Black	250	$2,500	-	$1,000	40%

Regular Stars Rewards levels provide from 15% to 40% rakeback when playing for 28 days, from $20 to $2,500 rake.

The number of bonus points required to reach each level is displayed in the main lobby of the poker room client and in the "My Rewards" section.

The Stars Rewards level update can take up to 48 hours, but the chest scale of the new level will appear in the client immediately.

How do I earn bonus points?

Reward Points are bonus points that PokerStars players receive for paying rake at cash tables and in tournaments.

Reward Points are awarded for:

$1 rake = 100 points.
€1 – 110 points.
£1 – 130 points.

As part of the" Zoom Early Bird" unlimited promotion, fast-fold poker players of all stakes up to NL/PLO500$ in a 6-max format receive Reward Points with a coefficient of x2, as long as no more than 10 players play in the pool of one limit.

After the pool size exceeds this level, the multiplier is valid for another 10 minutes.

Stars Rewards Chests

PokerStars players receive regular rakeback payouts by opening chests.

Reward Points can be exchanged for a lower-level chest. You can check the availability of this option in the "My Rewards" section. It is worth making such an exchange only if you do not have time to finish the scale of the chest of the current level in the allotted time.

The color of the chest matches the name of the Stars Rewards level.
The payout amount for each level's chest is fixed.
The player must collect at least 5 chests to advance to the next level.
The validity period of the chest is 30 days; after this period, the bonus is considered overdue and is not paid.
The number of chests available for opening is displayed on the Stars Rewards scale in the main lobby of the PokerStars client.

PokerStars Select and PokerStars Select +

The main novelty of the Stars Rewards version 2024 was the launch of levels that were supposed to replace the Supernova and Supernova Elite, canceled in 2016.

Select and Select+ are two annual levels of the PokerStars loyalty program, with 50% and 60% rakeback.

Level	Requisite	To keep level
PokerStars Select	$50,000 rake in one year	From $50K rake per year or $10K rake for 3 months
PokerStars Select +	$100,000 rake in one year	From $100K per year or $30K rake for 3 months

Rakeback is paid automatically to the player's account every day based on the previous day's results.
Participation in PokerStars Select or PokerStars Select + excludes the player from other Stars Rewards promotions (receiving bonus points and chests) but gives access to exclusive bonus offers.
If a player provides proof that when playing in another poker room, he made rake volumes corresponding to the Select and Select + levels, then when switching to PokerStars games, he may immediately be credited with one of the annual levels.
