Under the veil of changes to the VIP-program, PokerStars starting from January 1, 2016 implicitly raises the rake for all kinds and formats of poker. Hiding behind the concerns about the future of this game, the PokerStars owners want to cash in on players and increase their multimillion profit even more.
Increasing already huge rake will turn poker, an intellectual game which you can beat only with your brain and skill, into a gambling game, a roulette which provides benefit only to the casino. Some will lose their income, some will lose their hobby, and some will lose their dream of becoming a real poker star...
We call on everyone who loves and values poker, to stop playing at this site starting from January 1, 2016 and till full cancellation of the forthcoming changes, as a mark of protest against PokerStars policy that ignores players' interests.
Join our strike on the 1st of January:
