Plan to announce changes mid Jan and launch 22nd Jan

Anyone know what changes actually are?

Is it gonna be bull **** 10% for some and 40% for others?

Trials are 40/55/65 flat and 10k rake monthly I think for the highest.

They said on discord winners and people who withdraw wont be punished.

Is anyone experiencing missing Chest points for the weekly challenge? On Tuesday, Dec 11th, I was missing 90 points that went away. The issue still hasn't been corrected. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This sounds pretty promising. Hopefully this isn’t some kind of fact twisting where they actually pay out less.

They will manually add them on Monday if you fall short by the amount of points you are missing. There are details in the software feeeback section on discord.

Ok thanks man.

Looks like Pokerstars is slowly realising, that just because they had a monopoly on the market for well over a decade, it doesn't mean they can treat their customers like sh.t and get away with it. From forcing an awful graphic overhaul (Aurora) down "everyone's throat" to offering the worst RB system in the industry (which ofc they did try to improve on over time, when they saw that they are bleeding players to other sites). And recent months even their servers having issues regularly (so you can't even say that at least their site is more reliable, despite ridiculously low traffic compared to its glory days).

Might be a bit too late though on their end. They really need to offer something extremely juicy here, because the traffic on the site is depressing these days if you aren't an MTT player, and even when games are running, the action isn't too hot.

I play PLO, and at the time of writing this post, at Stars only PLO50z is running with 27 entries in the pool. The site has 11.5K active players. Compared to this, GG has a healthy pool for every stake between PLO50-200, which basically runs around the clock every day. I think it's safe to say that Stars lost majority of it's regulars, and they can only blame themselves.

It's not like GG (or other alternatives for the matter) are that amazing. GG has it's own issues. But they have a lot of things going for themselves that attract both regulars and recreationals, and while it feels weird to write this given how strong of a position PS initially held in the industry compared to the rest, it simply feels like Stars is "late to the party" in the present.

All in all, will be interesting to see what they can come up with, but unless it's something amazing, I doubt they can turn around their rapid decline from respected market leaders to mediocrity.

My latest bonus went from 700pts for $56 to 800pts for $16. I will not be pursuing it. Maybe I'll just have to wait until bonus system gets re-vamped later this month.

Let all the idiots and Dnegs cucks get cheated and treated like trash at GG poker. Makes me laugh. I know I have sick sense of humor wife has been telling me that for 15 years.

Looking forward to the new rewards program. Hopefully that and GG latest scandal once it gains traction and becomes more know to the majority(hopefully it will) maybe we can get some players back to Pokerstars. It's honestly or should be one of the most trusted(least scummiest with few scandals) sites to play at. I've been around 20 some years I will no longer play anywhere else. When or if I can't play PS I guess I'll be making more trips to the Casino an hour away.

Cheers!!!

DNEGS is the one and only GOAT of poker. Have you ever seen his soul reads on live MTTs? O my god he is so good

Soul reads? You mean the nit at the table raises me so I correctly assume he has a set and talk about it outloud. Litteraly 100% dnegs reads comes after an opponent action that plays like an open book. He’s reading the situation at hand with a gross player profile based on history.

Dnegs cucks and their ****** gg followers seems like an accurate soul read.

By the way, I met dnegs here, he was an ass. Looks like that when there’s no cameras and millions at play, he’s a careless selfish *******.

You see the greatness of a man on how he treats someone he needs nothing from. Dnegs is not a great person. And watch out, because one day it might be you whom he needs nothing from.

This applies to girls as well. They were girls treating me amazingly well and sweet, but was treating other people with apathy. Guess what happened next. Yep. Two face snakes. That’s how she’s gonna treat you when she doesn’t need you no more.

Yeah I'm not cuck of any player. But that's one opinion I guess but it really depends on the measuring stick one uses.

Shame he says such stupid and moronic things but then a lot high stakes players takes are a clown circus of bs frozen cold takes.

And as a Canadian who meant him in person for a Canadian he's freakin tool and so much of a jackass it isn't funny.

Cheers!!!

Whens the new RB system start?

Does anyone here have an issue where you can't open a stars chest and have to close the stars software almost every single time and then log in stars again in order to open?

Yep, every time. But at least closing the client, logging back in and then immediately opening the chests through the rewards tab usually works.

I haven't had to do this in a long time but as a final resort you can get on chat and a support member will open them for you.

Quite often I am not able to open the chests. What I have to do quite often is log into the Pokerstars Sports website and open them there. Ya it is quite annoying.

For me I just try again a few times and usually works within 5 tries.

I tend to have to log into the website aye. Pretty shitty experience.

Yes this is the exact same for me. Very rarely open first time, usually takes four or five goes to open. Feels like it's getting worse as well.

Try to open leaderboards before you open a chest.Thats was an advice from stars support some months ago because i had same issues with my challenge window and it worked.

Open the chest on mobile and/or via rewards menu
