No more Supernova Elite since months, but now no more Supernova, PlatinumStar, GoldStar and so on. No more stars, but chests instead. I'm trying to understand this very new changes on Pokerstars.IT.
Long story short, rakeback will be more randomized.
I see rake is still the same amount at the cash / zoom table, about 5.5%.
Before
With the old VIP system every regular could calculate his average VPP per hand (1 EUR of rake = 8 VPP) and the monthly rakeback give a known volume of hands at his own stake(s). Then there was a little extra from promotions like cardmatch and others (nothing serious).
A SilverStar was taking about 11-12% rakeback, GoldStar 15-16%, PlatinumStar 18-20%, and Supernova 28%.
To get exact amount with the old Steps, you could make a table like this:
Now
I still don't get the exact amount of Reward Point per rake / VPP. The PS website still has old information.
I played about 2200 hands this night, making about 83 VPP.
I unlocked 5 chests with this numbers, but the reward inside each chest is randomized. So, how much rakeback today?
100 StarsCoin = 1 EUR rakeback, 8 VPP = 1 EUR rake
I was GoldStar, so 24% is really not bad for me, but maybe it's luck, let's see how it goes!
I could update this post during the week or make a new one at the end of the month.
