    only reason it pisses me off is they shoiuldve given to a fishier country.

    give it to one of those groups of spanish speaking monkeys that flood the chat boxes with vamo nonsesne. They'd grind themselves broke in that month.

    still a cool promo

    Sigh, they better match a promo for the US novas or im gonna be annoyed even more at PS. They just sent a survey out for supernovas to take as well, it would be nice to get some response from it on the US side too bryan. Fix the mtts, help US novas too, do anything stars.

    i think it means platinum level will be retained for 2 months...if you get the rest of the vpps to become SN it will last normal amount of time...the best you can get is 80k vpps...so you still need 20k for SN(if you dont have any already)

    Subject: can i move to UK for a month to take part in vip promotion?

    >sorry to bug you guys again, but i was just reading on pocketfives about
    the
    >UK vip may promotion. I was wondering if I move there sometime in this
    month
    >if I would be able to participate in promotion?
    >
    >
    >Thanks again,

    Hello Leonardo,

    Thank you for your email.

    Unfortunately, I think moving to UK is not a very practical approach. You
    could do that. However, you will need to prove you are living in UK.

    Our marketing department creates different promotions for different
    demographics, considering that we have so many players world wide.

    We can understand how you would be frustrated for not being able to take
    advantage of this particular one, but rest assured it has never been our
    intention to make any player feel left out or excluded.

    Keep in mind that we do the "Instant Supernova VIP status" promotion,
    which you can take part in. Every player who qualifies for the Main
    Event by winning a seat on PokerStars (and signs our WSOP* 2009 Terms &
    Conditions and plays the Main Event) will have their PokerStars account
    credited with 100,000 VPPs - making you an instant Supernova VIP, or
    taking you one step closer to Supernova Elite status!

    You can find all the details regarding this particular promotion here:
    http://www.pokerstars.com/wsop/

    Regardless of this and the many other ways we have come up with for all
    players to qualify into the WSOP this year, we understand your point of
    view and welcome your feedback regarding the "UK May VIP" promotion. I
    have contacted our marketing team with your insight, rest assured it is
    valued and will be taken into consideration for future promotions of
    this nature.

    Again, we apologize if this in any way causes you or any other players
    any sort of an inconvenience.

    Keep in mind that we are simply trying to involve as much of our players
    around the world in this years upcoming WSOP by creating different
    marketing strategies for specific regions.

    If there is anything else we may help you with, please let us know.

    Best regards,

    Diana C.
    PokerStars Support Team

    You guys do realize that europe is an emerging poker market and the USA is a dying poker market? Of course they're gonna give promos to europeans that we're not gonna be privy too. And let's be honest, stars in general treats their regulars better then any other site. Anyone who's mad about this should stop wasting their time emailing Stars, and spend more time emailing their ridiculous government that is trying to outlaw poker.
