Hello there

I first heard of pokerstrategy (nl) some 20 years ago. You guys gave me then 50$ for free on partypoker if i remember correctly. I quicky lost it though, as most do in the beginning of their first poker steps. I started playing more serious shortly after. I joined the 2+2 forum and pokerclub.be and studied up before hitting the tables again. Had a good rakeback deal through pokerclub.be on unibet. But that site/forum doesn't exist anymore i noticed.

8 years later i'm back... Why am i back? Well there is a new toleration policy for non casino poker in Belgium and some friends invited me to play a small 50 euro bounty tournament last week. And guess what i won the damn thing and it got my poker juices flowing again. So I logged in on pokerstars the day after and much to my suprise there was 68,39$ in my bankroll. I had been since 2015 since i had logged in on pokerstars :f_biggrin::f_biggrin: So i wanna give online poker another run for its money. So i'm looking for good promotion deals, tips, a souding board and motivation boost. Is this the place i'm looking for?

Hi H0witzer,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:
Or perhaps it's "welcome back"

congrats on your win!

Be sure to check out the free money offers and bonus offers.
Read the instructions carefully -- they usually apply to rooms where you don't already have an account.

What kind of games do you normally play?
Cash Games? Sit-and-Go? MTTs?
Do you just play Hold'em or do you play any other variants?

If you have any questions, just post them in the Q&A forum.

All the best,
VS

I only play NL Hold'em. Online i mostly play cashgames (5NL atm). Live i rather play tournaments.
On sunday when i have alot of time i will try to play the GTD mtts on PS.

I have already a account on pokerstars and unibet so i don't comply for the promotions. Is that right?

Not those ones anyway — but there may be others that you would be able to utilize

Pretty sure Belgians are allowed promotions due to your lovely government (if I remember correctly they were one of the first European countries to bring in strict regulations!

Welcome back!

At the moment there are 195 countries in the world, all of whom have governments that suck in one way or another.

I'm sure that that isn't comforting...

My profile is still at level basic. So I can't post hands (external links) in my blog at the moment.

I enrolled in the The Bankroll Challenge
Opened my blog
Got 14 posts
Read some strategy, did some quizes
Linked my pokerstars account, played 5k hands last 5 days

Can i do something else to speed it up to level bronze? :milord:

Check out the bonus offers and the free money offers. If one of them works for you (and even if not) if you sign up to a new room using one of the PokerStrategy.com codes you're instantly bronze.
See: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/partners/

If none of those work — you can purchase points here: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/buy-points/
If you decide to buy points, the earlier in the month you purchase them, the better, since the newly acquired status lasts until the end of the next month.
Once you have been at a higher status, when it is done you revert to bronze, and will never again fall below that.

Cheers,
VS

I am not eligible for the promotional deals because I already have an existing account on unibet and pokerstars. I prefer not to purchase points.

What else can i do?

I don't actually know.
I suggest that you create a customer support ticket Follow the link then click the beside "Open a new ticket"
Give them all the details you can, such as your username, the date when you joined and so on.
They may have some suggestions I'm not aware of.

I forgot about Neteller and Skrill
I know that there is a way to use those payment tools to get points — however I cannot use either so I keep forgetting about them.
