Default Re: Stars VIP Wild speculation

[ QUOTE ]
That's my view as well but a lot of the ideas don't violate that principle and most are looking for win-win.

Also rejigging the high volume bonuses whilst paying out the same amount shouldn't matter to the low volume players at all.

but its why I'm not sure the freerolls should be abolished even though they have little value to me. They should be kept if they attract/encourage new players - don't know if they do.

The freerolls were basically the basis for my comment. I don't play them regularly, and I don't really care to. However, if they're keeping lower-volume, and presumably lower-skilled, when viewing the group as a whole, VIPs happy, then I am all for them.

For the same reasons, I would be fine with something like the proposed lottery (Fish love lottos), or something similar to that (The showdown tournament idea was pretty intriguing)

Fixing up the incentives to keep people playing between 500k and 1m VPPs seems like a no-brainer as well. It's probably wise for Stars to make the last bonus somewhere in the range of 750k-800k VPP range though, for reasons previously stated in this thread.

The VIP program doesn't need an overhaul, it just needs some fine-tuning
