Cash games challenges and leaderboards

I got the Card Hunt... not as good as the previous but better than nothing...

Cardex challenge dissapeared couple of days ago and today is replaces by Card Hunt

This appeared for me last night. Unfortunately, it requires NL 25 or above.
In the course of completing my first card, I dropped about 20 bux. I could have avoided it by taking a cash-out on the turn with the nut straight vs a set, but lost to a full house on the river. I did complete it though, and got $5.00 — representing about 40% rakeback.

That is interesting. For me, i could do it with nl5

I'll check tomorrow — at the moment I cannot see the requirements because the board is complete. The T&C don't specify minimum stakes

For me it is clearly NL 25 or higher

nl25 I have the same my frend. Played from Poland.

How weird, I also have a limit but it is at NL10... maybe it's linked to the type of chest you currently have (mine is silver)?

Good call.
Mine is currently gold, and I'm required to play NL 25.
The only problem is that I have to play hold'em, which I don't play usually.

Mine is gold as well.

It is probably based on cash games playing history. What stakes someone has played most and then maybe one stake higher for Cardhunt.

Interesting.
I realized today that this promo might not be the best for encouraging people to play.
Most promos function to get players to play more, but over the past few days I realized that I'm actually playing less.
More hold'em, for sure, but mostly I had been playing PL 5-Card Omaha hi/lo, NL 5-Card draw, then stud and razz at various stakes.
I usually just played for a couple of hours, but I've been playing until the 20 cards had been found, then stopping — about 300 hands usually.

Is this still available for your guys?

Was not in my Challenges section today

Card Hunt was gone for me also, I checked yesterday.
The only leaderboards are for spin&go

A new challenge popped up today — unfortunately, not a cash game challenge.

From: https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/promotions/spin-around-the-world/
Terms and Conditions:
 This promotion is available to selected players only.
 This promotion runs from June 15-June 30.
 Each daily Challenge starts at 00:00 ET and expires at 23:59 ET, except the Challenge on Day 1 of the promotion which starts at 10:00 ET.
 You only need to opt-in once throughout the duration of the promotion. Any Spin & Go tournaments played prior to opting in will not count towards your progress.
 Challenges can be completed simultaneously and can be completed in any order.
 Players can complete the Challenge once each day.
 You will receive your reward once you have completed all six pieces in a day.
 Rewards will be awarded immediately upon completion of the Challenge.
 Spin & Go tickets will expire seven days after being issued.
 Minimum buy-in levels and Challenges will be displayed in your Challenges Window. These will be determined by your previous gameplay.
 Spin Around the World Challenges can only be completed by playing real money Spin & Go tournaments. Other game variants, hands played at Play Money tables, Sit & Go tournaments, scheduled tournaments, Spin & Go Max tournaments, or any other tournament format, are not eligible.

Some clarification:
This promo runs Jan 10 to Jan 31 2024 — I'm guessing that they are recycling a previous promo
The six pieces mentioned are earned in the following manner:
It is unclear if the challenges are the same each day, or whether they have the same names.
 Play 1 Spin&Go with a 4x multiplier (France)
 Play 6 Spin&Gos with a 2x multiplier (Germany)
 Play 4 Spin&Gos (Italy)
 Play 8 Spin&Gos (Spain)
 Play 3 Spin&Gos in a row with a 2x multiplier (India)
 Win 3 Spin&Gos (Belgium)

The minimum required is to play 8 Spingos — this could drag on pretty much forever if you don't win 3 or you don't get 3 2x in a row, or don't ever see a 4x.
A $5 (required min buy-in for myself) yields $0.40 rake, and I need to average $4.00 per day to make my chest in 28 days, or $8.00 to get my 40% rakeback.
On completion, you have an 80% chance of getting a single $5.00 ticket, which assuming you complete in 8 games or less is 156% rakeback.
There is also
a 25% chance of $10 cash
a 2% chance of $25 cash
a 0.01% chance of $5000 cash.

I'm going to play at least one day to completion. Best of luck if you're in as well.
See the results on my Mind Games: My blog.

Makes sense, as the Spin&Go leaderboard just ended. Too bad they didn't replace a cash games promo, when the cash games leaderbaord ended

Since I hadn't played Spingos much I hadn't noticed.
It would really be nice if cash game promos could be completed using games other than hold'em and omaha. 5-Card Omaha Hi/Lo would be my favourite, followed by Stud Hi/Lo

Did you guys all get the Golden Button Challenge? Although not as good as the leaderboard challenge, its always good to have a challenge that increases traffic and fishies on the zoom tables

Where did you find it? I played zoom today and didn't notice anything unusual. In the challenges tab I have only the classic weekly challenge

Yes, I have it too. This challenge has no everybody what I hear.

I got it also. Have to win with aces to collect stamps. PLO not counted and I play only PLO:f_mad:
