The Pokerstars website is designed for cash deposits

[luckyfish98]

This is because there is no longer any free tournament where you can get real money even for a few cents (there used to be the good cardschat tournament)
For example, 888pokers offers several tournaments every day where you can get real money from freerolls

Although to be honest, real cents in 888 poker are not as valuable as if I had such cents in a pokerstars account

The conclusion is that pokerstars forces its players to deposit more money than, for example, 888 Poker

I think that many people are annoyed by additional cash contributions, when instead they can work well with cents and grow

of course there is an alternative to win money from freeroll 888 poker at least $10 and credit it to your pokerstars account
because I need cents in my pokerstars account, I know how to get into the Sunday Million with them!!!

absolutely right, it is always a hard life for small fishes, like us, holding a micro bank roll !
Good Luck

I understand, but for those who want to take poker more seriously, they don't care about freerolls or cents.

PokerStars is gradually declining, and this process is only progressing every year. I've been playing at 888 for a long time now and I've had pretty good results. As for me, 888 is really the leader today.

poker sites are businesses, and typically businesses want to make money (profits). No one is "forced" to deposit at any site. That is up to the consumer whether or not they will deposit on a site. If you don't like what is on offer you can always go to another site that fits your needs or expectations better.

Title is misleading.

Once upon a time some people came up with an idea to start up an online poker site. It would be a place where people from all over the World could play poker from the convenience of their livingrooms. How amazing is that!?!?!?!

A LOT of money was needed to get these businesses off the ground with advertising being one of the main expenses (MILLIONS of dollars in advertising). Lots of other expenses involved.

Customers were thrilled to be able to play on these sites and the sites began to flourish. There were more & more sites and business was BOOMING!
Move ahead 10years, USA was no longer allowed to play on the big sites with players from the rest of the World. (today I'm sure that MANY of them would be THRILLED to even just be able to Deposit money to a site like Pokerstars and to be able to play on there vs. Rest of the World player pool).

Today it is harder to win at online poker but it is possible IF a person is willing to put in the work. I personally am still THRILLED to be able to play on many sites from the comfort of my livingroom and with modern technology it has become even easier to deposit and withdrawal at most of the sites. How awesome is that?!?!?!?
Right after I hit the '<- POST REPLY' button, I'm going to open up 4 tables of 'Rush & Cash' on GGPoker and I'll play for as long as I feel like. I won't be playing the $1/$2 tables but that's okay, I don't particularly want to play those stakes at that style of game. But I will be able to play 25nl tables (or 10nl if I start feeling tired) because I've practiced solid bankroll management. I don't put all of my marbles in one basket in an effort to play in the Sunday Million... I don't waste dozens of hours playing terrible odds satellite penny freerolls in hopes of landing a 1,000-to-1 longshot step satellite ticket... I don't play for countless mind-numbing, skill-less tables with a dream of winning 1 mirrion one day soon. I play because I LOVE TO PLAY POKER!

I love this game! And I am grateful there are sites that I can deposit money to and then play poker right from my home. It is amazing!!! What a great opportunity for any who wish to take advantage of it. And on top of this (as if this isn't great enough already), if a person wants to put in more time & effort, they can actually win money at this and if they choose to put in a lot of work, they can make a comfortable living at it.

 

[Poker Orifice]

This is because

This is because if a person hopes to play poker, they'll need to be able to deposit money so they can play in the games.

I forgot to mention in my last post, another thing I'm going to do right after I press the '<-- POST REPLY' button is >>> I'm going to open up Pokerstars and play a few hands on there too. And I'll pick up another free $0.50 ticket while doing so. I'll turn it into a $1.50 (or $1) and add it to the collection (I think I have close to 30 of those $1.50 tickets). And then later this week I'll try to use up some of those 'free tickets' while playing in other 'buy-in' games and maybe I'll win an $11 ticket and then maybe more?

 

[eberetta1]

Yes, us Americans would love to be able to play real money games at Pokerstars. And it wouldn't even be a problem. I would just take some of my winnings from poker sites that currently allow me on their site and deposit when Pokerstars does allow U.S. players to deposit and play real money games.

it's all good what you said, but I think that MANY would like pokerstars to offer a free tournament every day at least $200 guaranteed with the chance to win real money and not just bloody tickets

that's my main idea and it's not hard to do and it wouldn't bankrupt any poker site or it's so hard to understand - ONLY ONE REAL MONEY FREEROLL a day

of course we will deposit money on the pokerstars website as we have always done - but I want the poker website to make some kind of promise in return for us with a favorable gesture with, for example, a $200 guaranteed freeroll every day

it would be a nice cooperation for us on those days when I don't have my own money to contribute

 

[luckyfish98]

888 poker site is not designed for cash deposit as it is full of freerolls

but for the pokerstars website we ask for ONLY ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and we shall achieve it by good or by force !

888 and partypoker are really good for freerolls!!

 

[Stringy]

I agree, even the way the spin of the day works has changed, used to get a lot more free spins. And the Satallites games are very tricky to get into tickets without rebuying

I have managed to get without a rebuy, but that's about 1 out of 100 times

that's why I need those cents and that's why I'm asking for a freeroll with real money prizes because not everyone is a millionaire who can afford to deposit every day

you can always look for excuses and reservations, like if you don't like something, you can go somewhere else

but that's not the story - I like pokerstars and I want to make it better, which is not easy, but much better and braver than walking away or giving up

How about a 'Depositor's Freeroll'?

I would love to be able to make a deposit and play real money games at PokerStars again. Unfortunately, that's not possible for me in the US.

You just won $25 the other day. Why not take that $25 & deposit on Pokerstars and then play a bunch of $0.50 & $1.00 mtt's? (instead of bingo satellites to the SunMillion).
Put the effort into getting better at the game and you won't need to look for freerolls.

 

[Vallet]

PokerStars has changed a lot lately. And it doesn't seem to be for the better. He is no longer the same as I remember him many years ago.

They do!
They give you all of these tournaments to play at $2 & under.

They give you a safe site to play on!

They give you a smooth-running, very functional site to play a variety of games on (not just NLHE like many other sites)!

They give you some easy Deposit & Withdrawal methods.

THey hold some great tournament series.

How amazing is this!?!?!??!

You make some solid points throughout the thread, however, I'm very confused as to why you keep trying to engage with a poster who clearly just spouts a load of nonsense 100% of the time and never seems to take in and process information that has been provided back to them...

I do not understand this statement of yours. How can the same cents have different values on different sites? When you withdraw money, is it better to withdraw it to PokerStars, because 888 has a big commission?

I guess for others who might be new & so that they don't follow this same line of thinking.
You make a great point though. I actually had them on 'ignore' previously. Seems like I'm headed that way with them again.

the cents earned on the 888 poker website are shit because there is nothing to do with them, that's why 888poker is already full of freerolls, but you can work well with cents at pokerstars - why don't you agree, how long will I have to explain

that's not enough for me because to play the micro stakes tournaments you offer I have to be tempted first
