very nice schedule, timing couldn't possibly be worse though

It ran for 8 hours 26 minutes. Lack of transparency was really disheartening especially for people like me who've done it shortly after the closure. Having first 100-200 people as limit for the promo would be much easier to swallow, instead of "at discretion" crap.

I never said it was a good promo ending, and I understood it to start at Midnight Eastern and finish at 16:26 EST, tho I may have been wrong about that. Of course, it was dumb and it should have been a maximum number of people to win with a counter that showed how many payouts were left rather than at discretion, but complaining in here to someone who doesn't even run it, is pointless was mostly my point (and that someone was always going to be disheartened by not realizing it was 180 man day and started late given the finite time or number of winners).

+1 wtf

both the announcement 9 days before the stars and the timing of those mtts- 109 1mil on december 25th and 215 1mil on jan 1st is just so ridiculous i m actually at a loss for words. hope both overlay 200k bc honestly this timbey placing deserves nothing less

(yes i m tilted and no i wont play on any of those days, sue me)

very nice schedule! christmas present

You want to say that 16 hours is ok? I would like to play this promo whole week, because this is a really decent promo if they run it properly. They could make it instead of trash promos where you can win some dollars. Here you can win really big and people like it. More promos like this please!

first of all, thanks for this pretty cool scheduled series...well done

don‘t have access to the software atm, so will those be 2day events like during scoop?

only big criticism are guarantees. If you keep nitting it up this way you will be overtaken by party pretty soon and people will prefer to play there.
You have a couple of overlays here and there and instantly reduce gtds all over the place.
Would like to hear some statement on that point

please offer some nice deadlines/Mega Sats

Pretty cool adding Winter series - there could've been some discussions here/other player channels to make sure that timing is planned out differently, etc, but anyways - thanks! seems like a lot to do around new year's and quite a bit of fun to be had

Is there any chance we can get the schedule in an excel/google sheets (would be great to have that for every series really)? I remember having that for some major series in the past posted here and it was super convenient instead of having to create one myself every time

+1, this would be so useful

Should have ran when the HR series ran

Looks pretty sweet if you ask me! Especially with the extra $30K packages for the ME winners! even the micro winner

Well done PS with 4 tier bi series!
All players now can play.

Pls run a lot of sats like in true series.

Great schedule!!! 4 tiers accommodates everyone too

Too bad it was announced this late. Many players, regs n recs alike, will miss out on many/most/all events.

I loved a lot to play those 180 micro sttmtt during the challenge. It would be very nice if somehow PS made some permanent promo for 180 so they load faster during the normal lurking day at Europe. Like u cant play only micro/low stakes mtts during that time if u live in restricted country and u have to play some 6/9/18/45 bots sngs.

Thanks Stars ur awesome
Dear WATnlos,

We frequently review our policies across all areas of the business including our currency exchange facilities. We, like any business, are subject to foreign exchange charges and do our best to reduce this cost to the bare minimum. We listen to customer feedback and closely monitor those rates and associated costs. For several years, we have applied foreign exchange margin at various times when our customers convert from one currency to another.

In the last few years, we have monitored foreign exchange closely and applied a small margin in a variety of currencies. To mitigate the risk associated with the volatility of certain currency conversions, beginning on 18th December, 2017, this margin will also apply to currency conversions in all gaming activities as well as intra-account transfers (between bankrolls). We are confident that the foreign exchange rate plus margin applied to your selected currency is very competitive with - and in most cases better than -- the exchange rate and margin that is offered by most banks, card issuers, and other payment providers.

Please note that as per our ‘Real Money Transaction Processing and Currency Conversion terms and conditions’, for deposits and withdrawals in most currencies, we will add a special margin to the mid-market exchange rate provided by XE (Source XE). Also, as detailed in our ‘Online Software End User License Agreement’, we charge a margin on currency exchanges effected via the Currency Exchange Facility which we may, at our discretion, waive for some types of transaction.

If you are frequently converting funds in your gaming activities, it may be favourable to consider maintaining your funds in the gaming currency in which you most often play.

speechless on how much trouble this will cost and money !!!!!!!!!!

Ok guess i'm moving back some volume for the winter series then! Too bad im travelling for new years so i can only play until 28th :/

But cool stuff PS, welcome back in the game, kinda

this. would've played the whole thing, now have to skip it entirely. also a bummer how last minute these things are all announced as others have said.

Hope this isn’t a replacement for TCOOP and it still runs in January.

yes, we still want TCOOP :>

Winter Series. Got excited at first. But wait. No leaderboard existing? Come on! What's the point of having a series without a leaderboard...?

Really cool series. But why announce it this late? We have lives besides poker so would be nice to know this way before the event starts, so we can plan to have free time when some series are running.

Really really dissapointed by this super late annoucement.

They haven't even announced it yet. Just in the client

thats really weird

somone posted a tweet about the announcement but nothing yet

Luke probably on christmas holiday already
