PokerStars ændrer i deres VIP program

I løbet af de seneste par år har PokerStars ikke ændret meget i deres VIP-program, men nu er tiden kommet til at ændre i det.

Læs mere på Slowplay her.

Nok ikke den store relevans for de fleste herinde - just saying :)

Sakset fra artiklen:

PokerStars skriver videre, at detaljerne endnu ikke er fuldt ud parate til at blive offentliggjort, men at VIP Club-ændringerne ikke vil komme til at påvirke mere end en håndfuld spillere som går efter at blive Supernova eller Supernova Elite i 2013.

sigh, håber ikke det er en forringelse

Der er en del spillere på PokerNet der faktisk er Supernova, og vil også tro at alle danske SNE spillere er PokerNettere. Men for de fleste er det måske ikke så vigtigt. Nu må vi se, måske kommer der et nyt VIP niveau mellem Supernova og SNE.

Det har du sikkert ret i. Det var nu også mere for at low stakes grinders (mig selv included) ikke skulle begynde at glæde sig for meget :D

Jeg er SN på PS og umiddelbart ikke nervøs for nyheden, kan simpelten ikke forestille mig at de laver højere krav - det er umuligt at sige hvad de har tænkt sig, den mest naturlige er måske et sted mellem SN og SNE, hvilket ville glæde mig at se da det bare er utrolig mange ting der skal gives afkald på over et år for at nå SNE.

Alternativt kunne de så enten gøre at der skulle lidt mere til at nå SNE, eller de kunne vælge at tilføje et højere niveau for de sygeste, selvom det ville være lidt et overkill.

Bare rolig det er ikke noget særligt. Efter FullTilt er købt af PS, som dermed har overvejende monopol, betyder det at VIP delen på PS nu bliver nedlagt :)

ikke de store ændringer

Summary of the 2013 VIP Club Changes

The changes listed below are permanent, and will go into effect on January 1, 2013 (unless otherwise noted).
New Monthly VIP status & rewards: ChromeStar

A new monthly VIP status named ‘ChromeStar’ will be introduced, between the BronzeStar and SilverStar VIP statuses. The monthly VIP Player Point (VPP) requirement to achieve or maintain ChromeStar VIP status is 100 VPPs.

ChromeStar VIPs will have all the same rewards and benefits as BronzeStar VIPs, plus free entry to the new VIP $5,000 Weekly Tournament and access to the 100K Privilege Freerolls. These freerolls will also be available to SilverStar and higher VIPs.
Decreased VIP status Requirements for SilverStar and GoldStar

The monthly requirement to achieve and maintain SilverStar VIP status will be decreased to 500 VPPs. This represents a 33% drop from the previous requirement of 750 monthly VPPs.

The monthly requirement to achieve and maintain GoldStar VIP status will be decreased to 2,500 VPPs. This represents a 17% drop from the previous requirement of 3,000 monthly VPPs.
VIP Club Hall of Fame: Expanded Lifetime Rewards

The VIP Club has been presenting players who earn 5,000,000 lifetime VPPs with customized TAG Heuer watches. This program has now been expanded to include the following benefits:

At 5,000,000 lifetime VPPs, players become part of the VIP Club Hall of Fame. An engraved TAG Heuer watch will be presented to them at a PokerStars Live Event, for example, the PCA or a VIP Club Live party. In addition, they will receive live English language support over instant messenger from senior PokerStars staff.

At 10,000,000 lifetime VPPs, we’ll create an experience unique to the player who has earned it. The player will also be provided with a cell phone number to call senior PokerStars staff for urgent issues. There is currently one player in this Hall of Fame bracket: Team Online member George Lind, who earned his 10 millionth VPP in September of 2012.
