Empire VIP account

Is it me or is Empire's VIP program( and points program in general) retarded. They take the square root of raked hands played for points. Seems like you have to play way to many hands to get anything. I got 500 last month and played a ton.
That wont even get you a hat. The ipod seems impossible to ever reach.

Yeah, MTTs are the best way to get points fast.

You think it's possible to get the I-pod 19000 points is crazy. Is anyone out there a VIP member yet? I think it's 5k points

A friend of mine make 200+ points on one day. If you have time and play the 10+1 MTTs over the day the points are not a problem and the most MTTs are more like a sit and go.

So the only way to get them is through MTT. Because I have been playing 1200 hands of limit everyday and hardly makes a dent.

I think its the fastes way.

If you play 10 MTT a day you got 10x10 points + 1 point for every $1 you pay the house to enter a multi-table tournament.

5 MTTs 10+1, 3 MTTs 20+2, 2 MTTs 30+3 = 120 EPoints (240EP if you are a VIP).

To earn the same ammount of points per day you have to play 14400 raked hands [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Sometimes they do drives and upgrade players without them having reached the requisite points. I was upgraded about a year ago or so and I wasn't even close to getting there on my own. (I only played limit games). But even when you're a VIP it's a pretty crappy rewards programme.

LOL, this guy has at least 100k pts.

When you play as many hours as I do

Do they inform you about the drive? And do you have to be pre-VIP to earn the bonus points?
