with how disingenuous and money grabbing every single amaya update has been since launch (including multiple times making every effort to hide rake increases / making it hard for recs or clueless people to find rake in beat the clock etc) I don't see how we can have any optimism for this update.

It's the perfect system for a poker site. I know I will enjoy and be excited about opening each and every chest. Well done stars! (Didn't think I'd be saying that til the scheinberg's came back but there you go)
It's great if you as a 'poker reg' enjoy slot machine style mechanics , with poor payouts (guaranteed just like every single other box system in any game out there currently). Instead of getting , say $10 every milestone, You get forced to buy a lotto ticket / slot machine spin / however you look at opening a chest to get probably something like $5 ev avg or less (if going based on game payouts it would be something like $1.75 ev) with your small chance of winning the lottery for a million $$$.
This is keeping in mind that that $10 milestone reward is already something you get after making ~$40-$50 for pokerstars, so now just to try to get anything back you have to spin this wheel and hope you get not complete trash.. So make $50 for pokerstars, get $5 back on average. Sounds like a GREAT fulfilling experience.
Much more open if they added chests as a VIP store choice , have 1k stars coins = $10 OR a chest open for those slot machine loving 'regs' as you put it , since apparently all of us poker regs just LOVE a gambol that's why we play a long term +ev game and put effort into our game to make sure we are profitable...
