Seems like its a permanent thing, $60,000 in giveaways every month

https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/pro...tars-giveaway/

So are they replacing $100K(monthly) Privilege Freerolls with $60K PokerStars Monthly Giveaways?

Yeah, it's better for the eco-system

its like winning 8-10 cents with a high variance chance to win a bit more
but well, another good chance for our chinese farmers ;3
Ive already seen like 30 % japanese players during the 180s promo in each of the 180s hypers.. pretty sure they were farming.

Nothing here, I have been grinding for 3 hours.

The lack of details on this promo is astonishing.

+1 This is why I'm not playing @ cash tables. Had they mentioned what will the prizes be and your chance of getting free cash, I might have played.

Same with yesterday's surprise promotion "PokerStars Giveaways" , didn't receive any mail, no lobby ad, came to know from Speck Champ who posted about this promotion in other thread. Very poorly done

Must not be very frequent, even milestone hands you see the odd post about someone winning.

Seems I must of been a naughty boy, Santa hasn't paid me a visit. There is no jingle of the reindeer bells either so he isn't close by

I only played around 400 hands maby a little more and stopped for the same reasons as above. Not enough info .. lack of any mention anywhere of someone winning.

Edit: Was checking to see if any details of the promo was updated to see that they have removed it altogether from the calendar.

To make up for this disappointing christmas eve promotion by pokerstars, i've decided to make my own one for you guys! I think it was meant for microstakes full ring players initially, but Santa may have now decided to let you guys join in as well

Apparently there have been many players (all of them 18+) who did believe in Santa.

One of the visible ways to deploy Santa would be similar to what Stars used in December 2012 - to put special house bots into Zoom that would always fold fast to any bet, playing a few hands per second at each of the 4 tables.

FYP

.

These promotions suck.
Qualifying to a freeroll that has $500 added (and will obviously have a ton of people)? Come on Stars. Sort your **** out for something actually half-decent that people want.

i wonder what days they'll be doing the quarterly $1 mil freerolls next year? That should be one of the better promos for non-supernova+ players so looking forward to that

Weird cos it says in the news tab that it ends on the 27th but elsewhere it says the 25th. Must be a typo somewhere

I am not 100% sure either.... probably just a "communications error".

Maybe the Santa thing was an experiment, see if traffic/deposits increase with a phantom promotion.
