[Closed] I don't think im alone on this

No...you're not alone.

There is no other way. You have to play on a tracked account to earn the points.

If you don't have an account on FullTilt you could try that site. I like it. Or if you do have an account there PartyPoker improved their software a lot recently so you could also give Party a shot.

You could always register an account at pokerstars in your parents/friends or siblings name...riskey though....

Hello RavForenzo,

Of course you are not alone in this, as there are plenty of users with untracked PokerStars accounts that would like to play tracked. Some of them are even Supernova Elite there and would easily be Black Members if they were tracked. Nonetheless it is not a decision that we as PokerStrategy.com can make - as we have tried to press the topic with PokerStars several times.

It is wrong to say that you are absolutely tied to Mansion for your StrategyPoints though. We have 13 other partner rooms aside from PokerStars & Mansion which you can play at in order to earn StrategyPoints; http://www.pokerstrategy.com/online-poker-rooms/

So while you might also have untracked accounts at some or many of these; we are always working on providing our members many different options at which to play. Depending on the limits and formats you are playing some of these will or will not be very viable alternatives to PokerStars. So while we will continue looking for solutions to the PokerStars tracking issue, it is essentially up to you to decide where you want to play and what decisions will help you progress the most.

From my personal viewpoint as a player; I really like PokerStars myself and even have a tracked account there - but haven't played there for several months now since I am enjoying my time at other sites. So while I understand your frustration about it- it really isn't as if there weren't other alternatives.

Best regards

Thanks for your articulate and diplomatic response Soy. Unfortunately, im one of those 'tried em all rinsed the bonus' kind of player and have accounts at just about every single site going, Full Tilt / Party / All of the above mentioned, and im only left with the scraping the barrel type sites which don't have the kind of traffic i'm after.

'Tis a shame indeed.

Ah well.

never know unless you ask.

I'm sure I ready somewhere round these parts that people had stars accounts re-tracked. But that was probs a while a go and they were the lucky few.

I am happy with my untracked stars account. No afilitate I have to share my info with. And as independent every time I comunicate with support I can tell them my account is not tracked and they should be more polite to me and in fact they are very profesional. And if you have many points here you can buy one of many books. And have you seen content in full tilt academy? I dont think not having pokerstrategy tracked account is the think you should cry every day.

As the PokerStars support is very professional, they are polite to every customer, no matter on whom he's tracked.

Most affiliates even have CPA deals with PokerStars so after that initial payment, there is no difference anyways.

Plus the poker rooms acknowledge that earning StrategyPoints and thus having access to stuff and services here at PokerStrategy.com improves the player and thus his playing volume / loyalty.

And if you have many points here you can buy one of many books. And have you seen content in full tilt academy? I dont think not having pokerstrategy tracked account is the think you should cry every day.

If you really think the content of Full Tilt Academy is comparable to our's - then I understand why you don't miss being tracked

And books have better content than FT Academy, but are in no way multimedial or offer advanced services such as professional hand judgement forums.

If you want to hear me I do think its in some points better then here. In videos you can i.e. watch Omaha $5/$10 in basic level in academy. And here? Diamond status? In academy you can watch $1/$2 NL and here gold status maybe.

And I do like theyr videos better. Not grinding five tables but really reading oponents actions.

True is they dont offer so much content like this site. BUT started half year ago...

Hey Alafoe,

The Full Tilt acadamy doesn't offer coachings, or articles that are as indepth as PokerStrategys. Most the stuff they try and teach is basic as it trys to get fish to join the site and try and learn how to play - ofcourse they will improve but not as much if they came here.

Not only that but i watched a video where Chris Ferguson advised a min raise from Early Positions ♦. He had some theory behind it, but i think on NL1k and below it wont be effective

Oh and like you said, the acadmy offers 5$/10$ vids at the most basic vids where as you have to unlock the here. Well whats the point of watching a $5/$10 vid when you could be playing 0.25$/0.50$. A lot of the concepts just dont apply. But like you said, they can be fun and interesting to watch.

Think about this. You are running a poker site. A player signs up without any affiliates so ALL rake from the player goes to you. Would you accept if someone, for example PS.com, comes and say OK this player is registered in our web site and we demand a part of his rake from you. Basically this is the case with PS.com. Why should/would a poker site share its profit with a website which did not help this player when signing up.
