Please note, your VIP Club membership will begin January 1, 2006, at which point you will begin earning VIP Player Points.



The PokerStars VIP club recognizes you, the dedicated poker player, and rewards you for choosing to play on the site recognized as the industry's best. PokerStars has always provided you with great games and the best tournaments. Now it offers you new rewards with the VIP Club.

The PokerStars VIP Club offers you the following benefits:
Earn Frequent Player Points (FPPs) up to 3.5 times faster.
Participate in exclusive VIP Freerolls.
At the higher levels of the VIP Club, use your FPPs to buy directly into the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, the European Poker Tour, and the main event at the World Series of Poker.
At the higher levels of the VIP Club, use your FPPs to purchase consumer goods, including iPods, high-resolution computer monitors, travel packages, and more.

You become a PokerStars VIP the moment you start playing for real money on PokerStars. With your first raked hand, you become a BronzeStar VIP. The more you play on PokerStars, the higher your star will rise. Each level adds more exciting and innovative rewards.

Our new VIP Club is an extension of our existing Frequent Player Point pogram. We've created four new VIP Club month-by-month tiers: BronzeStar, SilverStar, GoldStar, PlatinumStar, and our super-elite annual tier: Supernova

Your VIP Club star level is based on your monthly PokerStars real money play. At the heart of the new program are VIP Player Points (VPP)1. You earn one VPP every time you earn a Frequent Player Point (FPP) playing in a real money ring game or tournament. Players will start accruing VPPs on January 1st, 2006.




Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Stars


You achieve BronzeStar, SilverStar, GoldStar and PlatinumStar tiers by earning a certain number of VPPs during a single month. As you play on PokerStars, you will earn both FPPs and VPPs. Your FPPs are yours to spend as you please in our FPP store or to enter special FPP freerolls. VPPs are how you track your VIP status; they can not be redeemed and have no other value.

Your monthly VPP counter resets at the beginning of each month. To achieve (or maintain) a certain tier in the VIP Club, you must earn the required VPPs during that month. Once you reach a VIP tier you instantly receive everything that tier has to offer for the remainder of the month, and for the month following it.




Supernova VIP


Beyond the monthly tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum) lies our super-elite Supernova tier. Any player who earns 100,000 VPPs from January 1st through December 31st of a single calendar year will become a Supernova VIP.

Supernova status supersedes any monthly tier level. Once you become a Supernova VIP, you receive all the benefits of Silver, Gold and PlatinumStars as well as added benefits reserved only for Supernova VIPs.
