Trial players just have the extra benefit of lower point requirements and higher rewards % per chest.

This was the first month this challenge has ever been offered to me so I assumed that I was part of this 20% trial. Apparently incorrectly. Forgive me.

As everyone already knows, clearly Itachi and Slugant are the top tier genius’ of 2+2. I pray that I never play against either of them on Stars ever. I’m sure I will be outwitted in every possible decision.

Same for me.. Cleared it he last couple of months. Still stuck on 48500 points for a gold chest, but I did get a $20 free sports bet that I stuck on a horse and won 300 with though.

I managed to clear mine 6 hours before it expired. Everyone complained that it's too hard to clear so it looks like they lowered it for everyone.

Does anyone have info on Stars bringing back RB to 1k+? I am currently receiving points toward my chests/challenges there, which I don't believe was happening before.

My black chests went from 20k to 35k this month, so not at 65% rb anymore but I've sunrun plo zoom this month. Was getting closer to 2 chests a day before

Yes Reward Points are now earned in high stakes games. One other change is that points earned in MTTs is now at same rate as cash /SAGs (100 RPs/$1 rake, increased from 45 RPs/$1 rake). This is for all players, no only those in the trial.

in the nicest way possible you're completely out of your mind if you think they are doing this because they care about thier customers.

pokerstars still doesnt realize negreanu ruined their rewards program which actually made gg destroy them in 1-2 years while also having negreanu join them. hmmmm i wonder if them cutting down the rakeback was good choice as negreanu explained to them hahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahah ahaahah literally brain dead move, the saddest part is they actually had time to fix this while gg was growing from like 10k plrs to 30k etc. but everyone sleeping in their office at stars appart from security.


why on earth would u ever not want ur 0 winners at the tables rakebackgrinders players, those guys keep games running and are in thousands. ggpoker is actually trying to keep everyone break evan at tbls and give them winnings only from promos and rb so they are actually constantly controlling everyones winnings while stars just said fu to all lets have only the 8-10bb crushers with table selecting like crazy on our site and the casuals. insane level of stupidity

I got a very attainable EPC so I moved some $ back onto Stars and played all day today. It's quite sad to see how far they have fallen lately, 500z wasn't running often and at 3am UK time there were about 25 players in 200z. You'd normally have at least 50 in the off-peak hours, and 500z would run for about 20 hours a day.

They need to sort their **** out ASAP but I think it's too late for them now, which is astounding given how much of a monopoly they had 2 or 3 years ago.
