More than 2000 angry poker players are currently participating in a second boycott of PokerStars and they will not rest until their voices are heard.
I will have to give it to the players participating in the PokerStars boycott: that’s some serious standing up for something you believe in. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the world’s largest online poker room is being shaken.
Over 2,500 online poker players joined the first boycott against PokerStars from Dec. 1 to 3. The boycott was in response to major changes PokerStars made to its VIP program, which took effect on January 1st.
Some of the changes includes PlatinumStar status players receiving up to a 10% reduction in overall rewards, Supernova status players rewarded up to 27% less, while a cap on rewards was set at 45% for Supernova Elite.
