Poll: Do you like Pokerstars new rewards system

#1 September 9th, 2017, 1:21 PM

Pokerstars claims that they have clients interests in mind and that they aim to IMPROVE the experience for the average, recreational player. So let us get acquainted with the real user experience, shall we?

If let to choose, which Pokerstars rewards system you would prefer to have (meaning WHICH ONE IS BETTER IN YOUR OPINION):

A) VIP club with 6 (or 7, if you include supernova elite) steps that award players with starscoin and starscoin only

B) Chest rewards system that include various prizes (now existing system)

#2 September 9th, 2017, 2:02 PM

No. I don't play anything on pokerstars.

#3 September 9th, 2017, 2:21 PM

No its brutal they keep giving players less and less party poker too

#4 September 9th, 2017, 2:29 PM

the 1st one is better

now everything seems so shady even w/ the "boost" system

#5 September 9th, 2017, 3:01 PM

The old system was better.
We knew what we were playing for, at each step.
The Saturday's freeroll was fixed.It wasn't left in 'chance' for participation...

#6 September 9th, 2017, 4:09 PM

I'd rather see them cut the rake a bit and get rid of all rewards/points systems. Oh, and btw, I remember Stars from a number of years ago. It seemed much more oriented to the average recreational player back then.

#7 September 9th, 2017, 4:51 PM

I like the old one, the only good thing about this is that maybe you're lucky enough to win $ 1,000.

#8 September 9th, 2017, 5:54 PM

This chest thing is sh*t.. i played a lot and i winned about 2-3$ ... back in time you could win money a lot more easier

#9 September 9th, 2017, 7:38 PM

I liked the old system more. I just can not get used to this ...

#10 September 9th, 2017, 9:21 PM

These chests full of crap. I don't like.

I play a lot on Pokerstars and I absolutely despise the new system of rewards. The Chest reward is just a gimmick and the most I ever received is a 0.10cent ticket and 7 stars.
Before you could easily rack up 3-400 stars for use in events, now they are just so hard to collect.

#13 September 10th, 2017, 1:20 PM

i think both are fine

#14 September 10th, 2017, 1:40 PM

Тhe new system needs an upgrade. It's a parody for me....

#15 September 10th, 2017, 2:53 PM

It's too early for me to have a clear opinion about the new rewards system of pokerstars , if I like it more or less .
Maybe it gives less than before , but I guess it's not only pokerstars that does it , isn't it ?

#16 September 10th, 2017, 3:36 PM

Interesting that almost all who express their opinion say its negative. But the poll right now is 5:4 !

#17 September 10th, 2017, 4:03 PM

it is difficult to get used to this system, the old one was better

#18 September 10th, 2017, 5:09 PM

I like the new one , it is very interesting

#19 September 10th, 2017, 5:21 PM

It's not interesting.

You Tube

#20 September 11th, 2017, 12:27 PM

The numbers speak for themselves. I wonder how much the guy paid in rake to get those 50 chests...

#21 September 11th, 2017, 12:45 PM

I too like the old rewarding system of pokerstars.

#22 September 11th, 2017, 2:02 PM

I particularly did not like the new platform of the new poker reward stars

#23 September 11th, 2017, 2:29 PM

a new reward system for poker old many may not like it , must wait for only the best

#24 September 11th, 2017, 2:50 PM

Theres a long time I ve stopped to play in this site

#25 September 11th, 2017, 4:43 PM

I like the idea of the chests and how to get them but the rewards should have been a lot better. I havent played much with the old system so i cant really compare them. If they improve the rewards i would like this system more but ofcourse you can allways claim its rigged and you would never get decent rewards.

#26 September 11th, 2017, 5:16 PM

For me to be honest, previous ladder rewards have nothing not given,and this...

#27 September 11th, 2017, 7:41 PM

personally i like the actual system, i'm happy with it, and won my first chest for free

#28 September 11th, 2017, 11:17 PM

i prefer actual system, not a great thing but the past method was bad for me because i don't play regularly in pokerstars and even worse i play at micro limits only . you know there was a time limit to reach 7 coins and now there is no time limit.

#29 September 11th, 2017, 11:28 PM

Yes!

#30 September 14th, 2017, 1:25 PM

Chests rewards system is not a bad idea after all, and a lot players like it.

The bad thing about new system that some players do not realize is, that the ca$hback is far lesser than it was before. Right now there is approx. 10% cashback, which, obviously, is hard-to-imagine it could be that bad. See the cashback chart here:

I didn't vote because I didn't like either.
I have no interest or knowledge of the latest chest rubbish.
I was unimpressed with the previous reduction in rewards when star coins were introduced.

The original VPP/FPP was easier than other sites which required signing up through special rakeback sites to get anything back.

I also agree with Matt,

And I also remember Stars from a number of years ago when it seemed much more oriented to Poker Players back then, while now it seems more oriented to betting gambling and Amaya Inc profits.

The old system, I think, was better. Lately they are doing everything to complicate it all, so to pay less money to players, and they got more!!

: If let to choose, which Pokerstars rewards system you would prefer to have
A) VIP club with 6 steps that award players with starscoin and starscoin only		50.00%
B) Chest rewards system that include various prizes (now existing system)		50.00%
