How much Party points + VIP equal as RB?

[ColdDecker333]

Surely asked before, but I started to wonder how much Party Pokers promotions + party points + VIP promos equals roughly as rakeback? In another thread someone mentioned that PokerStars Supernova status equals ~45% RB if one plays NL400-NL600.

Of course this differs from your status, so different percentages for blue silver and gold. Also we can assume that one uses full deposit bonuses monthly and raked days + happy hour play. No referrals or other rare stuff. Main game would be PLO cash $100-$400 buy-in levels and holdem and omaha MTT:s buy-ins $20-$40. One plays so much that he reaches VIP level (This was $1000+ MGR, right?)

Any adviced guesses?

Supernova is not worth 45% RB. The most FPP you can get from a hand are 7 if the pot reaches $3 in rake. At a value of roughly 1.6 cents each that means 11.2 cents if every hand is raked $3.

Full ring: $3/10 = .30 11.2/30 = 37%
6 max: $3/6 = .50 11.2/50 = 22%

This is best case scenario. I'd imagine the numbers are much lower and you have to get 100k FPP to get the max benefit.

OK and because Party Points are not as worthy(?) as Poker Stars FPP:s, we can assume that Party Points equal about 30% rakeback at best when you are in the gold level there and VIP-promotions usually equal 8x-15x raked bonus - Am I way off here?

The average ring game hand is 9-handed. Also, when comparing different rake-counting methods (like % of MGR vs a point-cashback system) I like to convert it to value of benefit/my actual rake paid. So 30% of MGR on party becomes 40% rakeback for me. Similarly 11.2c per $3/raked hand is over 50% for me.
