I have paid PKR nearly 3k in rake. I have received nearly 250k points for this pleasure. This gets me HALF an iPod from the 'Rewards' shop. I could get one for £175.00 down Argos. I can't help feeling this is far from a good deal.

anyone agree?

i think that pkr are just giving some thing back cos you have paid 3k in rake dont mean they are going to give you a free car in the long run they dont have to give you anything take what you can and be happy

You also get stacked magazine, and reload bonuses. I think it's a good deal.

I suppose if you've paid 3k in rake, and lost 10k, you'll not be so happy with half an iPod, or even a whole iPod. :-)

well to be honest there is MUCH better reward point system ratio on another famous pokersite - however I think i'm getting the better deal here since the players here are much softer so i'm not woried about the points so much i just like softer games since it just = more $ for me

Think it's gonna take some time wink

pleased there's more of a sensible response to this here than the same thread i put in the lounge. but that's what i expect from cash players wink

i do agree with Gonza on the whole. however, i do think PKR could and should come up with a points system that rewards more regular play.

it does seem though that 'investing' points in tournaments is a far better deal than products, which is of course no coincidence wink

it's a shame the hands per level ratio on pkr is so prohibitively donkament bad.

its just im a little sick of examples like today where (as usual) i get two .25/.5 plo8 tables going, and pay A LOT of rake when its short handed, have to leave after a couple of hours, whilst pkr are left raking the max on 50%+ hands from a now full table.
