Poll: Do you like Pokerstars new rewards system

#1 9th September 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 9th September 2017, 2:02 PM

No. I don't play anything on pokerstars.

#3 9th September 2017, 2:21 PM

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

#4 9th September 2017, 2:29 PM

the 1st one is better

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

#5 9th September 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 9th September 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 9th September 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 9th September 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 9th September 2017, 7:38 PM

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

#10 9th September 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 10th September 2017, 1:20 PM

i think both are fine

#14 10th September 2017, 1:40 PM

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

#15 10th September 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 10th September 2017, 3:36 PM

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

#17 10th September 2017, 4:03 PM

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

#18 10th September 2017, 5:09 PM

I like the new one , it is very interesting

#19 10th September 2017, 5:21 PM

It's not interesting.

Opening 50 Pokerstars Chests - YouTube

#20 11th September 2017, 12:27 PM

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

#21 11th September 2017, 12:45 PM

I too like the old rewarding system of pokerstars.

#22 11th September 2017, 2:02 PM

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

#23 11th September 2017, 2:29 PM

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

#24 11th September 2017, 2:50 PM

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

#25 11th September 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 11th September 2017, 5:16 PM

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

#27 11th September 2017, 7:41 PM

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

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

Yes!

#30 14th September 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,
I'd rather see them cut the rake a bit and get rid of all rewards/points systems.
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.
