PokerStars VIP Program Changes

From January 1, 2010, changes will be introduced to the PokerStars VIP Program. These are as follows:

• Changes in VPP Earning: New, simplified method for awarding VPPs to players. This means many players will earn VPPs and FPPs faster, especially in tournaments and Sit & Gos.
