Full Tilt Poker has drawn a lot of attention for its new VIP Black Cards rewards system and now PokerStars is firing back by dropping VIP clearing requirements.
PokerStars has always provided players with the option of exchanging Frequent Player Points (FPP) for generous cash prizes but up until now players were required to clear their cash bonus purchases from the PokerStars VIP Store prior to the money being credited to their accounts. Now bonuses will instantly be credited so players can avoid the hassle of wagering requirements and increase their overall profits in far less time.
There is a slight catch however; staying on the higher tiers of the VIP Club will now require a little more work on the part of the player. The site's second highest tier Supernova is awarded to players who earn 100,000 VPPs in one calendar year and previously only required earning 7,500VPPs a month to retain. Now players must earn the full 100,000VPPs a year if they want to continue to enjoy all of the perks the level has to offer. While this may seem a little more troublesome players should keep in mind that they will receive their bonuses instantly and should in theory have a better overall turnover which will result in more VPPs.
