so there are 2 options:

1) become a losing player and get 65% rakeback (not bad)
2) stay a winning player and get 35% rakeback (not bad)

thats assuming you reach the 25% constant rewards, but even if you only reach 20% (which is very easy) you still get 60% as a losing player and 30% as a winning player

Mentioned this in the other thread but imo the issue ain't the 10% you get. The issue is the ammount you need to rake to get it. Playing there when the games are good with the 30% avg you get with 10% challenge would be nice but I'm pretty sure that for most of the players that is not possible. You need to put in big volume to hit that. And in format like spins playing with 10% challenge is just stupid.

well, who can expect big rewards without putting in big volume

You mean the 10% extra rb is "big reward"?

How do you only reach 20%? I logged into PokerStars today to check and everything appears the same for me as before although I guess it could change after clearing the current chest I'm on.

As far as I'm aware I've been receiving constant rewards of 25% for every chest I open. Every month since this new program opened I've also been offered monthly challenges for another 10%. I've yet to ever clear one. I logged in and I'm still offered that same 10% challenge this month.

What exactly has changed other than it sounds like less regs are now going to be offered 40% monthly challenges? That Stars reply didn't really make clear atleast to me where that money would be reallocated to in the system.

i think an extra 10% on top a fixed 25% is very decent, maybe not big

but i dont know any other major site where you can get 35% while being a winning player

Man, extra 10% is not bad as others menctioned before, the problem is that if you need to do a big effort (imagine raking 7K for just 700$) is too much for being all the month thinking about the bonus (and sometimes for sure losing in tables even that)




In my particular case, I regwared vs a decent reg, I had a big ev up and big net up (about 15k) and then they removed my 40% of bonus to 10% of bonus. So basically I just lost the last 6 months that amount. So in conclusion there is no sense on regwaring because if you have an up they remove it and if you have a down wouldn't make sense to play against that player.

Everything senseless.
