Thank You!

Are the boosters fixed? Is there a way to get boosters that have more points? Also, is there a way to see what you have won as rewards in the cashier somewhere? I've won a couple $1 and $3 cash rewards but they don't show up in the cashier like deposits/withdrawals do.

I have no idea about he boosters don't pay much attention to those. Rewards I know you can ask the coins history from tools. Perhaps it shows the cash allso don't know never asked.

I had my first blue chest almost done, so I figured I grind a bit extra to unlock it. I got $0.10 tournament cash and about 10 star coins. I am not a native speaker, maybe a reward doesen't mean what I think it does?

The reward was being bent over and ****ed in the butt without lube. You're saying you didn't enjoy it?

The biggest **** up regarding these chests is that fish don't actually understand rakeback. On some of the Facebook groups I'm forever seeing posts from fish offended that they opened a blue chest and got 20c. No idea what they're paying for chests, it's quite possible they're actually getting a higher rakeback % than under the old system but it seems like most of them would much $5-$10 back one time every few months the than 20c everyday.

That is just how bad this system is Dogarse.

A large percentage of us are getting royally Fèd by this Chest system and even when you are not, it still feels like you are.

Nobody wins...oh wait, I am sorry, PS wins, silly me.

It's just the worst. Angrily clicking on those chests so they open and give me a let down every time. Is there any way to automate it so I don't have to bother with the dumb animations etc.?

Rewards in cents are a really bad look. Unibet is currently doing something where you get a silver ticket, and you can take the silver ticket to a table and do a flip, and if you win the flip you get a 1 euro MTT ticket. So the value of the silver ticket is also measured in cents, but they are avoiding the bad look of giving a cent-denominated prize and expecting people to be happy.

Yeah I can't imagine going through this process of opening up a rewards chest and receiving a few cents is much of a postive vibey kind of thing for anyone. But I guess if it weren't motivating/rewarding stars wouldn't do it. What do I know.

Bronze 2350pts--> today it is 4500pts...

Is it literally only whether or not you win or lose at the tables that determines whether or not the chest price increases or decreases?

My chest price has gone up four times in the past month and I haven't moved from micro stakes and have played less hands. I now can't keep platinum and keep dropping down In the chest values but the price doesn't decrease to make it easier to go back up like the stars site it should?

Yesterday the new promotion of these $100 bundles in chests started. At the same time the point requirement for each chest rose for me.

Is it just a coincidence that it both happend at the same day? Or have they rose the requirement for everybody & hide it behind the new promotion?

Funny you should say that because mine went up again today as well which is one of the reasons I posted that post above yours. I doubt it is a coincidence when stars is involved.

What is the $100 bundles in chest promotion? Im in Canada and there is nothing like that. Yesterday the new promotion that came up for me was the card hunt.

I'm a fan of any promotion that can be shortened to c unt.

Stars ****ed everyone with this thing and the only thing keeping me on stars is the software. If some other site announced they had stars software, I'd be gone faster than you can say variance.

i have to rake 1.915x more to earn the same chest... meaning they cut the small rakeback i was earning in half...

The reply they sent me was:

The number of reward points required to complete your progress bar can change at any time. The requirement is personalised to you, and it is affected by a number of factors including the games that you play, your results in those games, the Chest that you are progressing towards and your net deposits/withdrawals.

We are continuously working on Stars Rewards to ensure it provides an engaging rewards program, which may involve offering different featured rewards and probabilities, changing prize types and probabilities, and changing reward point requirements to learn more about player engagement. Some segments of players will have increased reward point requirements, and other segments of players will see their reward point requirements decreased. We are also offering Weekly Chest Goals for some players which award something in addition to their regular Stars Rewards. Learnings from these initiatives will help us allocate rewards in the future with the most positive impact. The total reward levels that we are giving out during this short trial are consistent with what would have been given out before the trial began.

No these chests are a scam. Im a fish, I lost more than I won and made more deposits than withdrawals since this new "reward" program came out, I still get the same ****ty chests.
