Hello xxx,

Thank you for contacting PokerStars.

We are sorry if these pop-up announcements are bothersome to you, but unfortunately they cannot be removed.

For most tournament advertisements, you can stop these from appearing at the tables by selecting from the PokerStars Lobby screen:

'Options -> Tournament Announcements -> Block Pop-Up and Chat Announcements'.

However, for special events such as the WCOOP or Milestone Hands, it is considered that this information is important for all members of PokerStars and cannot be blocked.

Again, we apologize if this is inconvenient to you but invite you to join us in the celebration of this very important PokerStars event.

More information about the Road to 100 Billion Milestone Hands promotion, can be found here:

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/promotions/100-billion/

If you have any further questions or require assistance with any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

xxx
PokerStars Support Team

Hey RobertAdams,

Maybe it's something they will look into in the future but at this minute this is the story :(

I agree, they are quite annoying!

Regards,
Gary

Interesting, I play through 2-4 milestones a day and only saw one of these blue, all over the screen announcements yesterday. Altough I mostly play at night when the traffic is low so it might be something to do with that.

Pop-Up and Chat Announcements are blocked for me.

confirmed, my problem was fixed by Stars with the new client of ~26th Nov

turn off milestone pop-ups under Options->Table display options

btw, you cant see the option now because milestone period is finished
