Sorry. It says nothing.
If you don't understand anything and promoter/initiator doesn't explain to you well, it's something unfavorable for you. Just observation.

It doesn't apply to highrollers or anyone who plays higher $10/$20. And you can't unregister.
But whole program reminds me of this

Unregister?? I just stopped playing so it means stopped paying rake... How it doesn't aply?? They don't have statuses anymore just like us, and if we have lower rakeback because off it, they have too, or??

When you play stakes above $5/$10 blinds in cash game they don't get rakeback anyways. It's the $1/$2 and medium stakes full time grinders that will be effected most. Also tourney grinders between $11-$215

nope, have opened around 15 chests so far (some blue and bronze) and have never received more than 80 star coins or 80 boost points yet.

I was extremely disappointed in opening my first chest. The new rewards promise money, tickets and coins. I only got 20 coins, 50c tournament money and 5 points to my next chest. I almost went broke trying to get to the chest. I feel this is an absolute waste of time. They say if you open 4 chests in 1 day the rewards do get better. It is unbelievably hard to get to the chest though. my first chest i needed 165 points, for my next chest it's 200. I'm very disappointed in the new rewards program.

Wel stop playing like i did and hope lots others do same thing... There are plenty other sites....When they see they are losing more than getting by reducing rakeback, they will get it back even bigger!

They don't care. It's creators or promoters of Ongame. They care only about money. If site goes broke they just sell it and/or buy new one.Wel stop playing like i did and hope lots others do same thing...

You are not alone I very disappointed as well I have opened a bunch around 15 chests got no rewards of note.
My first one had $1 T money and about 115 star coins which turns out to be my best one by far. I am mostly getting either around 30 cents or around 60 cents in rewards and I have to play more than $300 in buyin to open a chest. They are just not worth it.

What you mean?? If you have site which works great you are making good $, if people play less, you have less profit, if it goes broke you are not making anything, so its your intrested people to play more, or am i missing something??

Tell it to them. They have done it to Ongame why can't they do to pokerstars the same? I hope they won't though.

I would realy like explanation, is something wrong in what i wrote? Won't they earn more by running it wel, than by destoying it?? I mean i had around 30k vpps in last 20 months, so payed around 6k rake.. Got back around 1200.. Now i will play only some tourneys for not more than 50$ rake a month which is 1k in same period so they are in - .. Whats good for them there??

Oh sorry, I didn't know that you didn't know.
Amaya bought Pokerstars and started to change rake, brings casino. Many Pros left because Amaya didn't want to pay them the same amount money. Only if less. Or because of casino. All protests of high rollers in cash games (not to play few days) have done nothing. They try to make profit as much as possible in short time. Even though site goes broke on long run.
They changed program of rakeback 2 or 3 times before this.
No, you wrote all right. All understand it. Except owners of Amaya.
And forgot to say, owners of Amaya had huge debt. Some high rollers are scared of repeating of story of FullTilt. Should I tell story of FullTilt?

they are listed on the Toronto stock exchange, they have to bring in more money and they will do so by using the rake and creating new game types (spin&go, KO,..).
I don't think you can compare the company philosophy from today with the one poker stars had, let's say 7 years ago.

they go towards your next chest

You need to collect points in order to open chests. You collect points based on the rake you pay for the games you play calculated at 100 points received per $1 played.
They give us a boost every 8 hours of earning double points but it is limited to a certain number of points based on the the color of next chest.
Easier to understand if I give you an example.
I get a boost on 360 points when I have to open a bronze chest. Once the boost is active my next 360 points earned are doubled i.e. instead of getting 24 points for playing a $3 spin n go I will get 48 points towards filling my chest meter. This boots remains until I play the equivalent of 360 points and get 720 points to fill my meter. Once completed a timer of 8 hours starts which is the time until next boost. The timer only starts when completed.
