Poker Stars VIP Changes

12/31/2009

Poker Stars will make several changes to their VIP Program in 2010. The most notable change is how FPPs are earned. Starting in 2010 tournaments will pay 5.5 FPPs per $1 in tournament fees. Also cash game tables with 8 or more seats will earn 6 FPPs per $1 rake divided by the number of dealt players. For example if the rake was $1 and 9 players were dealt each player would receive .66 FPPs. In games where there are fewer than 8 seats then 5.5 FPPS will be awarded for every $1 rake. The FPPs will also be divided among all dealt players at those tables. Another notable change is that it now only takes 750 FPPs in a month to become SilverStar. In 2009 that number was 1200. Now that Poker Stars offers a new and improved VIP Program and a 100% up to $600 first deposit bonus there has never been a better time to sign up. Poker Stars is the largest online poker room and they accept U.S. players.

RakeTracker | The Rakeback Pioneer.

Believe it or not, there was a time in online poker’s history that there was no such thing as rakeback. When the seeds of Rake Tracker were first planted in 2003 almost all poker rewards came in the form of bonuses. Soon players wanted more. The RakeTracker business first started small, offering rakeback to players on a one-on-one basis and through referrals.

As the business grew, RakeTracker.com was launched as one of the first full-scale rakeback providers on the internet providing players with additional perks that they could receive in addition to bonuses – payout out rakeback since 2004. Now many years later, players still flock to RakeTracker for industry leading rakeback deals, monthly poker promotions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and top quality customer support.

What is Rakeback?

All live and online card rooms take “rake” and “tournament fees” to run and operate their games. The amount of rake or fees taken will vary by game type and stake levels, but will generally be 5% of each pot for ring games and around 10% of the buy-in for tournaments.

With rakeback, players are returned a percentage of the rake that is attributed to them, usually 27%-40%. Simply put: Receiving rakeback and other promotions help winning poker players win more and losing poker players lose less. There is no reason not to get rakeback!
