Now It’s Easier than Ever to be a Shooting Star on PokerStars
Mar 10, 2009By: G.L. Hodges PokerStars has made some major improvements lately by remodeling the VIP lounge!
Not the usual new furniture and carpeting here, but a great revamping of the VIP Club overall!
This is fantastic news for PokerStars players because now it is easier than ever to earn those valuable player points (VPPs). And as all players know, the more you play, the more points you earn. The more points you earn, the higher the VIP ladder you climb! Reach the top rungs of the VIP ladder and reap the best player rewards to be found anywhere in online poker!
PokerStars is always coming up with new ways to reward their loyal players and what better way than making it easier to get rewarded? With this in mind, as of the 1st of March, the VIP Club is better than ever before! And just what do these big changes mean to you? For one thing, now it is much easier to attain those higher VIP levels because the requirements to achieve those levels have been lowered! Just compare the old point system to the new one and see for yourself:
• SilverStar – Was a 1,500 VPP Requirement, now it is 1,200 VPPs per month.
• GoldStar – Was a 4,000 VPP requirement, now it is 3,000 VPPs per month.
• PlatinumStar - Was a 10,000 VPP requirement, now it is only 7,500 per month.
Not only will these welcome changes enable players to enjoy the benefits of being a high tier VIP player faster, but they will reap better rewards! One of the special VIP rewards is the weekly VIP tournaments and these have also been vamped up! Now, the $50,000 weekly VIP Freeroll prize pool has been pumped up to $75,000. Not only is the prize pool bigger but the structure will now feature 12 minute blinds. The 100 point buy-in $20,000 weekly VIP event is also better than ever, because now it has a $30,000 prize pool! This means the value of PokerStars VIP events just jumped up to over $6.5 million dollars guaranteed per year!
Things have also gotten better for those Supernova and Supernova Elite players, in the form of a longer status level period. These super status players can now retain their VIP status into the following year until the end of September, giving them three more months to retain their status. Plus, the Supernova and Super Elite level players now can receive milestone bonuses in cash credits.
No matter what level you achieve on PokerStars, you can be assured of the very best player rewards available anywhere. You are the boss when using your points, to buy in to special tournaments, live event qualifiers, earning huge cash bonuses or shopping in the super VIP store, the choice is yours! And now with the new and improved VIP program, those player points will rack up even faster, giving you bigger and better choices than ever.
