Pokerstars Ultimate Challenge

[swingro]

The only group of players who will benefit are those who are just starting and those who have started a new level in 2015. while having a healthy bankroll management. That should be a big number :icon_salu


So basically only a very small fraction of players will actually clear this.

Actually you are almost right. Most of the usual regs at their lvl will clear it unless they did something extraordinary in one month last year and the ones that start a new lvl will clear it if they can get breakeven at least.
I only played 10NL in December because of my challenge and made it to Goldstar status and now I find it quite easy to get 2200 vpps in 30 days for 65 dollars. I have to maintain my Goldstar status anyway.
I did not understood though whay it is only 2200 vpps since I made more than 3k vpps in December.

That is very strange that you made 3000+ vpps for December and yet you only need to make 2200 to clear your bonus.

I'm nearly sure that I never made over 2000 points in any single month of last year and yet my challenge is to get 3100 points for the bonus.

I wonder how many points are needed to clear the max bonus of $1000 dollars?

 

[LD1977]

150k VPPs for 1k bonus.

 

[BigJamo]

why bother?

the way i'm looking at it is just play and do what you normally do, if you get the required vpp's needed then yay... if not then oh well.....

Yeah, that's all Im doing too.

For $1000 need 150k vpp, this bonus easy only for those players who earn around 2kk during year...

For everyone else, all these bonuses it is beyond the norm for many players or you need to set new records for achieving VPPs in month

 

[toots babos]

150k VPPs for 1k bonus.

Haha that's funny. So basically become supernova in 30 days for a 1k bonus. ....... people who have to clear this bonus will probably make more from milestones

LOL, for supernova this bonus also very hard, it is beyond the norm , only for supernova elite easy...

 

[Huwww]

I'd assume the 1k bonus would be deposited in chunks though since it's so large. Anyone know if it is or not?

No, to get this bonus, you need to earn a fully VPPs 150k, requirements the same for all...

Oh really? That's pretty rubbish. I swear the info on the challenge said some people's bonuses would be given out in parts.

 

[swingro]

I do not know how it works at the beginning of the year but 150k vpp with Supernova Elite status equals 750k fpps if I am not mistaken + the milestones worth more that 25k dollars total. So the 1k dollars is probably cigars money for some of SN Elite players. The promotion is made for small fry like us.

 

[TomLeach]

Remember before FT got shut down, they ran loads of rakey games to pump money into the website before it got shut down.... De ja vu anyone? xD

 

[duggs]

Mines only 720 for $40, it's really weird how they've done it.

 

[scorpion1367]

30$ for 390 , just coming off a 3 month break from poker not probably gonna chase this one........scorp

 

[zarzar78]

150k VPPs for 1k bonus.

It's just a bad joke from pokerstars

 

[infotunes]

$27,50, have to earn 330 points to release it. Im on 270 now, so another 60 to go.
Find it a bit odd that is does not be released in chunks. So that you have to play as your highest points of the month of 2014.

 

[w0oferr]

I have 3100 for $77,50. I had collected around 450, started playin session and after 200-300 hands I decided to check how much I had collect and BAM 830. Anyone with the same "problem" ? Is this some bug?

 

[BlackMember]

That's before I can remember were bonuses $50 for 350 vpp and acting out 90 days. And now $77 per 3100 vpp and acting out for 30 days - without any chances for me

 

[Gorak]

My target is 120vpps but I would have preferred if the promotion had started at the beginning of the month so I could achieve chrome and clear the bonus at the same time.

Anyway let's do this!
