PokerStars VIP Program - Earn

When you play at PokerStars, you earn points for each qualified raked hand or tournament fee paid. These points are the building blocks of the VIP Club. There are two different types of points:

• VIP Player Points (VPPs)
• FPP credits

What's the difference between VPPs and FPP credits?

• VPPs determine your VIP level in the PokerStars VIP Club. They do not have any value and are purely a measurement to keep track of your VIP level each month or year.
• FPP credits are the points that can be redeemed for items in our VIP Store or for entry into the many tournaments that we offer.

VPPs and FPP credits are earned simultaneously

That means whenever you play qualified real money hands or pay tournament fees, you'll earn VPPs, and matching FPP credits.

Why do you have two types of points?

Firstly, we need to be able to measure your VIP level and second, the higher your VIP level, the more FPP credits you earn per VPP - in other words, you receive bonus FPP credits.

EXAMPLE: Johnny is a BronzeStar VIP and plays in a qualified raked hand. He earns 1 VPP and at the same time earns 1 matching FPP. Now if Johnny was a GoldStar level VIP and earned 1 VPP, he'd earn not 1, but 2 FPP credits.
