“We’re excited to bring our new PokerStars Rewards program to our community in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan and give players more than ever before for playing with us,” said Rebecca McAdam of PokerStars public relations. “We’ve been working hard to give our players the best program and from listening to community feedback, we know that value and transparency are key, so we’re very happy to launch a program that has truly been built with this at its heart.”
The new reward system is easier to understand and allows for players to gain more value. This includes:
- Progress bars to show upgrades to next levels
- Chest levels with fixed rewards
- Rewards starting at 15% up to 33% bonus back
- Bonuses earned through cash, tournament and spin & go buy-ins
The SCOOP series along with the new rewards system will be available in New Jersey and Michigan as well, though tournament details and guarantees vary by state.
