I didnt realise until yesterday how close I am to reaching the silver level status of the FPP Rewards on Pokerstars. Every player on stars automatically becomes a bronze player on signing up. If a player accrues 1500 points in a month then they are elevated to silver. Gold is 3500, platinum is 10,000 and I believe supernova is 100,000 in a year. The benefits of becoming a silver star member are not that spectacular. You get bonuses on your FPP account by getting them quicker, and there are a few monthly freerolls which Silver stars can enter through satellites. I recently played a 1000 sat for the EPT and I plan on playing more in the future, but I also wanted something to show for my time on stars. Therefore due to the amount of traveling I do (Ireland for fiancee, Canada to go home, and New York where I work in the summer) I purchased a Pokerstars Travel Bag. It was 1000 points and I thought what the hell. Better then nothing. I think I may also buy something again next time I have enough points rather then play sats. I will then wait for the FPPs to get bigger due to my silver level status when they give me 1.5 x the normal amount.
If you're earning enough points to hit the higher levels of the Stars VIP scheme have you ever thought of playing elsewhere and getting rakeback?
ReplyDeleteI have tried other sites but to be honest I dont think they compare to pokerstars. Maybe in the future I will look, but for now, I like stars. But you are right, I should be looking at other sites
