We would like to make you aware of our latest promotion which is targeted specifically for player acquisition.
The entire month of August is the PokerStars VIP Club Mega Month. As part of this promotion, PokerStars has slashed the VIP Player Point (VPP) earning requirements for its monthly VIP levels by 90%. This means that players can become a SilverStar VIP in August by earning just 75 VPPs. Players who normally play enough to achieve SilverStar VIP status will earn PlatinumStar VIP status.
This promotion allows PokerStars players to reap the benefits of higher VIP statuses more quickly. They’ll earn more FPPs, have more VIP Store items available to them, and be able to participate in extra VIP Tournaments.
Players will keep the status they earn in August through to the end of September. For reaching the same monthly status again in September, they will be eligible for the following VIP rewards:
VIP Club Level Continuing Monthly Cash and Tournament Rewards
BronzeStar Up to $21 (15-17%)
SilverStar Starting at $26 (19-21%)
GoldStar Starting at $129 (24-26%)
PlatinumStar Starting at $382 (28-31%)
VIP reward values include VIP Stellar Rewards, VIP Milestone Rewards, and FPPs when redeemed at a value of $0.016 each. Continuing monthly reward calculations based on the VIP Stellar Rewards a player maintaining the minimum VPP requirements can expect to earn over a full calendar year, as a monthly average. These values may remain unrealized until FPPs and other rewards are redeemed. FPPs have no cash value.
A large benefit of moving up the VIP levels more quickly comes in the form of Frequent Player Point (FPP) multipliers. As players move up the VIP levels, they earn more FPPs for the same amount of play. PokerStars VIPs are able to redeem their FPPs for cash, tournament entries, PokerStars merchandise, and more in the VIP Store. Higher level VIPs have access to more and better items, including cash bonuses with better value.
FPPs can also be used to buy-in to VIP Tournaments and satellites to major online and live events. For instance, GoldStar and PlatinumStar VIPs can satellite into the Quarterly $1,000,000 VIP Tournament on August 20 for 1,500 FPPs. There is also the Monthly $100,000 VIP Tournament, a freeroll for GoldStar+ VIPs, on August 27. VIP Tournaments can be found under the ‘Tourney > VIP > All’ tab in the PokerStars client. FPP satellites can also be found under the ‘Tourney > Satellite > FPP’ and ‘Sit & Go > Satellite > FPP’ tabs.

Update on the Spanish Licensing Process
In accordance with the new law implemented in Spain* on May 27th, PokerStars is now paying 25% gaming duty on revenue from all players resident in Spain. As a result of this, all affiliates will receive standard revenue share for any newly registered Spanish players, which will be as follows:
Net Revenue >= $0.00, Percentage: 20.00%
Net Revenue >= $10,000.00, Percentage: 25.00%
Net Revenue >= $30,000.00, Percentage: 30.00%
This change will take effect as of August 1st. Although no official date has yet been confirmed for the launch of a new Spanish client, we will endeavor to keep you updated with its progress.
