You should teach Poker Stars a lesson by boycotting them, they may go crazy at the thought of you not playing there and start offering freerolls.

I hope I will punish them, but you know how - I will enter the SM finals and get so much money that I don't have to make a deposit for a long time and then they can be sad because they will feel defeated and I recommend it to all my friends!

You do realize there is more to poker than CC freeroll games... don't you?
What does 'enjoying the CC community' have to do with one choosing to continuing to play poker on Pokerstars? Should the huge rake paying CC community boycott Pokerstars now that there's no CC freerolls on there? (I don't understand)

I'm not knocking the CC freeroll games but I can't imagine why anyone would choose to limit themselves to playing in ONLY the CC freeroll games.
Yes the cc community should boycott pokerstars because pokerstars boycotted cc games in it site. Which led to cc having to replay as an alternative, which reduced the prizes we used to get from pokerstars 100 daily to 60 daily games. If it were not so, im sure the decline was not going to be as concerning as it is now. Its better to pay rake to a site which gives back to the community through freerolls so we keep on depositing as @luckyfish98 had said.

Since you have built a decent bankroll you are not affected by these, but once you run broke you will understand how we feel. Its a foolish move that pokerstars had taken.

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.
You only say that because it gives you free tournaments. I don't know which leader you are referring to. In gg there is a traffic of 340 thousand people, it is the only leader. companies did not create their business to give you free money

The free poker star tournaments were moved to the home games, they have an exclusive section for these tournaments where many of the extreamers on the purple platform have their own home games and very few register since they are private tournaments only for followers not long ago in The official social network

U Sound like u had some kind of lifetime contract with them which guarantees u free stuff 😭 😅

Yes it sucks but it's up to them what they do with their site and apparently, given all the opinions and attitudes here since those freerolls ended, it was probably the correct decision (and I don't like to say that).

If everyone would use freerolls to build and then play on the site I'm sure they would have not ended those but the reality is different.

If u run completely broke and u need freerolls to survive or as an income irl u should consider doing something else. That's of course just my opinion.

PokerStars was never great for freerolls but they've really trashed the site in recent years. It was much better when they gave you Frequent Player Points. They shelved these literally overnight.

The big difference between 888 and Stars speak volumes: In average 888 has 350 cash game players. Stars has 55.500. Most tables on 888 are empty or half empty. The exact numbers can be viewed at pokerscout.com.
Withdrawing funds from Stars is fast and easy.

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!!!
Of course, yes, PokerStars is first and foremost a business, and a business has to make a profit. The profit of such a business as PokerStars is the money that will be deposited by customers, that is, poker players. And I'll tell you a secret, all poker sites are designed for this, even the free site Replay :)
