Hi all,

I've made an Stars account through PokerStrategy and received Day 1 = 5 x $1 S&G (Spin & Go) tickets. But after that nothing more!

I mailed them after a few days and got a swift reply that an open case was preventing the bonuses to added. They would have to forward this to the marketing security team. I would take 72 hours maximum to give me an answer.

I've since sent them 3 reminder mails and they have not replied anything else in 11 days.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Offer only available to players who have never made a real money deposit and make a first deposit of $20 or more, using bonus code ‘THIRTY’.
The $30 Free Play will be credited daily from deposit date: Day 1 = 5 x $1 S&G (Spin & Go) tickets, Day 2 = 5 x $1 S&G tickets, Day 3 = 5 x $1 S&G tickets, Day 4 = $5 cash bonus, Day 5 =5 x $1 S&G tickets, Day 6 = $5 cash bonus.
We reserve the right to withhold rewards if there is reason to suspect that a deposit is fraudulent, or that it has not been made with the intention of using it to play real money games.
All Spin & Go tickets issued as part of the $30 Free Play promotion expire 21 days from issue.
Any unused tickets issued as part of this promotion will be forfeited.
Tickets cannot be redeemed for cash or any other value, or be transferred.
A withdrawal at any time during the bonus period will leave you ineligible to claim this bonus.

People on the forum here said that PS cares great deal about new customers and that they were sure this would be solved immediately.
Anyone else have experience with this?

A downvote? Is that the pokerstars mod's way of saying that I shouldn't expect an answer here?

There isn’t a Pokerstars mod on the forum so far, I know, but the only way to get this sorted is keeping contact with PokerStars support (support@pokerstars.com). This is a promo of PokerStars.

Cheers,

This indeed sounds weird. I have contacted Stars support a few times and always was happy with how fast they reply. I hope you get this sorted out. Keep us posted :f_thumbsup:

I got my tickets, so if anyone reading this is in the same situation; they take about 3 weeks to give you the tickets, money or answers but insist on writing in their reply that it will take 72hrs. They close all communication channels until they've done their 'audit'.

In my opinion this is really insulting. :f_mad:

That for sure. Hopefully it was a something that not happen often with new members.

Happened to me as well.... deposited over a week ago just got the first day. Have emailed support now 7 times with no response. Not really feeling like I want to stay on this site now. Why advertise a promotion if you’re not going to honour it?

You can also chat with them if you go to 'help' in the PokerStars client if your problem isn't solved yet.

Not seeing that option just keep getting replies that they will respond ASAP 3 weeks later....

That's weird, but maybe you don't know how to find it.
Maybe the screenshot helps you to find the chat:

Well, I am yet to recieve any pokerstrategy points for my playing on pokerstars scoop series. My account is tracked for over 8 years, and now this happens.
In my oppinion they are getting worse by the day. Every freaking oppurtunity where they can cut costs and earn more, they are doing it. In couple of years, party poker will be #1 room in the world imo.

I have the same problem , they give me ticket for 1st day and than simply stopped. Few times live chat support told me that they are busy and i need to wait respond on my e mail. Twice i sent appeal on support@pokerstars.com just what i get is notifications how they will answer. 30+ days gone, no tickets , no answer, simply i feel like i dont exist.
