Using FPPpro.com

Could you help me see which i am clearly missing.

After putting an example of  "Bronze achieving 30000 VPP's"

The following shows.


FPPs: $1,109.82 (69364 FPPs @ $0.016 per FPP)
VIP Stellar Rewards: $350

Total: $1,459.82
$/VPP: $0.0486608
Rakeback: 26.8% (Tournaments/SH Cash) or 29.2% (FR Cash)


Stella reward makes sense and adds up on Stars VIP store, but i can't see where and how the FPP's can be spent to achieve the
$1,109.82 .

If it relates to the VIP Reward bonus  well up to 30k VPP's and pending on status that equals $310 up to platinum.  If you bought these then you would have 44464 Fpp's left which i guess you can spend on tourney tickets ??  Or am i missing something?


Cheers for any help

Steve

To get 1. per fpp in cash I think you need to be supernova. otherwise you get a lower rate. If you buy tournament tickets then I think you get the equivalent of 1. whatever your VIP level, so would guess that's what it refers to. Not completely sure though, you'd have to check.

Yup i saw that, but pending at what point you got to that rating would affect the number of FPP's, so only the amount might be different, but still need to know how to spend them.


Thanks for responding

I think that i have ssused this,you can buy as many of the VIP Rewards bonus as your FPP's total and status allows.  I have emailed stars as suggested to double check. That was an itch that i just had to scratch.

What is the most effective thing to do with your FPP's i tend to splurge them on satellites but i guess this probably is not the best way!

Got this reply



Hello Steve,

Thank you for your email.

The $ value that is quoted for redeeming FPPs is 1 FPP = $0.016.

This rate is only achievable by buying tournament tickets in the
VIP Store once you reach SilverStar VIP status or using your FPPs
to enter satellites on the PokerStars client.

You will not have access to cash rewards at this equivalent $/FPP
rate unless you each Supernova VIP status.

If you need further clarification please let me know.

Regards,

Gareth

Check out this link. Will give you a good idea of what you can expect from the Stars VIP system.

This is based off monthly rake over the course of 12 months.
