It is great to see that they have fetched this tournament back. I have watched this many times on the television over the years and have dreamed about being lucky enough to play in it

Amaya Group does a good job if it sends many players to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in 2018. I have already said here in The BankrollMob that these poker rooms should make many satellites with reasonable buy-ins and in this way many players will have the chance to play live tournaments and to travel in wonderful places like Caribbean, Vegas etc...
after Starz lost leadership among poker rooms they are ready to go to many actions to restore the leading position ... so I'm not at all surprised by this event ... it seems to me that we still have a lot of action on the part of Stars to regain their popularity and leadership. .. wait for this

Lots of ways to get a ticket for that tournament, and you can start from very low. They needed something good to keep their customers lately. Many are complaining lately. Lets see if they will get any returns, with this addition.

if amaya group thinks right for players and will make many satellites tournaments for a lot of online regular tournaments and live they will gain much appreciation. The condition of those satellites must to be with many qualifications. Then many players will go live in tournaments and vacations or big online tournaments.

wow so many options to qualify for poker caribbean adventure, six options, to be honest I cannot make up my mind what option to pick, my mind is overloaded and I think that the best option for me would be to wait until next tourney, maybe there will be less options next time.

It has been a while since “Amaya Inc.” renamed itself “The Stars Group Inc.” I wonder if there has been a significant change with regard to their marketing strategy. I haven't played on PokerStars since they removed Neteller as a payment option for players residing in Japan. Now I need to initiate international wire transfer in order to deposit and withdraw, which is an absolute pain in the arse.

maybe after they lost leadership among the poker rooms they will start doing something for the players ..... when you have the most popular poker room in the world, people relax and just calculate the profit .... the situation has changed and maybe in a short time Stars will go for some compromises and bonuses

Have they lost the leadership? Maybe party poker got the title for this year. But how about the number of poker players. They have still have the lead when it comes to that. But indeed they are not doing as good as they used to, in the past.

Pokerstars has lost many players in recent years. This situation is bad because of the amaya group. They made the wrong decisions and players left the poker room. 2011 they had almost 2 million now in 2017 1.103.972 is huge for seven years. Players no longer trust, they feel robbed.

Very nice pochui hahaha. You want to get free of Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure. I say it's good with a few dollars. Play satellite, qualify and you will enjoy a vacation. If you also earn money in the tournament where you qualified is even better. Good luck men with that.

The Stars Group logged a larger quarterly profit. It seems that the increase in profit was mainly driven by the implementation of the Stars Rewards loyalty program, according to the article below. I guess most players (especially mid to high stakes players) receive less reward than they feel they are entitled to.

It is a company that has the meas and personnel to make a profit after all. They wouldnt be doing all these changes, if they were "gambling" on their profit. They can afford to pay professionals, eliminating the risk of losses, with all the changes they are doing. And if something goes wrong they can fast and easily revert it.

Pokerstars and amaya group can come back to top if they suffer losses of the players but not when they make some changes and players will get too upset. These satellites can cause a multitude of players who will fight for qualifying for major tournaments but let's not forget pokerstars can suffer severely if they continue with the wrong things.
