my points needed per cheast has doubled and i need to clear 160k hands at my average limit to get the bonus.
Even with this step, it is a very positive step and confirms that they have wasted the last 5 years and the poker community has been right all along

Just counting down the days until the site gets sold to someone competent

first of all party has 0 advertisement unlike stars so ofc no fishes play on party poker, do u not see stars spamming neymar ads everywhere?

what i said is they shld treat fishes like vips and send them some gifts etc holiday small gifts happy biorthday celebrations etc this is what recreationals appreciate. this is what live casinos are doing also, online rooms shld do it also on a smaller scale. and trust me i understand exactly how poker economy works, i have played through all sites and all stakes over a decade..

wow the ****ers have 10x my chest points needeed after putting in large volume. still scumbags really.

Still same BS..why the hell a 3 month trial?.. to a random 20%(losing players)

Just roll it out now, 3 months is ridiculous. Seems a PR stunt.

almost impossible volume goals and insane chest points requirements. if you are short end of month you get literally nothing.
This is a big sham imo.
There is still no transparency with chests, people are leaving in droves and they are still penny pinching and scheming.
JUST OFFER ATTAINABLE TRANSPARENT RAKEBACK GOALS

After reading comments shitstars strikes again. Can’t wait till they lose their luxury lunch n can only buy a cheap lunch.

the way they advertise it 'cashback up to 65 %' while in fact most players will not exceed 15%, just another disgusting deception

Should just bring SNE back

So they can steal their money again?

I had 20k a couple of years ago hit it twice on the trott (had to kill myself) and it was raised to 30k, didn't get close to that because I struggled to hit 20 like I said so it dropped to 25k the month after, again because it was still out of reach I spent roughly the next 16/18 months grinding between 2/8k a month and getting a 25k challenge every time so don't hold your breath.

After nearly two years of not getting anywhere near the target and hardly playing it has finally dropped to 10k.

Every time I spoke to support they just said it's set by the computer and didn't want to know.

So now that the third challenge cycle is over, what now?

Are they going to permanently change the current system they have?

I haven't unlocked a chest today so i can't see if the chest reward is the old amount or new 40% RB amount.
https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/pro...?no_redirect=1

Can someone verify?

after 3 consecutive 40% RB challenges (5000 RP for 400$ cash) I received a horrendous 10% RB challenge today (7500 RP for 150$ lol)
This means I unironically need to rake 1500$ to get 150$ on top of the shitty 3$ i receive from my silver chests of which each requires raking 150$

so yes, this new system is nothing but a PR stunt

Ok i just checked now,

i had 2500 RP for 200$ cash, i now have 10% RB challenge as well (3750 RP for 75$)

The chest rewards during the exclusive poker challenge was:
BLUE = 0.5$
BRONZE = 1.5$
SILVER = 5$
GOLD = 20$
DIAMOND = 75$
BLACK= 250$

Did this also revert back to whatever shitty amount it was before?

Also got bumped down to 10%. Classic PokerStars - promise a major revamp to rakeback and then actually make it worse for a good chunk of regs.

They have zero credibility or trust at this point. Not having auto opt in for leaderboard rewards is disgraceful too.

I ve been grinding since a long time ago on pokerstars averaging raking between 8 to max 11k per month. Obv stars got me a challenge to rake 15k to get 1.5k(which is unreachable for me). I'm quite a winning player
Stars won't change, Stars will stay a scam. Stars didn't care probably about the feedback of players said that the challenge was unreachable, they had their evil plan and they do it
I don't know yet if the black value changed and if it s 25% RB value , but something is telling me probably not. It would mean they would give only 10% RB in challenge to good winning players(or maybe a lot players in general) that is unreachable so basically 0%. GG Pokerstars

Didn't the trial end just yesterday? Why are you all assuming Stars has processed all the results and feedback of the trial in ONE day and that the new challenges are part of the new rewards program...?

what is this trash, im getting 10% challenge rakeback now rofl, nice trial to actualy lower the rewards somehow, bye stars, time for gg.

So far it seems that most regs are getting 10% challenges with insane volume requirements (which most won't even complete) and the c̶h̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶r̶a̶k̶e̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶r̶e̶m̶a̶i̶n̶s̶ ̶u̶n̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶d̶ ̶(̶1̶-̶2̶%̶)̶.̶ ̶

Overall it seems nothing has really changed and the talk of 60% rakeback was smoke and mirrors.

yep thats what i see also, what a trash company...at least dont lie about trials if u actually lowering the rewards rofl

can someone edit this thread is kinda advertising stars for something it doesnt exist.

Update: I just logged in again and it seems that the new chest system has been enabled.



If your current chest still requires a massive amount of points try exchanging it for a lower level one and it should match up with the new point requirements. At least it did for me.

just did, tx

I'm only silver chest and required to make 17500 pts LMAOOOOOOOO. I ain't made anything like that amount in the last 6 months. Scumbag site as usual. Withdrawing bai
