JudgeHoldem1848, do you believe that IDN isn't superused?

Even if it isn't, playing browser poker isn't fun.

Wow these chests are fkn horrendous. The animation looks like it was designed by a 6 year old with crayons. The rewards are abysmal. I think I need to move a chunk of my volume to other sites. Sucks that most of the competition offer such a limited amount of decent mtt's. Admittedly I previously thought these chests might have been a good idea at first as it's a more interesting and animated way to receive rakeback. How wrong I was.

Chests are a joke, very disappointed with stars, used to be rock solid as number 1 poker room and had a great time there to be honest. not anymore

Yeah, like "How do you like our product?"

"It sucks".

"That's good, we'll see if we can make it suck even more. Thanks for your input".

I might be going rigtard here but I seem to get higher chests after losing sessions and the lowest chests after a winning won.

This crossed my mind the other day because of the way Stars said chests were tailored towards the player. So I waited until some runbad before opening.

It looks like it's all baloney anyway. Some people get different boosts, different targets, different chests. It's not a simple rewards system where everyone knows how much they get back for how much they raked. It's competely in Stars' control how much each player will receive.

I have a feeling it doesn't matter what boosts or targets you get, you'll end up with the same returns from the chests regardless of how many you open over a month.

Party,ACR and 888 are full of bots. Try Unibet Poker. No Huds or any other 3rd party software allowed, no bumhunting possible and you can change your screenname 3 times per day. Rewards up to 60%.

site where u cant track ur stats is not an option to anyone who wants to put in volume. best future site is most likely going to be winamax once italy/spain/france playerpools are united. Although getting an user there may be tough and requires some sort of TOS breaking.

Well I just had a 4 buy in winning session and received my biggest rewards yet so guessing it's not an immediate thing.

Is there any affiliate or just created account and you are set for 60%

Regarding winamax, anybody know any deal for RB or I just create account there and set to some %rb ?

You act like EVERY player on 888, Party or Stars is a bot - for a reg it should be easy enough to recognise a bot and not sit with it.

I would prefer to be able to see where I'm at and just avoid a couple of bots...

Anyway, totally the wrong thread and u seem to be on a bot mission today.

What ive heard its not just setting up an VPN but you have to provide evidence you own a property there with electric bill with your name (no phone bill) or provide a passport from those countries. If you photoshop those things its a criminal act. You would really have to move there i think. I live in Spain and i had to even provide my Spanish tax number with ID and utility bill with my name before i could play on PokerStars.ES.
But you still have time untill december to move because thats the date ive heard they will merge.

Oh and the new chests system sucks big time, its getting worse evry time they switch to a new rake system.
Its also unfair because i worked my *** off to become platinum and a couple days later its ****** useless.
