How about some promotion to reward HP's middle and high stakes players who earn a lot of player points? Perhaps there should be a cash back option or at least the option to exchange for tickets to some of the bigger tourneys (US/Euro Dailys, Grand Prix, etc) where the stakes are reasonable with respect to the players' regular play. The stakes of the current selections are just too small to be of interest to many players.

Many players who play regularly at the mid/high limits are playing here through rakeback skin sites (and openly referring other players to them throught the chat window) and I believe that most of the rest of the action players will move to these sites unless HP can offer us a little more in the way of rewards.

Hi donation,

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate the input from our members. The poker point exchange is something relatively new for us and the program keeps getting bigger and better. We strive to reward our members by giving them several options to use their points, as well as being able to use the same points for different things.

For example, players can use their points towards deposit, reload and Invite-a-Friend bonuses, as well as cash those same points in for various tournament tickets. Right now you can exchange your poker points for tickets to the WPT Shootout (which is $10,000 guaranteed), the Michael Woods Celebrity Invitational, Easy Money, Speedzone and our hourly poker point freerolls. We have also used points to determine prize multipliers and award entry into other tournaments such as the Big Break.

I just wanted to show you how the points have evolved so that you can see that we value our players feedback and know that we want to reward our members. I will pass along your suggestion for mid to high stakes players and please keep in mind that the poker points program will continue to grow.

Cheers,

Julie

I received a Hollywood Poker shirt a while back but never received the hat that I was promised. I'm not bitter, nor upset, I was just hoping that I could get a hat using poker points. I wear my shirt to many live tournaments, both at casinos and private events, and always strike up a conversation about the best online poker site out there!

Is there a chance that HP wear will be available through poker points? I really want a hat!!!

I'm still waiting for Julie to rig a draw so I can get my very own HP swag! It's not collusion if we openly talk about this, right?

I keed, I keed!!

Instead of the insane freerolls could you try some Poker Point Packages?
something like a 500 point prize package for a 10Pt buy in or a super 2000 point daily for so many raked hand freeroll.
It would help us clear the bonus faster (please help a low limit player) and attract more of the serious players.
Just an idea
