In my opinion their challenges give us players no chance to win anything. It is only interesting if you are a high roller and play day for day at tables with high rakes, then you get rewards which are nicer.
They also changed their rewards program, personally i think this steps from the lowest level up to the next won´t be taken by the regular micro stakes players.

This was one of the reasons I stopped chasing Throwables on PokerStars, Besides the fact some were really Childish I found they were enticing you to play games I never normally played and would lose quite a bit just to throw some Idiotic Pile of Poo or other such things.
Remember they are not giving them away if you have to gamble to earn them.

Their best casino promotions were around Christmas. This stuff now is just sad.

If you dont like a promotion, then dont take part of it. Whining and complaining in a forum wont make the promotion any better ;)

Give slot machines a miss! Haven't played on PokerStars for a few weeks. Doing okay on Party Poker at the moment; taken off quite a bit but when my current bankroll is gone, that's my lot for the year.

All I get now are casino challenges or poker challenges but no sportsbetting challenges and a year ago that is almost all I got. Does anyone get any sportsbetting challenges anymore?

It should be available to anyone . It's instead of the 3 weekend chests where you got 5 freespins..
If you don't have it , it's probably not because of missing rake but legal reasons

these promotions are made for people who play at the casino all the time and, in addition to the fact that they already play at the casino, they have the opportunity to earn $5, which is always nice because you don't play at the casino, it seems terrible to you, but for people who play at casinos they are a little pleased. I don't play at the casino myself, so I don't participate in such promotions

Last year maybe 50 a week but since I almost stopped completely playing at Stars , maybe 20 a month now exlusively for casino.

( and IMO the GGCasino is far superior and won 5 figures in three month xD once even 5k with one 10€ Bet 😅😅)

Well depending whether this instant bonus has (some) wagering requirement (or not) it is probably quite clear what they think of customers ...

The instant bonus can be great and is easily won.
But the way to get there is obviously not profitable.
I stick to the seven seas bounty 5€ bonus on thursdays and the 5€ weekend bonus in the chest in friday.

That's not the point though. Of course you might get lucky and win something, but how many people would win in your opinion?

Pokerstars has become a room for high rollers. And those who play at low limits are simply wasting time... It’s very sad, before Pokerstars was good for everyone.

This thread is about a casino promotion. If you are a poker player (and this is after all a poker forum), then why do you even care about, what is going on in the casino section? I have never played casino games on any gambling site, nor do I intend to ever do it.

I very seldom play a few hands of blackjack. I can say I'm not a casino player, but I still had that promotion or challenge whatever they want to call it.
And what @gravii2011 said is true. Recently, PS increased the rake mostly in the lower stakes making it harder for "small" buy-in players.

It seems to me that PokerStars marketers live in their own imaginary world. All these promotions of theirs are just the bottom, no wonder this site is steadily and regularly losing customers.

Totatally agree man. PS used to be the best of all poker sites. If it wasn't for the diversity and the quantity of the tournaments they are still offering, I think no one would play there anymore. As to their reward program and their rake, they became the worst I've ever seen.
