295. News round-up, including PokerStars Rewards changes with Ashley Chase and Chris Straghalis

Welcome to #PITE 2024! On their first podcast of the year, James and Joe recap some of the big poker headlines of the last six weeks. From the good – the Global Poker Award nominations – to the bad – accusations of super users and bots on other sites. As far as PokerStars is concerned, the Sunday Million 18th Anniversary has been announced and the new revamped Rewards program is live. The hosts are joined by two Stars execs, Ashley Chase, Associate Director of CRM and Loyalty, and Chris Straghalis, Director of Online Poker Experience, to discuss what's changed and why, and how the poker community has reacted. Meanwhile, Joe reveals how Sandy the Degenerate descended to new levels of Sandy-ness at #EPTPrague. And James Harpin from the UK competes for a Bronze #PowerPass, answering questions about 'The Simpsons' in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
