 PM -
Is there any way I can find out my previous chests points goal

12:38:38 PM
Unfortunately, there is no option for it.

12:39:25 PM
Weird
I mean the chest with this 335,000 points total is the exact same colour as the previous one too
So I have to grind out 300,000 more pints for the exact same reward? Is that correct?
*points

12:41:46 PM
As I told you, the number of reward points required to complete your progress bar can change at any time. The requirement is personalized to you, and it is affected by a number of factors including the games that you play, your results in those games and, the Chest that you are progressing towards.

Unfortunately, we can;t change it or influence on the system.

12:44:48 PM

OK but can you confirm it's 300,000 extra points now for the exact same chest?

12:45:41 PM
Your prize will be different also.

12:48:21 PM -
Why is the chest the same colour

12:48:36 PM
Because every level has own colour for every chest.

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

12:49:30 PM -
If colour represents level then why would the prize be different this time, none of this make sense or is very transparent

12:50:25 PM
In Stars Rewards, the bigger the Chest, the more valuable it is. Their rank, from low to high, is as follows:

Blue ? Bronze ? Silver ? Gold ? Diamond ? Black



While Chest contents are randomized, bigger Chests will give you better rewards on average.

12:51:18 PM -
I was on black already

12:51:43 PM
We provided all information to you about chest. All additional information you can find on our official site.Thank you for using our Live Chat.Have a nice day!
Is this normal or am I missing something?

So I need 65k points for the black chest. That's equal to 650 USD rake, is that correct? If so, rakeback seems about 5-10% or am I missing something?
*** Chest Rakeback At Pokerstars *** Quote
10-15-2019 , 06:46 AM
65k? So why do I need 335,000 points? How new is this new system? They bring out a new system every month it seems?

Why did I have to grind 35k points for last weeks black chest and 335,000 points for this new black chest? Then she claims it's a different prize but it's a same colour chest?

Everybody gets different chest requirements based on results, volume and etc. If you're playing regularly and have been winning, you will get the most difficult requirements to clear a chest. If you play infrequently and are losing, they will lower the requirements to give you more incentive to play.

Yeah but a 300,000 point increase is surely ridiculous.

I'm gonna guess you had nice upswing which is what happened to me when i got hit with the 335,000 x 2 chests. I since had horrendous downswing and spunked some cash at roulette and they put me back on 25k black chests + gave me "exclusive poker challenge" $4000 cash reward with 50000 redemption points needed ($10,000 rake ) in October.

My win rate is pretty much the same. My withdrawals have been more frequent I suppose. The only thing I can think of is other then that is I didn't bother trading my Stars coins in for anything. Why did the live chat say that the prizes would be different too when I pressed her? What's that about?

Obviously she didn't understand what you were talking about.

Is there a Stars rep on here anymore? Or do they even bother now.

Why? So they could tell you the same thing, and talk about how dynamic and personal their reward system is?

It's screwed, and I don't really understand why people care that much whether the rakeback is 2% or 4% or 6%. If you play at Stars, you shouldn't care for rakeback.

They have an algorithm that decides the points you need, and looks like no one can influence it.

Maybe, there's a Stars rep looking into and I will update with the result.

Yep agreed. If rakeback is a big thing for you, then you don't play at Stars. Regardless of what is going on now, their rakeback offering has never been competitive. They have too many other pros over other providers to need to entice players with a generous rakeback program.
