Default Re: Why do so many people use pokerstars if they don\'t have rakeback?

Thanks to all who answered.

I signed up. I briefly looked at the VIP program. It looks like the points can be used to buy stuff in the pokerstars store and to play in tournaments. No money involved right?

wrong if you're not a super low-stakes or low-volume player.

You can buy cash for points also. And you can use the concierge service which is pretty darned close to cash too.

There are lots of players on Stars who are getting plenty of direct-cash for the points they earn. But if you are only going to earn $20 worth of points a month then you are better off finding something in the store that interests you.

As mentioned, this has been covered in about 8-zillion threads in this very forum.
