Re: Stars VIP for SNG player
[ QUOTE ]
I thought about this as well - caveat is in the FPP store it mentions that "Note: tickets are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and non-refundable." I'm not sure if the non-exchangeable part precludes you from exchanging your entry for T$. Say you're an active $60 turbo player, 432 per month. You should in theory qualify for platinum status earning 10,800 base FPP's plus your 150% bonus = 27,000 fpp's. That buys you two $215 entries / $2160 rake paid = a 20% haircut on vig. Warning: my math skills stink. [/ QUOTE ] 215 is <10% of 2160. |

Re: Stars VIP for SNG player
Ok i emailed Stars about the program in regards to the tournies and the FPP's for unregistering from tournies and this is the reply.
Hello XXXX, Thanks for your interest in our VIP program. 1: We talked about this in some length and finally decided on the posted schedule for these freerolls. I understand that the time is not the best for Aussies, but unfortunately a vast majority of our players are based in North America. We will obviously gather feedback from our players and see what we can do to accomodate all our players. I have also forwarded your comments to our Marketing team in charge of the program. 2) The way this will work is that you can buy a ticket to a tourney using FPPs. You then use this ticket to register for the tourney. If you unregister, you will get your ticket back. 3) The packages will come with travel expenses and accomodations. You will have to wear PokerStar gear in the event. Regards, XXXX PokerStars Support Team |

Re: Stars VIP for SNG player
It should be noted that I still think the program is a good idea, it just makes the freerolls realtively useless to me as they are on from 1am-4am in the morning here.
Also i am unsure what they mean in 2) |

Re: Stars VIP for SNG player
I assume they mean you will have to wait until the tourney the following week to enter...

Ok, thats makes sense. So the whole FPP --> tourny --> unregister --> $T combo seems dead then
