VPP

Accumulating VIP Points is as easy as playing poker. For each qualifying raked real money poker hand you play on PokerStars, you earn VPP credits. Every time you play real money multi-table poker tournaments that has a tournament fee, you earn VPP credits. Every time you play a Sit & Go tournament that include a tournament fee, you earn VPP credits.

Important Note: VPP credits 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(or VPP credits) 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.

1. Earn VPP credits for cash game play

First VIP Point (VPP) 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 VPP 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 VPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches $5.00.
2. Earn VPP credits for tournament play

Five (5) VPP credits are awarded for each $1 in tournament fees paid.

For example, playing in a poker tournament with $20 buy-in and $2 tournament fee, each player will be awarded 10 VPP credits. *Note that partial VIP Points are always rounded to the nearest whole number.

In a $5 buy-in Sit & Go poker tournament with only a $0.50 fee, 3 VPP credits (instead of 2.5) will be awarded to each player who played poker in the tournament.

In a $5 buy-in 4-player Heads-Up Sit & Go poker tournament with only a $0.25 fee, 1 VPP (instead of 1.25) will be awarded to each player who played poker in the tournament.

Please note that “FreePlay” tournaments do not award VPP credits. You can play poker for fake money at the free tables, but these poker games and tournaments are not part of the PokerStars VPP program.
