The progress bar is one of the best features of our rewards program. Each time you fill one up, you'll get a Chest loaded with great value.
All you have to do is earn reward points. The number of points you need depends on the Chest you're progressing towards.
If you want to know how many points get you to each Chest level, press here.
Each time you finish a progress bar, you'll receive a Chest and a new progress bar.
Your progress bar will reset if 28 days pass and you haven't earned any Chests. The next one will be easier to complete, but of lower value.
A different time frame applies to the Blue progress bar. This one will only reset if you don't collect any Chests in three months.
You'll automatically level up if you earn five Chests in a 28-day rolling period, reaping even better returns.
Make your way through five levels, each one more rewarding, until you reach Black level, topping our regular rewards scheme.
Head to 'PokerStars Rewards' in your user account to see your status and the number of Chests you need to upgrade.
The 28-day rolling period starts when you earn your first Chest.
Here's an example: If you earn one Chest on January 1 and three Chests on January 2, you'll have four Chests out of the number you need to upgrade to a higher level.
This is because you're within the 28-day rolling period.
But, if you don't earn another Chest by January 29, you'll be back to having three Chests. By January 30, you'll be down to zero.
The system will only take the Chests earned in the last 28 days into account.
If your reward points target seems out of reach to you, there's a swap option.
The 'Exchange Feature' is available if you're above Blue and below Black level. Feel free to apply it anytime under 'PokerStars Rewards'.
By using it, you exchange your current progress bar for a smaller Chest, cashing it in on the spot.
If you go for it, this smaller Chest will contain less value than the one you're giving up on. On the plus side, your new target will be easier to reach.
You can customize your table features, alerts and notifications. To hide your progress bar at the tables, just head to the main lobby of the PokerStars desktop software and select:
Uncheck the box next to 'PokerStars Rewards' to hide the progress bar. Of course, you'll continue to earn reward points as usual even if you choose not to display your rewards status.
