3 Gripes About PokerStars

[MicroBob]

Agree with 1. This has always bugged me.
Brag about the 'free' money they are giving away. But it's not really 'free'.

A freeroll is what they do in those 'hubble' things.
A 100 FPP tournament is a 100 FPP tournament.

Notice that under the tourney if you are on the 'freeroll' tab there are no FPP tournaments listed.
So they do know the difference. FPP tourneys are under their own seperate tab.

So stop calling them freerolls.



2 - I'm not as upset by this and I'm not sure I agree with CC. But I do think they need to make the language a little bit clearer.
They throw it in at the fine-print a little later that you need to play 10k VPP's or whatever to clear the reward.
You aren't buying 'money for points'.
I think you are actually 'purchasing a bonus'.

It shouldn't say '$1500 for 100k points' as the item because that's not really what it is.
It should say '$1500 for 100k points with 10k VPP play-through requirement' or something like that.


3 - We've been around the block a zillion times about the VIP-freerolls.
I'm not thrilled with them either but this is how they do them.
I'm missing some value if I don't show up for them. But I feel like I'm getting way more value now out of the milestone stuff. So I'm not too horribly concerned about it.
And to get full value for the freerolls I don't have to sit there for several hours to cash for $11 in the gold and $3 in the silver or whatever.


Not sure what CC is talking about regarding playing through 10k players two times though. Those aren't the VIP tourneys.
