Task for me: Earn 500 Redemption Points to get a $40 cash reward.
In other words, you need to pay $100 rake to get a $40 reward cash. 40% rakeback!
Do you have a similar offer? If so, what are the conditions for you?

This challenge have been running every month for the past 6-8 months.

They tailor it depending on your volume of play. I have never completed a single one.

I wish mines was only 500 points.

$2000 rake in a month is a lot normally pay a third or half of this each month.
Like joeisi said they make it a bridge too far the amount of $100 turbos and spins I would need to play to clear my $800 reward offers in the past is crazy.
Stick to your normal game you can lose lot money chasing this clearance if rushing.

It does seem they create challenges that are negative EV intentionally. Beware.

I have the same offer as Lekain here, i had no idea that was personalized offer, i guess Poker Stars offers players something we can hardly achieve based on volume of play from each of us. No one is really thrilled with Poker Stars's loyalty program in past couple of years. Yes, seems like 40% of rake back, so close and so far at the same time. I just can say, well played PS once again.

I have not seen this one. Maybe it is in some markets only?

I don't have any offers in Stars and generally here and 2 years that I play I have no bonuses and offers. I think it's something they should improve in order to be more attractive to players.

Blimey! Very serious requirements are set for you in the task!
Have you also been given about a month to complete the task?

I understand that they are at risk. But you must admit that 40% rakeback is attractive! There have been no such offers from PS for several years!

Wait a bit. Soon you will be given a similar offer.

I've seen a similar offer. PokerStars intends to increase the intensity of games with this feature. I just closed it and didn't pay attention earlier.

I haven’t seen any promotions like this but it’s probably because I play mainly the $1.10 MTT which is a 12 cent rake. Would take forever to hit anything like that to get rewarded.

Nice if you play enough to make it and they may get more people hitting their goals with the social isolation going on. They’ll probably cut it out once they realize too many people reaching it.

Best of luck on the tables.

mine is 80 $ for 1000 point why ?

All offers are created to increase the intensity of games.

Have you been offered a lower cash reward for less Redemption Points?

Poker Stars is making it harder and harder to make any money. |They seem to be catering to those who make regular deposits only. I guess the figure they have enough regular paying players that they do not need to offer freebees anymore.

I also play $ 1.10 MTT and below, but this offer is available to me. They will offer you soon. And as Joeisi said in post #2:

This challenge have been running every month for the past 6-8 months.

And for me this offer is available for the first time.

When I see that challenge, I don't run it. I would have to dramatically increase the stakes, as I would not finish the challenge for the rest of my life. Deadline for completion - one month. Unbelievable! Very incorrect offer!

A little less than a month, 28 days.

I get to about 30-40% way there if I play a lot. I am 20% there this month with 10 days to go. 0% chance I complete it.

You do not get any reward if you do not meet target. I wish they prorated it I would get $100 free in 10 days.

Since this promotion has been running it has always been achievable but the dollar amounts vary and it is always 40% Rakeback.

I think it varies depending on either your volume of rake earned in prior months or it could vary by your net deposits . Your rewards points per chest to unlock is based on net deposits I know this for sure because I asked them. I have not asked them about this because it is a useless challenge for me as I know I would never achieve it. I do almost all other challenges.

Have you been offered a lower cash reward for less Redemption Points?

No

But a couple of the past months it was not 5000 points it was less one month and more the other.

Each is offered 40% rakeback. And the conditions for receiving cash reward for each person are determined individually.

Even with such terrible conditions, PS continues to hold tens of thousands of users. Although so many competitors offer better conditions!

Of course this is a provocative offer. But compared to their other offers, it’s really worth it!

Same requirements (5000 points for a $400 cash reward) were generated for my profile.
It happened on 17th Mar after I had another similar challenge generated on 19 Feb (10.000 points for $800 cash reward that I didn't had time to do it).

Last year I had 2 months in a row a similar challenge offer of 4500 points for $540 cash reward (also split in several milestones e.g. 1500 / 2250 / 3000 / 3750 / 4500 redemption points for $30 / $60 / $120 / $165 / $165 cash rewards)...so clearly better and easier to be made.

On this thread:

https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poke...llenge-416563/

can be found more information and suggestions about how i did it then / what types of games I've played.

Now it was a little tougher to be accomplished because:
- the rake-back was smaller and the target set bigger
- no more several milestones, so even if you made 99% of it, no bonus
- meantime, playing multiple tables at cash games was capped at 4

I did it and hopefully these days I will receive another one...as a last mention, this year challenge come as a chest you could open (after will appear inside the challenges box), not as a challenge automatically. Same with the cash reward after finishing it.

Anybody interested in what I have played to be at least break-even and to finish it more quickly feel free to wrote me for an advice.

Of course, step-by-step cash reward is much more profitable! That way you can get at least something.
The offer went bad for me, and a new offer was not received for me.

I have just received another chest with the same offer / challenge:
5000 points for a $400 cash reward...expires in 27days 5h...

For me it started also with 5000 points / 400 USD. I completed a few of these, then it increased to 10000 / 800 USD. Didn't complete these like two months in a row. Then it became 15000 / 1200 USD. Didn't complete the first month, but finished it the very next month. Now it became even bigger, 20000 / 1600 USD. Don't think will achieve this much. That's about 150 of 11USD sng'os everyday for 28 days straight. Sick...

Wow! It seems that you are the only one who could get a cash reward for this offer! And what a great point requirement! You are really cool!

I have the $40 offer as well and last month I had an $80 offer.

it seems to be related to ur chest status

I have the same offer , could not get 500 points last month so they extended the offer again this month. But you need to be very active within 30 days to get your award, not for me.

Did you manage to get $80 last month?

Originally Posted by lekain poma

No I did not i was about 100 point short and forgot all about in the last few days of it .

It's a shame.
Good luck getting $40!

I do not participate in these offers because you have to be very active and compete with many players. My opinion would be very difficult but not impossible.

This time I was able to complete only 10% of the task. And yesterday I received the same offer again.
