*** Chest Rakeback At Pokerstars *** - Page 4 - Internet Poker

Yeah, was reading up on it and saw that it's about 6% average for a lot of people, but from my understanding it's basically 6%+ with the chance to win bigger prizes? Hitting rare chests can bring your rb up for over 100% at some intervals. So was mostly wondering what is the overall expected value you can get? (if this is even possible to calculate within all this convolution)

Last I remember reading when SN became a monthly status, it was about 25%, I can't believe they would lower rewards to under 10% average expectation, even for grinders?

Those bigger prizes aren't worth thinking about. They're just something to use in advertisements. Someone did the maths and you've got more chance of being hit by lightning (literally).

Haha, wow so they went ahead and lowered rb to below 10%, no matter how much you rake?

And I assume there is still 0% for games above 10/20 nl and 15/30 limit or thereabouts?

Jeez, was curious to see how the site has changed and whether it got softer with all the changes but it seems the raping continues esp since I see no indication that it did get softer, but on the contrary. Not really keen on trying it anymore.

Saw the rewards table recently and it looks horrible even for the casuals. Anyone have the difference between what you would get for corresponding vip status vs the chests?

The formula seems to be generally:

Chrome Star, Silver Star, Gold Star, Platinum Star = Bronze Star

(Or Lowest Chrome Star 12%, if you are lucky. Or worse than Bronze Star e.g. 6%, if you are unlucky)

and usually:

SuperNova = ~3% Rakeback

and if you stay at the bottom:

Bronze Star = Chrome Star capped on the first few steps. (If you play more, see above).

and probably:

Depositor = Platinum/Supernova !

(until you start winning, then see above).

I'd been losing since chests were introduced and been getting pretty good prices (4250 for golds with an 1800 boost). Finally back to evenish (lost around $1000 now down about $100 since July 7th) and they raised my gold chests to 5250 and silvers to 3400. Mother ****ers.

Graph inc rakeback since Chests began.

I'm pretty sure you can spot the point where they raised my requirements a couple of days ago.

What stakes is that? I didn't really notice a difference in profibility (but with old RB the RB only made up about 20% of my winnings at most anyways). On the other hand games are a bit softer IMO (talking about SNGs), but volume dropped a bit so it's essential to play at least 2 different buy in types or formats at once to still get in relativly big volume. $7+ MTSNGs volume is very much down sadly. On the other hand, like I said before, that comes with slightly less regs overall.

Jesus, that's ****ing disgusting. Nice 2% rakeback EV. Worst I've seen yet. They really don't want you on the site.

Wow! I didn't even think it could go up that high lol. I thought the lowest it could go was around 6% RB?

If you ever managed to get to platinum it would cost about 60k

Hi, a query, I have seen that some players must generate more points to open the chests and other people less, these ranges of points for each player, how often are they updated? monthly, annual or is a percentage of the rake generated daily by the player. Thank you
