PokerStars unveils its new rakeback system PokerStars Rewards
In the middle of summer, the top poker room PokerStars began testing its updated loyalty program.
Some PokerStars regulars were invited to participate in the trial. For several months, they tested the new rakeback system, sharing their experience with the Stars team.
And starting from October 1, the updated rakeback PokerStars Rewards is available to all players.

Speaking of the new loyalty program, poker players have the opportunity to receive rakeback up to 65%. This will include nominal rakeback from chests, as well as rakeback for completing monthly missions.
The new rakeback system is as follows:
| Chest | Payout | Rakeback % | Rakeback in monthly tasks | Rakeback points | Required number of chests to level up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | $0.50 | 15% | 40% | 333/$3.33 | 5 |
| Bronze | $1.50 | 16% | 40% | 935/$9.35 | 5 |
| Silver | $5 | 17.15% | 40% | 2 850/$28.50 | 7 |
| Gold | $20 | 18.5% | 40% | 10 800/$108 | 7 |
| Diamond | $75 | 20% | 40% | 37 500/$375 | 10 |
| Black | $250 | 25% | 40% | 100 000/$1 000 | ∞ |
It should be noted that rakeback points will be awarded in the same way, applied to all game formats presented by PokerStars (including casino and sports betting). Rewards from the chests became fixed as well.
In general, players reacted positively to the updates, because rakeback at PokerStars has left much to be desired in recent years. This is how the team behind Stars is trying to restore its reputation with poker regulars. Greece and the Czech Republic are the only countries where the new loyalty program is not available due to domestic legislation.
