PokerStars is preparing for a year of bonuses in 2013 with a revamped loyalty system that will make it easier for players to earn extra cash.
The first significant change is the implementation of a Chrome Level which will sit between the current Bronze and Silver status marks.Requiring 100 player points and holding the same benefits as Bronze - with the addition of entry into a weekly $5,000 freeroll and access to the $100,000 Privilege Freerolls - the new level is designed to help players maintain their bonus rewards for longer. In addition to this the points requirements for Silver and Gold have dropped to 500 (from 750) and 2,500 (from 3,000), respectively. These changes will certainly please those who count on VIP rewards to provide timely bankrolls boosts through tough times. The final change PokerStars has made is the creation of a checkpoint system. At the start of the year players set goals they’d like to achieve: 100k points, 200k points or 300k points. They then work towards these and if they maintain on course – or exceed the requirements – during the year they will earn an as yet undisclosed bonus for their efforts.All in all the changes look to be positive for the players and something that should help increase the extra money you can earn at PokerStars’ virtual felt.New players can earn a 100% bonus up to $500 on their first deposit at PokerStars.
