Woke up today to find this new challenge? stars offering 40% rakeback on a challenge is a interesting and welcomed surprise on top of w.e junk 3% chests will give

i didnt get this one :s

if this is a new way of giving some higher rakeback than 3% i like it

I have only played 3-4k hands on stars in last few months seems like it's an other selective promo like their christmas chests promo was.

Got this one aswell, and i only saw it because of this thread l0l. All the rake from my sunday session is not contributing towards this challenge caus i didnt click on start... facepalm.

anyways so u have to rake 2k for 800$ reward so 40% kinda nice. i didnt play for like 2 weeks, maybe its only for people who didnt play a certain time

80 stacks below equity, stars at least dropped my platin chests from 100k to 8350 to make up for the riggedness D:

70 buyins under EV in December. They gave me nutin'.

same

What the **** are these....where the hell is the rakeback ?

i once got this with 180days to clear

I'm a micros-stakes player and haven't played for 2 month. Today I played & saw: To keep my motivation high, Pokerstars raised my Red Chest price to 550 points...

So with some luck I can achieve a 2% rakeback now xD

I've been getting 7 coins in the red 550s for the last month. 1.27% rakeback for the lose.
But then today, I'm one of the lucky people to get a new promo called "Cash Royal" that's basically the same as Card Match, but it pays much better.
The variance is real.

Withdrew my profit, donked off my original deposit by shoving any 4 in PLO, will never play on stars again until this nonsense rake theft is changed back to a real rakeback program. Byebye stars, hello Party.

Party Poker charges slightly more rake & offer tougher games, not sure the rakeback offsets anything.

After losing around 20 70/30s in a row playing tournies this site manages to hook me up with 2 0.25$ spin tickets in which i lowroll twice for the 50ct prizepool and run like the sun to bink both of them, seriously stars, wtf

stars chests are added rakeback, you guys are greedy

not played stars reg for years, all the fuss about rake back and rewards is jus b/s, sites should just charge less rake.

things as they are rec players think chests and rake back and other rewards are "free"

lower rake at the tables won't even be noticed by quite a lot of recs so dunno what the solution is tbh, sites wanna make a profit and the market is full of other sites besides stars - 888, party even micro gaming and unibet have upped their game and got decent products now.

Obv I'm a rec player and play Grosvenor skin on microgaming at min as I dont wanna grind 6-8hr+ tourneys with 000's players. their rewards prog is coins to buy in other tourneys, no idea what % is but prob better than chests.

PS rewards prog is crap because they can be, ppl will still flood the site daily and keep playing there, maybe ppl ought to try another site, I did and haven't looked back.

There is nothing any site is doing that blows the other's out of the water regarding rewards but 40% RB is expected now since PP do it and stars are never going to match this.

Ppl need to get over themselves and realise this, if you don't like chests or the rewards in general , play at a different site?

Do I have your permission to dislike the chests system but still play on Stars?

If you're getting any of those random bonuses Stars thinks you are a recreational player

Just binked $250 from an orange one.. All is forgiven, Stars!

If you hit a downswing you're likely to get those too

Or don’t play for a while as a winning player. Basically only ppl with ~0 rakeback are winning grinders. Every time I go on an extended vacation I get promotions/bonuses that equal Supernova rakeback. I think the moneygrab of Stars is smaller than assumed because ppl at this site are mostly (winning) regs that don’t represent the player pool.

Can somebody say how much time u must stay out of play for returning to normal points or receive some promo and is this include not logging at all or just not playing .I dont want to sponsor nomore that scam of what this site became .

More changes to Stars Rewards coming, mainly reduced points for MTT grinders but also more simplified Chest system

^^

Epic, people will moan…...and still continue to play on Stars.

Bolded is a not so well hidden gimmick. They carve out every single penny. Can't wait to see this site go down.

Just wanted to pop in and give a hearty '**** you'

Thanks
