Pokerstars Rewards

[thinair]

You earn chests at different levels.
Level 1 earn 333 points value 50c
Level 2 earn 1000 points value 1,5 USD
Level 3 earm 3333 points value 5 USD

A progress bar keep track of your points, and when the progress bar expires, the earned points are lost.

It is a total linear reward system, and there are no advantages for the players being on a higher level.

But there is a disadvantage!!
If you reach a higher level because you play more for a short period, then you are forced to play the same amount for the future periods to obtain your future chests.
Otherwise you loose your points.
You can't ask to downgrade to a lower level if you feel your level is too high.
You have to wait 2 months for the progress bar to time out.

That is a wierd reward system!

I don't see an advantage for the players.

I asked PS, and they blamed the danish gaming authorities strange way it works.

Can that be true? How does PS rewardsystem work in other countries?

It's possible it's different in Denmark. In UK and I believe most other countries the points required for each chest are different such that the reward is slightly greater as you move up chest level. Also when you reach the third level you normally get extra rakeback offers at 10% or 40% subject to paying a certain (large) amount of rake.

Kindly verify if available for you but you can actually downgrade to a lower level with the exchange option available whence u click on chest next to thee avatar.

That makes more sense. do you also have a progress timer and loose earned points when the timer expires without earning a chest??

I asked PS why the exchange function does not work, and they replied the function is not available for Danish players

Yes, you need to complete it within 28days or lose progress, though you can get chest of lower level if you would have enough points for that

I read about the function, and asked PS why it did not work. They replied that the function was not supported for Danish players

That would work for me if I could get a chest of lower value in stead of just loosing the earned points, but Danish players just loose their points
