PokerStars confirms new rewards program: Chests
Do you think it's good for the future of poker and growth in number of recreational players that stars is adopting a ver
as rightfully mentioned above,micro/mid stake regs will get ~3x low rb(from 65% to 20-25%).I play 1$ flashes,so to get "Pokerstars Select" with 40% rb level i need to play 50k tourneys per month for whole year=unreal.Even 4x less distance is extremely hard(10 hours of pure game per day on 5 tables with no weekends)
No point trying to grind yourself to the select but I believe you already know this. You will get destroyed by rake and variance. Small stakes flash grinders are so focked atm. Majority of them if not all had the 40% challenges and were probably the only pool clearing them.
Yeah but with everything combined for like a spins player gg is way better option atm. Maybe even for cash player if you can hit the lbs.
oh i see what you mean now.
but i still believe that 28 days starts to count when 1st chest progress starts.
Players on Black Chest will now be migrated to Black level.
You need to earn 5 Diamond chests to upgrade to Black so this is $6,000 in rake but the period earning the first chest is not considered when the number of days are counted. This is because it is technically counting progress bars completed in 28 days. So it can be true to say you need to earn 5 chests within 28 days to upgrade whilst it not being true that you need to rake $6k in 28 days.
Here's an example to try to explain, in which a player has earned 5 x diamond chests so raked $6k and managed to upgrade but in this example they have taken 42 days to do so but would upgrade after earning the fifth chest on 4th March because at this point the statement "have 5 chests been earned in the last 28 days" is true, the player earned a chest on 5th Feb, 12th Feb, 15th Feb, 19th Feb and 4th March so 5 chests all within 28 days. The fact that the first of these chests started to be earned 42 days ago does not matter. So technically you need to earn 5 chests to upgrade but the rake amount required to be earned within 28 day period is equal to 4 x chests = $4.8k
I used to be a dedicated Stars user for about 10 years myself, and I even stuck around when they had their 1%RB because games were soft enough at the time that I didn't really care. +The competition at the time was pretty sh.t, with only Partypoker trying, but their LB challenge had it's own issues (account sharing people grinding 24/7 all week) and their client was also a giga
What he said. I hate GG but Stars is worse.

Ironic being called a shill by that guy, zero self-awareness.

Indeed, between promos like ggcare, the leader boards and the bad beat jackpots (or the gold mine promo for spins), one probably doesn't need as much rb from their fish buffet. GG care offers way more rb that way, and it's not even close.
14:10 UK time now. Nothing happens.
Not happy about PS's communication with players about the changes. We don't even know the new RB levels and how many points are needed to get there.

Diamond > 120,000 > $360
Black > 250,000 > $1,000

Can someone please Eli5 as to why this new system is bad? I'm a rakeback noob
How can they advertise 40% rb and then give less than 40%?

They don't advertise 40% rb fwiw. It's up to 40% and more for 50 / 100k year rakers. It's worse for lower stakes players and esp for small stakes flash players that are getting roughly a 40% cut in rb.
COME ON!
It's not happening today is it?
What level are you ?
Someone else on diamond mentioned same issue in Discord earlier and Stars said they would make it right - Once it finally goes live if nothing seems to have happened I would DM one of them on there if I were you.
Unless @AshleyC can help from here ?
That's weird it told me to upgrade to the .com client from .eu thought it was the new rewards system but nothing. Oh my days lost all my notes ffs.
