However, it seems likely that the system will deploy in these markets in the near future. There are a few major exceptions: PokerStars USA markets ( PokerStars NJ, PokerStars MI and PokerStars PA) are excluded PokerStars India and PokerStars Italy too, for now. This is one of the biggest rollouts in PokerStars history-the new program is coming to almost all its jurisdictions around the world. However, for a small percentage of top-tier players, this number could be capped at 10%. It seems that most players will be able to get up to 40% in rakeback by achieving custom targets.

There is a bit of clarity lacking when it comes to Monthly Challenges. Moving forward, all players on silver tier or higher Monthly Challenges, allowing them to earn up to an additional 40% in rakeback. While these were offered in the past as well, they were only available to select players. The second important change to the rewards system has to do with Monthly Challenges. Monthly Poker Challenges Cashback Up to % Points will be awarded across all poker games and stakes as well as other products offered by the operator (casino and sports). There is no randomness as to what prize is stored in each Chest.

Players now have a clear view of what their targets are at any point and the progress bar will make it easy to see how many chests still need to be unlocked to upgrade to the next level. In addition to being more generous, the new system is more transparent. With this, PokerStars will come very close to the golden era several years ago, when high-volume players could get up to 70% rakeback by obtaining the storied Supernova Elite VIP status. This change represents a significant improvement in comparison to the rewards program that was in effect until now and marks a significant shift in the operator’s policy. The new program features rewards that can go up to 65% of all rakeback and tournament fees paid by the players, returned via Chests and Monthly Challenges that will now be open to all players. After the three-month trial period, PokerStars is rolling out its new and improved rewards system for players across almost all markets.
