PokerStars Tests New Loyalty Program with Up to 65% Rakeback

PokerStars, once the unchallenged leader in the online poker world, has announced it is testing a new loyalty program that could return up to 65% rakeback to players. This significant change comes after PokerStars recently lost its top traffic position to GGpoker, marking a shift in the online poker landscape.

PokerStars has long been known for hosting major tournament series and high-stakes games, attracting both professional players and casual enthusiasts. However, the room's approach has evolved over the years, shifting from supporting professional poker to focusing more on casual players. This change has included reducing rakeback to just a few percent and limiting the number of tables players can join simultaneously.

In response to these changes and the loss of traffic to GGpoker, PokerStars is testing a new loyalty program. The new program aims to return up to 65% rakeback to players, a significant increase from the current rates. This move is part of PokerStars' efforts to regain its position as the top poker room and attract more players back to its platform.
