PokerStars' VIP Program is known simply as "The PokerStars VIP Club". Inclusion into the various levels of the VIP Club is based upon earning Frequent Player Points, or FPP.
These FPP can be redeemed in the PokerStars FPP Store for merchandise, as well as for entry into a number of Poker Stars qualifiers to larger tournaments and WSOP/WCOOP events.
How FPPs are generated
First Frequent Player Point (FPP) is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:
$0.40 for fixed limit poker games with stakes $1/$2 and lower
$0.40 for NL/PL poker games with blinds $1/$2 and lower
$0.40 for "1-on-1" poker games (this applies only to "1-on-1" tables, not to regular tables which have only two players seated)
$1.00 for all other games
Second FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:
$2.00 for all 6-max tables (this doesn't apply for games being played 6- handed at 10/9/8 player tables - just 6-max tables)
$3.00 for all other tables
Third FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches $5.00.
Tournament Play
Five (5) FPP credits are awarded for each $1 in tournament fees paid.
Note that partial Frequent Player Points are always rounded to the nearest whole number.
