dude, just concierge

thats like one of the biggest perks of supernova IMO

I buy shit all the time so just send in the receipt and its basically the same as cash except the rate is much better and you dont have to clear anything.

k2o4, listen to this guy. he knows what he's talking about.

Gahhh, now I'm confused.

I hear the long term EV here, but literally I'm really low on money and since I can't cash out any of my BR this is my only way to get any extra cash. Once I'm doing poker full time I'll definitely be going for the bigger bonuses. Right now I work part time and it's just barely enough to cover me every month. I gotta get some extra income here, especially with the holidays coming up.

Congrats on getting Nova! You definitely earned it imo.

And I also agree with DooMeR about the bonuses, but I guess you can make an exception in the short term if you really need the money now.

Btw TenBagger if that's how the concierge works then I am definitely going to try getting Nova asaply starting January 1

Ok, using that VPP calculator I got these numbers

If I play 8 tables avg and 2 hours a day avg, I'll make 40k FPP a month. Considering that I have to work a job and spend time with my GF so I don't play every day, that works out to be about right. Last month I only got 45 hours logged and since I tend to play btwn 4 - 12 tables I figure the 8 table avg works out right. So I'm looking at nearly 2 months to hit 100k to buy the $1,500 bonus, and what, over 5 months to make the 250k FPP to buy the $4,000 bonus.

Once I get up to NL200 I'll definitely wait for the $1,500 bonuses if not the $4,000 ones. But for now it's way too long of a wait imo.

Also tenbagger are you joking about the concierge? I always thought that looked like a waste. Though I'm not sure wtf it does.

btw my coach is sakisaki (someone asked ^^)

K2o4, you can use the concierge for anything over $500 (31,000 fpps). Just email them your receipt. You can also pool receipts together to make it $500. There are a couple restrictions to what they will reimburse you for. For example, you cant pay your taxes or some bills using concierge.

But you can always buy something, send a copy of the receipt and then return it.

PS. How many tables do you play?

short term is more important than long term in this case, take the money now as thanks for getting to supernova and since you need some money then work towards higher ones. Doomer's advice only applies once you already have all those financial things sorted out

Holy shit that's cool. So I send them the receipt and then they put that money in my poker account? how does that part work?

You email them a copy of the receipt. They review it and within a week, deduct your fpps and credit your account accordingly.

If you have other questions, Stars support got back with me shortly after each email i sent regarding concierge.

sweet, thanks everybody =)

f@ck that supernova i can play at ongame with donks and get 60% rb without stupid sn :>
