PokerStars就新抽佣计算方式回应玩家
在众多扑克玩家对新的抽佣规则提出抗议之后，PokerStars征求了一部分扑克玩家代表的意见，终于决定再次更改其抽佣规则。新规则从总体上减少了扑克室的抽佣金额，并将于2月1日生效。

2012年伊始，PokerStars更改其抽佣方式，从“参与计算方式”改为“权重计算方式”。
但是这种规则上的改变并不被大量的扑克玩家看好，一些扑克玩家甚至通过在现金桌保持离开状态来发泄情绪。
PokerStars并没有对这种情形视而不见，公司专门从2+2论坛和马恩岛这些具有代表性的扑克玩家社区找到5位扑克玩家代表进行了一番会谈，内容是关于扑克室接下来应该怎样进行应变，以适应广大扑克玩家的需求。
周末的时候，这5名玩家代表回来，对外界反应出了以下信息：
• 最高抽佣百分比降低至4.5%.
• 相比2011年，扑克室总体抽佣金额下降约2%，补上了最近对VIP玩家奖励的1.5%的金额减少部分。
• Supernova和Supernova Elite玩家在现金桌游戏中如果在达到2011年VPP点数的一半，就能够在整个2013年维持他们目前的等级。不过这还有一个前提，就是他们必须在整个2012年都满足扑克室每月的VPP点数要求。这样的优惠是一次性的，只在2013年有效。
• 达到这些等级的扑克玩家，现在允许有2个月的时间达不到每月的VPP点数要求，但是仍然能够维持扑克室的VIP等级（这是一个永久性的规则，并不仅仅限于今年）。
• Supernova玩家每月的VPP点数要求下降到6,500 VPP。
• 新增了两个级别的NLHE现金桌，分别是$0.03/$0.06和$0.08/$0.16桌。
• 高额桌的抽佣上限提高，但在大部分现金桌的抽佣上限都降低。
• 这样形式的PokerStars和扑克玩家的会谈以后将一年进行2次。
以上提到的所有变化，包括抽佣规则的改变，都将从2012年2月1日开始实施。

如果在新的抽佣规则下，扑克室总体抽佣金额减少的部分并不能达到因为从“参与抽佣”改为“权重抽佣”方式而造成的对玩家的VIP奖励减少的金额，PokerStars将考虑继续降低扑克室的总抽佣金额。
