Rakeback

Hi NilsEB,
Well, generally the answer is yes -- but it is through the rewards system, and if I remember correctly that isn't working for you.
(If I'm wrong, let me know).

If you signed up to PokerStars through PokerStrategy.com you'll also get strategy points, but they don't convert to $

My PokerStars account is not linked to anyone and they give me a "challenge" for $10. The challenge is that I have to basically pay $25 rake. So that's 40% rakeback... On top of that the chests are worth somewhere between 5% and 10%.

If you are putting a ton of volume and playing bigger stakes, maybe they will give you a harder challenge - $40 for $100 rake paid or $100 for $250 paid. Their goal is to make it very very very difficult for you to complete the challenge, but not impossible, based on how much you play and what stakes and games.

That for sure, but if you play the lowest games you need to play a lot to rake at least $25 in less than a month, but it's possible for sure. Offcourse it's better to go for quality than for quantity.

I think that NilsEB is encountering problems because he is in Sweden.
I haven't been able to find out what the rules are in Sweden.
(mostly because I keep forgetting to ask PokerStars )
