with regard to Chests...stars rewards

i had feelings and suspicions similar to this poster(and i believe there were other posts)

But today I know for a fact I was on 9/10 because of the blue progress bar. Now I log in and it's green and 8/10 chests left. I emailed them but who knows how long it will take to get a response.

so,
May 30th i complete my progress bar and am awarded a chest and a new progress bar. " level 3: 5/10 chests to upgrade"

June 2nd i complete my progress bar and am awarded a chest and a new progress bar. " level 3: 5/10 chests to upgrade"


my understanding is that it should be level3: 6/10 because i'm supposed to be 'leveling up'. Am I wrong?


fwiw i 'believe' (as I can't be certain) i was past level 3: chest 5 earlier in may, which is why i found this thread and took a screenshot of my May 30th progress bar/chest count.
also i have never been awarded more than $1 and some coins and/or pts.

Adding to the chest info....

I am currently Diamond level.

TWICE now, my chest level went from 2/10 completed, completed next level, went to 3/10, then, magically log in to find my count reset to 2/10 completed.

Happened twice. Emailed support last night.

What sort of contents do you receive when opening Diamond level chests? Ty

CYM is good. One of the few regs who doesn't seriously cry/complain in chat or berate fish.

Seems they’re undergoing maintenance or I’d show you specifics. I’m on Black chests now. Only gripe I have with the system is that while the value of a chests’ contents certainly does increase, so does the wagering/rake contribution requirement in order to get a chest.

Another thing that's so tilting... this is why I have chat turned off. The only downside is that every now and then I want to say something funny (at least to me). Sometimes I do it anyways but then I can't see if anyone responds.

Is it correctly proportional at least? I know everyone's requirements differ so it might be a little hard to compare. I'm on Diamond with a 23,400 requirement currently. I know it's somewhere in this thread but what are people's requirements for Black?

Also, I was gonna say that the key to getting a good chest is to go on a downswing right before opening one -- I binked $200 cash that way once. But then I hit another downswing right before opening my last one and just got $15

my black chest requirement is 57,450

ok that seems not bad then as the black rewards are approximately 3x the diamond rewards

I had this exact thing happen to me
I was in the live chat with stars and they explained that it’s to do with the “rolling 28 day mechanism”
So that if on day one you filled a chest
On day 29 you get that chest taken away from you
And so you only have the chest you have earned within the last 28 days

I am also diamond with a 23,400 requirement

I hope I am right In thinking this won’t increase to the 54ishk requirement until we hit black level

Weird, thanks for the info. I also just noticed that I went from 8/10 to 7/10 today. I guess that's fine but I wish they'd make that a little more clear.

I have been stuck on 6/10 gold chests despite my clearing at least 3 more over the last several days.

Will they fix this and amend accordingly or should I go through the whole excruciating email process?

Why are you trying to buy a Pokerstars account for $5k?

If I had to register it would take eternity so I just wanna jump in right away when I arrive

I'm missing something and not understanding at all.

It doesn't take long at all to register and deposit. Maybe 10 minutes?
It probably takes longer to arrange to buy an account from somebody else...and for $5k?

Plus, how would you cash out your winnings since the account wouldn't be in your name?

This seems like a possible attempt to gain an advantage via multi-accounting the same game. That is my first instinct here at least.
Second guess is that you got caught cheating or colluding on Stars and they banned your account. So you are trying to get back in the game. But I still don't know how you would cash out into somebody else's account and retrieve your winnings.
Third guess is that you are a successful sports bettor who has been banned by FoxBet/Stars because you are a winning player. Jumping back in by purchasing somebody else's account is a trick that some of the very best sports bettors try because they get banned so quickly for beating the site.
But I think that is usually in cooperation with the person selling it to also be able to cash out the money to the original account owner who then agrees to transfer it.

Anyway, laying out those theories or possibilities. That's what it looks like you are possibly trying to do at least. But trying to save time from registering doesn't seem terribly plausible to me.

why do people always get suspicious and even take time to make theories. jeez. ok if you don't like free money just live it at that. 100% I'd pay so gg to you. it's 1 year worth of salary in some places.

Okay, surfing through a couple of your old posts it appears that you are European. Are you still in Europe? Are there ways to play from Europe that make it look like you are physically in PA and that is what you are trying to do? My understanding is that their VPN detection stuff is pretty good and they will likely catch it but maybe I'm misinformed.
Still seems like a bad idea to me.

Haha.
You are trying to buy somebody else's account for $5k. That's against the rules at Stars. I'm pretty sure it is not allowed on twoplustwo. And your reason for wanting to buy an account "because registering my own account takes too long" is very odd.
So yeah, it's kind of suspicious. I was just guessing a few theories to start but now it looks like you are a guy outside Pennsylvania trying to play the games in PA somehow. Is that doable? I honestly don't know. I've heard it isn't easily achieved although I'm not really knowledgeable about such stuff.
