Pokerstars rewards got worse? Pokerstars is getting worse?

[antonis32123]

yes i have 20 more days to generate 1950 RP , yeah 50RP in 10 days is low number but i do not play like i used to . Maybe if i started playing cash games or sats or also my tickets i could achieve this 2000 RP mark , but why should i do this ?? to get 2$ or 2.5$ rakeback ?? does it worth it in terms of money invested and time invested , is this rakeback oprize good enough ?? and we greeks have no challenges or promotions to motivate us to generate more rake

I think its $3 , but yeah agree, not sure I will complete my chest either and have dropped down to the lowest level.

At least cash game leaderboard is back, which is half decent.

So to get $3 , does it worth to increase gaming hours per day or play 200 or more dollars per month ?? I don't know . Is this a motivation to start playing more ?? I don't think so .

I agree I Believe pokerstar is getting worse.

 

[pansipos]

I am in the wrong country....or?

 

[pasha poltava]

yes, something incomprehensible is happening with poker stars, all the freebies have been removed, the bar for chests has been raised, something serious is coming!

pokerstars has not been a leader for a long time. Now this is a site that is becoming more and more mediocre every year. I think we should focus our attention on more promising poker projects, such as 888 and GGpoker.

Maybe someone knows: are Star Rewards points burn off at level 1 (Blue Box)? Just using my example: I have already accumulated 1146 Star Rewards points playing tournaments on PokerStars, I am now at the lowest level (Blue Box). In 28 days I probably won't be able to accumulate 2000 points to get the gift box. Will Star Rewards points burn off or not?

Not playing on the site at the moment. Trying to cut down a lot.

I have played freerolls on Pokerstars. A waste of time as the fields are too big. Like banging your head against a brick wall wall. Virtually no chance of winning tickets with fields running in the thousands.

I had a period of time last year -> so thats about the time of your comment -> , between january and April 2024, where I played a lot of freerolls on Stars myself. and I found it to be very profitable. Because despite the fact that they regularly had 1200-1800 players, it was always the same tiny player pool who reached the last 3-4 tables. Shipped tickets worth thousands (a 1050 and a few 530's too), and made lots of tournament dollars playing the sunday million freeroll path. just didn't have a chance to turn it into the same amount of cash in the big target tournaments. Anyway, When I came back to stars this year I first figured out, that Freerolls/Freebuys got cut bei 2/3, and they have this stupid system of secret flash-freerolls limited to 100 players now for the good games. They suddenly appear at random times and you have about a minute to register. Not worth it for me anymore. The Rakeback for us Recreational players is a joke. I have the silver Chests, that's only 20%, but you don't get the 0.50$ powerpath spin&go tickets anymore. So below the line it may be worse than bronze chests ....

Well I haven't received a reward from pokerstars since the change took place . It is impossible for me to generate so much take in one month nowadays . In the past I did it sone times for the silver vip level if I remember correctly . But nowadays I dont play much

I still get the powerpath tickets. Maybe you.dont as you are not paying rake if only playing freerolls.

U only get the pp ticket in the first 2 vip levels (not sure if it's 1 or 2). If u reach the next one there are no more daily tickets untill u drop down again.

 

[Fumogrosso]

Since Pokerstars Cardschat Freeroll ended, thei are going downwards, hahaha

Good to know. They are not that valuable anyway as need to go through alot of levels to win anything (though i have cashed Sunday Millions from these)

 

[machinm19]

My first win on the wheel in a long time, I don’t log in on stars as much as I used to since the cc free rolls were moved.

 

[wushibala]

Well, I guess it depends on the type of player.
For those who mostly played freerolls, the platform definitely became worse — there are almost none left.
But for people who play real-money games, I’ve heard some say it actually got better for them.
