I got an email a couple of days ago from pokerstars in which they told us they are going to change the reward system. I didnt think it would end that abruptly.

Just after tables being shut down for 10 minutes of maintenance, I realised the change in the system., which is very close to reward systems in "League of Legends" (which is aimed at a teenage audience mainly.)

Neither me or anyone else has any VIP status whatso ever, meaning that grinding and showing loyality and trust by playing on the site has no benefit anymore. Instead we receive chests. I received 2 of them just by playing 500 hands of PL25 zoom, which is comparativly fast when you consider startcoins reception in the old system.

Now what I received was a couple of minor star coins, 1$ in cash and progression points for the new "treasure". Adding the pointless "cardmatch" celebration, I cannot foresee how much rakeback I actually get. It looks like a deception strategy by stars to distract from the worsening conditions playing on stars.

Can someone explain me the rakeback structrure, is it completly arbitrary ?

Anyways, rooting for RUNITONCEPoker to launch soon.

Good luck
