How Do Players Get Rewarded?

Accumulating Frequent Player Points is as easy as playing poker. When you play at PokerStars, you earn points for each qualifying raked hand you play in cash games, and for every tournament fee you pay in multi-table or SnG tournaments. These points are the building blocks of the VIP Club.

There are two different types of points:
  • VIP Player Points (VPPs)

  • Frequent Player Points (FPPs)

  • VPPs are there only to measure your VIP level and can't be redeemed. FPPs have value and can be used to enter tournaments, purchase items from the VIP store, or exchange to cash.

    Each time you earn one VPP you will also earn one or more FPPs based on your VIP level. For example, if you are a Supernova player you will earn 3.5 FPPs for each VPP (see more details below).

    How VPPs are Generated

    Tournaments
    Players who play tournaments, satellites or SnGs will earn 5.5 VPPs for each $1 in fees paid or 8 VPPs [and crresponding FPPs] for each 1.00 EUR.
  • For example, if you play a tournament which costs $10+$1 to enter, $10 goes into the prize pool, and $1 is the entry fee. You earn 5.5 VPPs for each $1 USD in entry fees, so you would receive 5.5 VPPs for playing this event.

  • In a $5 buy-in Sit & Go poker tournament with a $0.50 entry fee, 2.75 VPPs will be awarded to each player who played in the tournament.

  • Playing in a EUR 5 buy-in tournament with a EUR 0.50 entry fee will earn you 4 VPPs.


  • Cash Tables with 8 or more seats
    These VPP earning rules apply to all cash tables with 8 or more seats, no matter how many players are actually seated or dealt in.

    VPPs at these tables are based on the total rake collected at the table and the total number of players dealt into the hand. VPPs at these tables are awarded at the rate of 6 VPPs for each $1.00 USD in rake collected or 8.5 VPPs for each 1.00 EUR in rake collected. The total VPPs for that hand are then divided equally among the players who were dealt into that hand. Fractional VPPs will be awarded in hundredths.

    Cash Tables with 7 or fewer seats
    These VPP earning rules apply to all tables that have seven or fewer seats, no matter how many players are actually seated or dealt in.

    VPPs at these tables are also based on the total rake collected at the table and the total number of players dealt into the hand. VPPs at these tables are awarded at the rate of 5.5 VPPs for each $1.00 in rake collected or 8 VPPs for each $1.00 rake collected. The total VPPs for that hand are then divided equally among the players who were dealt into that hand. Fractional VPPs will be awarded in hundredths.

    Important Note:
    In all cash ring games, points are credited at the end of a hand. So if you leave a table before the hand is completed, you may not receive the VPP for that hand. To ensure that you are properly credited, please Sit Out until the start of the next hand, and then leave the table.

    How FPPs are Generated

  • At the Bronze level, players will earn 1 FPP for every 1 VPP awarded. The higher your bonus level, the more bonus FPPs you receive.

  • SilverStar players earn 1.5 FPPs per 1 VPP

  • GoldStar players earn 2 FPPs per 1 VPP

  • PlatinumStar players earn 2.5 FPPs per 1 VPP

  • Supernova players earn 3.5 FPPs per 1 VPP

  • Supernova Elite players earn 5 FPPs per 1 VPP
