Confirmation Re: Stars FPP's

[TheDonk]

Since nobody at Stars ever replied to the thread we had about FPP's for pots that rake under $.40 I finally asked support. Got confirmation that players do not earn partial FPP's for pots that rake less than $.40. This would explain the low conversion rates. Basically, tons of micro-stakes players never qualify.

Wow, sick reason for them being selective about MGR too.

Aside from affiliates not clearing the CPA they make it hard for players to clear the $50 bonus???

Micro limit players MAKE the bigger games, the money flows up.

This is exactly why it sucks to have one poker site in such a dominating role.

Yeah, and I doubt many affiliates are mentioning this on their sites.

On a more positive note though, my conversion rates are looking better than they were for a while there. Running stats since the beginning of the year aren't as good as I think they 'should' be, but they aren't 'terrible' either.

I just checked one of my sites analytics and someone had searched "takes forever to get points pokerstars"

Kind of misleading dont you think

Stars - seriously you are not going to award fractional fpp's??? Bad to your players, bad to your affiliates.

[PTC]

I guess now I know why they make it so hard to get totals for real money players vs qualified players over time (more than 1 month).

Carly, Fiona, Chris, I realize you guys have to answer to the powers that be when it comes to FPP's and non affiliate stuff. But you should seriously move this up the ladder. This is extremely unfair to both players and affiliates.

How many micro-limit players on your site have no idea that they will never clear the bonus or be able to collect FPP's? Probably 99% of them.

Well, i send 100 of players to poker stars per month but conversion is very low about 20% only. now i understand why my players does not convert.
