Again down 4+ hours. Another DDOS?

Yep, it was another DDoS attack. As known from other examples, such as Mastercard or PayPal, DDoS attacks are not easy to stop nor to prevent, even for bigger companies.

The 'good' side about a DDoS attack is that while the site might be unavailable for some time, customer data is never at risk.

It's the biggest community we ever had - thanks to the co-operation with Poker Heaven and the Poker Channel.

42 players who win a package will go to London near the end of the year, meet some of our famous coaches and battle it out: who is going to be our World Champion?

Qualifications will run over the following months and there's a good way for everyone to try their luck:

• 90x $100 daily freerolls - monthly final for the winners - 3x packages for the monthly final winners
• $10,000 depositors freeroll on August 7 - 5 packages
• 3x $10,000 monthly rake races - top100 paid - in the races, 18 more packages for the Live Final can be won, on top of the cash.
• 6x $1,000 regional freerolls - 6 packages

The Finals in London will be televised & every participant will get a full package with travel costs, hotel accommodation and some VIP nights out with the other players.

Interview with CEO behind PokerHeaven (IPN)

Interview with Crispin Nieboer, CEO of the Gaming Media Group, the comopany behind PokerHeaven - the largest poker room on the IPN / Boss Media network.

Subscription Offer for U.S. Citizens

Yes, it's right - we finally can accept U.S. members again.
For a long time, we did not - because our business model was fully focussed on making our members play online poker on tracked accounts.

Now that we introduced our subscription plan system, we are finally able to accept U.S. customers again.

Our subscription offer is tiered into four statuses / packages:

Silver - for beginners - <$7/month
Gold - the backbone status, focusses on NL50-100 - ~$20/month
Platinum & Diamond - VIP statuses

The statuses can be bought in 3 and 12 month packages with no additional subscription fees.

For an overview of our offers, see here:
http://www.pokerstrategy.com/subscription/


VIP Landing Page

Many know PokerStrategy.com just as a site for beginners, due to the huge success of our beginner education and free $50 programme that brought more than a million players to real money poker for the first time.

But we are also a powerful choice as an affiliate for experienced / high volume players.

Why?
1. We have very competitive exclusive rake races & promos - on most partners clearly the best world-wide.
2. On top, you can earn points so you get the full video/coaching/service package without paying for it.

new payout tiers - up to $500 per referred member

Improved Tell-A-Friend Conditions

Today, December 6, the changes in our Tell-A-Friend conditions become active!

The changes in a nutshell:
New payout tiers - up to $500 per referred member.
10% sub-affiliation - i.e. if you bring someone who in turns brings in members, you get 10% of his or her commissions.
10% revenue share on subscriptions in our points shop. Active for all referred members from November 1.

Read about all changes in detail



Red line: new payout tiers.
Grey line: old payout tiers.

$1 Gross Rake relates to 2.5 to 5 StrategyPoints.


Qualitative Assessment

Overall, the changes are be a big improvement for most referrers:

• Referring other affiliates now makes sense, as you get a 10% share on their commissions.
• Bringing more experienced players with a higher average player value is rewarded much more than before.
• Bringing only players that reach the first tier ($3-6 rake) on the free $50 bankroll is now not rewarded anymore.
• We calculated the new tiers for all players referred in 2010 and found that in average, referrers would have earned 20% more on the new tiers - even ignoring the 10% 2nd level and the 10% subscription revenue share.
• Finally, there's an opportunity to advertise PokerStrategy.com to U.S. players - the 10% subscription revenue share.

We just announced two great things:
1. A year-long add-on VIP promo for 2012 and six of our best partner poker rooms.
2. A $20,000 new year freeroll on PartyPoker on January 1.




What is the Gemstone Promotion?

Earn Gemstones, get cash!
This VIP promotion is exclusive to PokerStrategy.com and runs throughout the whole of 2012. The objective is simple: earn Gemstones for each 7,500 StrategyPoints you generate per month at one of our participating rooms.

At the end of 2012, we'll reward you with up to $200 per Gemstone earned. A Gemstone is worth between $150-$200, depending on the total amount of Gemstones you earn in 2012.

To earn one Gemstone, you need to collect between $1,500 and $2,500 of rake in a month, depending on the poker room.

All the details about earning Gemstones and Cash

More Gemstones = More Cash
The more you earn, the higher the Gemstone value becomes and the higher your payout will be at the end of the year - extra volume is rewarded!

January and February - $150 extra per Gemstone!
To spice things up a bit, we will give you an additional $150 in cash for any Gemstones you earn in January and February 2012! This means that they'll be worth up to $350 each. We'll even pay the cash amount in March 2012, so you won't have to wait until January 2013 for your full reward.

Added value on top of all other rewards!
Please note that the cash you earn by collecting Gemstones is added on top of the rewards you'll receive from promotions like our Top250, our exclusive rake races and promotions run by the poker rooms.

Why do certain sites (such as William Hill Poker) give more strategy points (5 SP per 1$ rake) than others?

Hey elusive,

The differences can mostly be explained by how much playing on a certain site / how much 1$ Rake contributes to PokerStrategy.com in terms of funding for all our content, services, events and promos.

Of course, we want everyone to be able to earn enough SP to get the right status (e.g. It should be easy to get Gold with NL100). But inside a certain range, we give more SP where the $ Rake pays more Cents on our costs.

Best,
Lutz
