Not sure it's worth celebrating something where you were the last one in the line to implement it, but this promo is just another way 4 Amaya to lure more penny pinchers into this. I guess they will succeed.

wow i am absolutely thrilled and taken by surprise by the scope of this promotion, it is surely one of the biggest promotion in the last... 24 hours or so. a million for only 50 cents you say... naah that's totally uncool- you actually have to have those 50 cents in the first place, which in reality is hardly possible for majority of players who share my level of expertise,

Exactly. They celebrate something meaningless every other day. It's getting ridiculous.

I agree that with the amount of promotions that stars are doing when they say you can win a million it just seems pretty standard now.Players start to take big promotions for granted now.
Players SHOULD take promotions for granted. I would expect better promotions to be honest. Stars could afford to charge less rake than they do but they never will. So giving back some money to the players via promotions definetly is a good thing. But they're mostly doing these promotions to get new money on the site, to get people to deposit.
Some smaller sites actually offer better promotions. I really don't know why stars is considered the best poker room. The main argument is because of the very large fields in MTTs.
I still don't get why nobody tries to compete with stars by lowering rake to like 5-8%. Even in home games they charge 10%... It's kinda sad. But why change a formula that works...

Three days of winning a 0.50c ticket to another spin n go. I suppose I shouldn't complain. I'm up overall by a few dollars but each time I get a spin n go it stops on the $1 spinner section...if you play on mobile it decides what you are playing for before the spinner spins! Me thinks the spinner is a distraction from a predetermined prize!
