You frighten me. I didn't get the cancellation letter. Maybe they plan to introduce another reform of cashback and conduct an experiment in Sweden? It would be interesting to know what they wrote. They can't cancel the rakeback at all.

I saw in the news that Swedish law introduces licensing for poker rooms. I do not know how it was before - it is possible that there was no special regulation for poker.

It is likely that a separate poker client will appear for players from Sweden, as it is now for players from Russia - the Poker-Stars-Sochi client. The general field of players will remain, but special conditions for the reward program.

Yes, it seems so. To begin with we will not get any rakeback at all

seem like every year we get less and less back and now this.

Your government passed a law regulating gambling. pokerstars received a license, but must move to a new platform. You must stay in the world pool. But I do not understand why loyalty programs deprive you.

Perhaps this is a temporary measure for the transition period. And then the Swedish players will have another loyalty program. Maybe she will be even more generous. Miracles happen? I want to believe... :icon_sant

Well this seems to be the case. I do sincerely hope that they will fix that. Have you asked their support about it?

Edit: I have sent them an email regarding CC freerolls and other freerolls as well. We will see what they say.

We'll see how the Stars will surprise you after the New Year .... there will be no rage and probably a lot of players will leave
