GGPoker vs PokerStars in 2026: where’s the value for a regular player?
Is there any value on GGPoker now, can anyone compare Stars rakeback properly?

Cash games or tournaments? Makes a difference since the fee structures don't really line up between the two.
Cash, and yeah the split matters. Clean way to put it, wish I'd asked it first.
I think Stars is the steadier value for a regular. GG’s Fish Buffet swings with volume and points earned, so compare actual cashback against rake paid, not the headline rate. A 2% difference is $100 on $5,000 of rake.
Five grand of rake? That's not a regular player, that's a second job.
GGPoker's cashback looks tempting, but the PVI system makes the actual value harder to calculate. I'd compare effective rake after rewards rather than just the advertised percentages.
Do you count missions and leaderboard rewards in that effective-rake figure? I’ve found they change the numbers when I compare.
