Yesterday i opened two chests and i won two bonuses at the casino for 1 and 5 dollars. Unfortunately, these bonuses are only offered on release points. I don't play there at the casino and it's weird why you get certain bonuses, to games that you don't play in that room. It was normal to offer for the games where i played. How generous is Pokerstars...

Not surprised they have given you awards that are basically useless to you. Apparently, now they are offering even less to those like you who grind there regularly.
The last chest I opened awarded me 9 stars coins and 28 points towards my next chest.
Whoop-de-fakking-doo.
I need 800 pts to open the next chest. Which is why I don't play on pokerstars much anymore. I won't deposit and they no longer have many options to grind a bankroll from zero.
I have a few pennies and some tickets there I can use when I feel the urge.
Still the best software and biggest player pool but I am no longer a regular customer.

They are giving out free chests with free spins inside on the weekends. At least I've got them multiple times in October.

I got one for my games and the second one probably because Pokerstars offered something like that. Sunday i didn't log in, to see if they offer something for free. Anyway, all october weekends i didn't play too much here and i'm not so interested in this kind of bonuses.

Thanks for the heads up. Perhaps I'll try playing on the weekends to see if I get lucky.
They also have a Halloween challenge/promo where you have to collect symbols every day on a spin and on November 1st you might open chests with money for them in exchange... And the Trivia is still going on, that's potential free money by itself in the casinosection.

With the new system I haven't gotten and I won't get any chests , hard for me in to accumulate 800 points in 28 days , especially when rake from tournaments counts less . Also from what I read the prizes are worse , so I don't care much .

I liked Pokerstars more when i playing and earning loyalty points. They had FPP and it was much better. When Amaya group bought this poker room, they started to making moves to the detriment of the players and this thing made the players to leave this room.

Thanks again. Unfortunately, no casino games for Canada.
Oh, sorry I did not remember that. Do you still have the Halloween Challenge or that is restricted to Europe as well?

I don't know why there in Canada it does not exists this promotion, maybe there is something else. Normally you should have good promotions there. I don't know how you get prizes for the games you play. I have often seen that promotions are different for countries but with chests, it had to be for all countries.

I have no challenges available. Could be it's not available in Canada or perhaps I just don't generate enough rake to be eligible for this promo.
Well, it's not like I am their number one customer either - I did not deposited since summer. But it's must be frustrating since they had a real influx of canadian customers since the black friday, and they are really not serving them well with promos...

I dont think that this have something with deposits,because I didnt make deposit there for years,played only some free promotions,freerolls or free spins offers!so this must be only for markets that they choose,which is silly and they should give this kind of promotions to every players,especially to those who make deposits on their accounts!

I don't know what happened in Pokerstars with the players from Canada but i suppose there is something wrong. This poker room should reflect but unfortunately for Stars Group, they will no longer have it the major power for decision now.

I am very disappointed with pokerstars poker software. I'm not interested in these chests but to make money it is very difficult, because they do not give you this chance. Module in which they share the cards it is against you and i'm shocked.

Pokerstars currently has one of the best software on the market and is one of the safest rooms there is. If you investigate seriously, you can verify this information, say things like “… Module in which they share the cards it is against you and i'm shocked….” They are misplaced and unfounded. What we can question with bases is its system of rewards that in a few words is useless.
