OK, so why is PokerStars the best place online to play poker (see PokerStars Review)? The answer, as all big time online players know, is the unique PokerStars VIP Club. No other online poker room offers anything like the Poker Stars VIP Club. As we already explained below, PokerStars offers FPP points for every hand you play, but for PokerStars VIPs, you can earn FPP credits up to 5X faster and special VIP only Tournaments and Freerolls.
There are 5 Levels of the Poker Stars VIP CLub : Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Supernova and SuperNova Elite. You move up from one level to another depending on how much you play per month. You automatically start at the bronze star level and when you earn 1,500 FPPs in a month you move up to Silver Star. 4,000 FPPs in a month gets you up to Gold Star level and as you continue to play you can move up faster (as you earn FPPs at a higher rate at each level and can participate in more lucrative special events and freerolls).
For the real poker stars, Supernova Elite qualification is at 1,000,000 FPPs over a period of 1 year! Now that’s a lot of poker….
