The football chests are separate from the regular ones. What Pokerstars have not told you or mentioned is that they raised the number of reward points required to unlock a chest. I have 2 football chests waiting to be opened unfortunately they are on lowest red level. The
odds indicated 1 every 10 but I have gone maybe 2/75.
Here is how they work from the Pokerstars website:
Here's how Football Frenzy works:
Complete a Stars Rewards progress bar by playing
real money games from May 1-June 11
Win a Stars Rewards Chest for every progress bar you complete
For every progress bar completed there is a 10% chance you'll win a Football Chest.
On June 12, open any Football Chests you've found and see what extra prizes you've won
To improve your chance of collecting Football Chests, just win more Stars Rewards Chests – easy. And best of all: there's no limit to the number you can win!
Every time you unlock a Stars Rewards Chest from May 1-June 11, you could collect a Football Chest ON TOP of your normal Stars Rewards prizes.
The value of any Football Chests you collect will be tied to the type of Stars Rewards Chests. So, the bigger your Stars Rewards Chests, the richer your potential Football Chests. Here's an example:
You play real money games and complete a progress bar for a Red Stars Rewards Chest on May 10. There's a 10% chance you'll also be rewarded with a Red Football Chest. Open your Football Chest on June 12 for a share of more than $2,000,000 in giveaways on top of the Stars Rewards you won and opened on May 10.
