I agree Amaya corporation took away a lot of high value free rolls based on how many points you earned a month. The good old days for players are long gone.

... < ...$100 prize pool to share amongst 117 positions out of 10,000 players...??? Really...?
... < ...That just exemplifies what greedy f'n garbage PokerStars has become...!
... < ...I am ashamed that that company (the biggest and most known of them all) chose to make Canada home to its head office...!
... < ...They need to leave Canada and move to some corrupt dictatorship like Belarus or somewhere like that...
... < ...Throw the peasants a few crumbs...!
You are right demodawggy pokerstars are playing with their players but not in the good way, they do it in the bad mode. The reward system is a naughty one. Their decisions are bad and if they will leave Canada should move to Romania because in my country is one of the most corrupt in the world. Pokerstars must be punished.
I tried yesterday to play in this freeroll .... did the registration and was doing other things .... when it came time for the tournament I was a bit shocked by the number of players .... it became clear to me that getting some kind of prize there is almost impossible .... put everything ... lost ... and forgot

... < ...I'll tell ya what those weasels at DouchebagStars are up to...
... < ...My account at DouchebagStars is in U.S. dollars... I deposit there using InstaDebit... My Insta account is in US dollars... For years I deposited to DouchebagStars in U.S. dollars...
... < ...They NOW require that deposits from Canada are in Canadian dollars...
... < ...WTF...???
... < ...I will NOT do that...
... < ....What they are up to is making a profit from converting any Canadian deposits in Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars...
... < They dangle some crap deposit bonus or prize to con you into depositing so they can make 2 or 3 percent profit from your deposit...
... < ....I have no choice about it.....other than to never deposit there again....which I haven't and NEVER will...
.... < ....Bunch of greedy f'n weasels they are....

For many years the pokerstars or anothers poker rooms works with several kinds of money. They always win from these fluctuations because their employees are playing with these numbers so they do not get lost. 888poker is expert in stealing almost daily cents from player accounts. Normally if they deposit only dollars they would not have to do that anymore but they do this and it's not normal.

And they gave you the option to play casino, sportsbets and lots of other shite nobody needs really in a poker client. Obviously they do not care about their customer base, which consists mainly low rollers and cheapskates.

Hello, Don't know about that, last night i played a freeroll with $100.000 prize pool + $30.000 in a "milestone hand", it was called "Christmas Freeroll" with $20 for everyone at the table, 167 tables selected from 200+. I was lucky to be on 1 of those 167 tables selected. Plus there were only 2903 players registered, with 755 places paid, 755th place got $44, and 1st place got $10.000. I didn't got deep as i wanted, but i managed to get 300+ place and $77.14, for a total of $97.14. A good boost for my bankroll since i had like $1.25 in my account. The requirement was to finish 10 out of 24 Christmas Challenges, i finished like 19-20 of them. They were easy. Any else from bankrollmob played that?

Have a nice day / night and GL
I finished a few daily missions but i did not have the right to participate in this Christmas freeroll offered by the poker room Pokerstars. Maybe i had to be more careful but honestly i did not like enough missions. Anyway, i have not deposited money there for 5-6 years. I do not have any pleasure to spend in pokerstars. I had this money to play from freeroll games.
merry christmas
