I keep receiving $0.50 SnG tickets from my blue chests and from brown chests I receive $1,5 worth of tourney money

I want more Starcoins! Only have about 200.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Are they in the chests of colors other than blue or brown?

We can't choose, my friend, because it's pokerstars who decide, yeah me too in the past months they didn't give me Starcoins, they just gave me cash and tickets

Honestly - pokerstars reward system is behind other providers right now - its definitely generated on a broad example to induce an -ev rake system. I would argue that is a big reason some of the best online crushers no longer play stars as their primary website of play simply because this is a rakeback issue. What do I mean? the rakeback is variant minded which is not conducive to productive expectations and outcomes - what a poker player is forever looking for ;)

Would you rather play poker against a guy that plays for the pot or one that plays for the rake?

You won't get anymore until you raise your chest level. Bronze you get 150 , silver 500 goldchest usually over 1000. Was never beyond Gold Level but all prizes are listed you can look it up

ok, it's easy. When you open a blue chest, it's 50 coins. When you have finished the blues and upgrade to brown, just mouse over the progress bar in the lobby, click it and you will see an option to downgrade again. When you confirm that you want to downgrade (back to blue chests) the progress bar will fill up again...it only takes a few seconds, and you will get another 50 coins in a chest, and you will then start the blues all over again. This is what I am doing at the moment, to get more coins to play the Deal. It's on $345,000 and it's going to pop soon, I think. Good luck !!!

Yep, the coins are a prize that you can't chose, if the box is full of coins you will take it, but generally they give tickets

Other than the coins store, what are pokerstars coins good for? Is it for that Jackpot game? How does it work?

The Deal and basically it's the best ever. The 50% of the jackpot goes to the winner but players who played The Deal within last 12 hours get the other 50% so basically you get nice reward of 2-25$ just for partaking.

This particular jackpot however has been extremely cruel I have been playing it daily since the jackpot was like 150k and it's 340k now and still growing, nobody is hitting it. Probably used like over 200 star coins already to this round, it's been literal months without jackpot.

When I started with Pokerstars I was often getting Starcoins when opening a Blue Chest. But for a couple of months it's not the case anymore. I always get $0.50 and that's all. I don't know why.

For a long time I was waiting for The Deal to hit 300000 before I used up my remaining coins but it was always getting won before it would even hit 200000 so I got impatient and used em all up a long time ago. I sure miss the days in Full Tilt (this was where the deal was originally) where you could play in freerolls to win coins.

In mine, the increase of star coin is very slow, any idea to increase them quickly?

I think the best way to collect StarCoins varies from time to time but at the moment for me the best way was upgrading to Bronze chest. From blue chests I earn like 13 star coins + some casino nonsense but from Bronze chests 150 starscoins straight up. Still getting a Bronze Chest takes long time, I think it's like worth 5 blue chests.

For a long time I was waiting for The Deal to hit 300000 before I used up my remaining coins but it was always getting won before it would even hit 200000 so I got impatient and used em all up a long time ago. I sure miss the days in Full Tilt (this was where the deal was originally) where you could play in freerolls to win coins.

I would literally do anything to get FullTilt back. Great site, well moderated, insane tournament schedule, great software & The Deal was beyond insane back then. The share of the Deal jackpot was usually over $100.... hard to say whether it could ever be the same but still
