    Default stars players - april 1st bonuses - don't miss them!

    stars have four bonuses available for purchase on april 1st only - they convert at the same dollar/fpp rate as the $4k bonus for 250 000 fpps.
    So, go get them. Cashier -> VIP Store -> April 1st Special (under accessories, top of category list)

    lol at stars making it so that even if recreational micro players or beginners do find these bonuses they can't get them unless they are silver star. Would it really have hurt them to make the top two bronze star and the other two silverstar.

    if you thought about it for a moment you'd realise where the bronze star bonuses would end up eventually and then you might even think that it would be a good idea for bronze stars to get some of those bonuses .

    You don't think stars realize this? It's likely stars makes more rake having the few bronze star players that chase silver star this month to grab these bonuses then they would make just from handing these bonuses out when most bronze stars will not even be able to afford these unless they had higher VIP status in the past.

    you obviously don't understand this bonus . Its a one day only bonus , take it or its gone. Look at this comment on 2+2

    also you need to be Silverstar or better. wtf stars? don't you want the bronzies to get convert those points to cash so they can play more and provide the money to flow up the foodchain?
    also look at tiltingdonkeys response above, its a good way to piss off some of your customers who are typically paying the most rake per fpp they receive and cash them in at the worst possible rates. A one off special deal comes up to get a better rate and they are shut out again.

    They aren't going to grind any extra volume to achieve silver and take the bonus because its not going to be available, what they would do is play with that bonus and typically lose it into the poker pool over time.The net cost to stars of letting a bronzestar take the 500fpp bonus would be 3$ compared to letting them save up for the 2500fpp 25$ bopnus and would have some positive PR value and some would be returned to stars in rake anyway.

    Well if it's a one day thing which I don't remember it being then yeah it's silly on stars part. This doesn't mean your right though.

    Missed this, I'm silver so I'm a little gutted, but it seems the fpp value is no different to online mtt tickets. I spend my points on Sunday Storm tickets etc, costs me 700fpp for an $11 ticket, a game I play most weeks anyway, so I'm not gonna cry about this. I'd be annoyed if I were still bronze and wanted to take advantage, but w/e, get silver instead of moaning, one has to be silver to buy online mtt tickets so what's the difference?
