Earn just 75 VPPs in August and PokerStars players will instantly reach SilverStar VIP status (usually 750 VPPs) and keep it until the end of September. The same goes for GoldStar and PlatinumStar VIP status, where players only need to accrue 300 VPPs and 750 VPPs respectively – that’s just 10% of the usual 3,000 and 7,500 VPPs required!

By hitting higher VIP levels, players benefit in two ways. First, they will earn more Frequent Player Points (FPPs) for the same amount of play. Second, higher level VIPs get access to more items in the VIP Store and can redeem their FPPs for cash bonuses with greater value. To learn more about how PokerStars players earn VPPs and FPPs see the VIP Club rewards explanation.

VIP Club Mega Month

Here are two examples of how the Mega Month can benefit players who take advantage of the promotion in August.

Example 1: A BronzeStar player earns 75 VPPs by August 16 and therefore becomes a SilverStar player until the end of September. This player earns a further 200 VPPs* in August and 300 VPPs in September. This player will receive an extra 250 FPPs for their play, because of the 1.5x multiplier on FPPs awarded to SilverStar players.

* 200 VPPs can be earned by playing 37 x $10+$1 tournaments.

• Example 2: A SilverStar player earns 750 VPPs by August 20 and therefore becomes a PlatinumStar player until the end of September. The player earns a further 250 VPPs in August and 1,000 VPPs* in September. This player will receive an additional 1,475 FPPs for their play, because of the FPP multipliers on GoldStar (2x) and PlatinumStar (2.5x) status. The player will also gain access to the $100,000 PlatinumStar freeroll in September.

* 1,000 VPPs can be earned by playing approximately 2,000 hands of six-max $1/$2 No Limit Hold’em.

VIP Store Sale

In addition to the Mega Month promotion there will also be discounts of up to 50% across hundreds of selected VIP Store items in the VIP Store Sale, meaning that players can get even more value from their extra FPPs.
