Your redirect of a response towards rec reward earning rates does not address the funneling of players into Spins. Unless I am mistaken, Spins have been deemed by and large to be the worst thing to hit the poker ecosystem and chews up those extra rec earnings back into rake faster than anything compared to previously having a somewhat reasonable cash rebate. Semantics aside, this is a cash grab on the "extra earnings" by removing all reasonable options aside from the least profitable, fastest rake conversion option.
From an ecosystem perspective, could you please provide the logic on how giving a rec a $0.25 Spin & Go ticket for their 25 Starscoin is superior to having a $0.01 Starscoin cash rebate with a "convert x Starscoin to x cash" option where the same player can do whatever they want with their $0.25?
Daily conversion of all Starscoin to cash on player demand would increase liquidity, and in turn, improve the poker ecosystem. On the other hand, being forced to play a specific tiny margin game that lasts all of 3 minutes that I may or may not enjoy or be any good at makes rec Starscoin essentially worthless.
Please refrain from further redirection when quoting my posts.
Watch any politician being interviewed and you'll see the same thing. They have a list of pre-approved answers regardless of the questions.
There's also plenty of doublespeak to muddy the waters. All this talk of the poker ecosystem. To Amaya a healthy poker ecosystem is limiting withdrawals unless they're jackpot winnings that can be splashed on advertising. To players a healthy ecosystem is one where games are beatable - directly contrasting Amaya's vision.
We can go back and forth arguing what's better for the "ecosystem" but that's just playing into their hands and obfuscating the real issues. Pokerstars have never clearly defined what they consider a healthy ecosystem, they're just thrown some buzzwords out there for everyone to argue over.
