If you're not raking at least $25 a week on party your rekeback will be 0.

what seems to be the average rakeback nowadays on stars?
it seems im getting 4 or 5%

Partys smallest zoom is NL5.

4-5% seems pretty damn high at this point.

In my last 50 chests, i got like 1$ chest twice. That's it. That's all the rakeback. And i guess enough points to maaaaybe buy a 10$ stellar reward.

Anyone know if these football chests have better prizes in them or are they just reskinned normal chests?

wow my chests are just plain ridiculous these days.. cant get over 20 points

At one point I dropped about 40% of my BR and I got a $50 (around 10% of my BR) chest.

Since then I've increased my BR 5x with stretches where I've dropped 20% of it and I've been barely getting 50 cents/1 dollar here and there. Despite the fact that the actual rake I've been putting in is relatively (to low stakes recs) serious even playing a ton of 50NL recently.

Basically, the key to a good chest is to be getting rekt at the tables, the key to bad chests is play good poker.

I reckon the girl in your avatar is a terrible player!

So as expected they contained a free bet on sports.
I usually don´t do sports betting and for sure not on Stars, but hey, why not.
It wasn´t free, it got deducted from my balance.

We currently have a delay on the prizes our players won in the football chests. You will receive the bet within long, and we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Six hours in, nothing happened yet. One almost would think that they hadn´t this promotion lined up for weeks and weeks.

I got 5 chests... $1.75, $1, $12, $12, $4.50. I'm not unhappy with that.

I opened 8 and got either 85 coins or 100 coins so not really happy, no.

i got 4 and got
$12 sports bet
$38.50 cash
$12 cash
$38.50 cash

I'm the #1 rake payer on the entire site too. So yea, pretty **** but who's actually shocked?

I played poker one evening a week or so ago (PLO10 - PLO100), earned something like 10k points total for which I got two silver chests and two footy chests, both footy chests had 450 Starscoins so = 9 USD. Pretty decent.

Played PLO200 and had 10 football chestes
4x €9.50
6x €30

I am also banned from their sportsbetting for playing high value odds, so I guess they gave me the money instead of free bets ^^

Was pretty surprised, had 12 chests, got $167 total from them. Actually gives me decent rakeback for the month.

I knew the football chests had extra value and got one with decent points for nano stakes and got a cash prize of 85 cents but considering I'm a winning player and get usually 8 to 12 cents this was decent. Does anybody know what the top prize for this promotion was worth?

Yes I had a run from hell where I was on 15 buy in losing streak getting in marginally good to 98 percent and still losing and at my lowest point in the losing streak I got a 70 point chest. They did model this crappy reward system after Ongame and their mysterious reward system.

Ive actually had pretty decent look in chests. Ive basically just been playing 5 dollar spin & gos and earned 4 chests. Got a 10 dollar, 25 dollar and one I got a 15 dollar spin and go ticket in which it was a 90 dollar spin and ended up taking it down.

Got 4 chest total $6,75 last night and grind it up to $300 now *brag*

Btw try opening(clicking) the chest when the chest jump..I got all cash except from 1 that I didn't click it right (or maybe just my luck)

so, what we're all saying is that more rake is better?

If a mod could kindly update the thread to:

Stars confirms new rewards program: Chests are mostly empty

it would be appreciated, thanks.

i‘m not even sure if chests or randomized/jackpot rakeback is a bad idea per se, it‘s the implementation that sucks. a) the system is too intransparent, i don‘t see why the ‚personalization‘ has to be that opaque, why not give out clear numbers on how one is being categorized? b) it‘s boring, why isn‘t there something like the option to not redeem your chest but use it as a ticket in a monthly or w/e lottery with low payouts to a decent % of players and a big prize up top? c) the effective rakeback % is so low that the actual average dollar value of the majority of chests overall is so low that it doesn‘t correspond well with the actual games that the site offers, especially not the ones that have the highest perceived value like mtts or spins. if you get an <1$ chest, what game are you really incentivized to join that doesn‘t look like micro stakes relative to what you played to get the chest in the first place?

this system seems to have some potential to actually incentivize ppl to grind more, partly motivated by the goal to unlock chests, partly because many ppl like a gambool, but as it is it seems like it‘s more annoying to ppl than everything else.

Anybody else needing 1250 for an empty Blue Coffin? What a Joke...

hahahahahaha im sorry dude but its so **** its actually funny

by the way if you play less, they give smaller clearing rates. they literally reward you for not raking so maybe you could try playing on 2 sites

yeap me too and 550 red ones
