poker stars loyalty program
Firstly I must congratulate Poker Stars on a loyalty scheme which I feel is second to none. The system itself is easily accessible to the player onsite, showing updates of both VPP’s and FPP’s. www.pokerstars.com
These are poker stars points earned in tandem with one another as players pay tournament entry fees and of course keep the rake happy during the cash games. The VPP’s are essentially what is accumulated through real money play, and are used to determine a player’s VIP status on site.
The higher this poker stars level is (there are 6 in total) the more poker stars FPP points are earned too. FPP points can subsequently be used in the onsite shop, which I was delighted to see was not constrained to mere poker playing equipment, but offered many things from books and clothing through to electrical goods and of course poker playing accssesories too.
The average poker stars player of course is unlikely to reach the highest levels of VIP status, as we all have jobs and suchlike to prevent us from playing our beloved game on a constant basis, however the lower levels of the VIP system still offer the more leisurely player excellent rewards for their continued loyalty. Alongside the rewards stated above there are also good value tournaments which can be taken advantage of by those with the required status, and the site even includes a calculator into which the player can input his/her poker playing habits and gain a forecast of poker stars VPP’s accumulated, and the particular VIP level that would be earned.
All these things combine to make what I found poker stars to be an easy to use, generous, well structured loyalty bonus system which has to be one of the best, if not the best in online poker. www.pokerstars.com
