The Stars site talks about a number of Internt sites they are responsible for. So, when you guys refer to PokerStars, what exactly do you mean?

Are these prizes won or the equivalent buy-in totals?

[/ QUOTE ]

Prizes won. The buy-in totals that I've used FPP's for would be $810 (2 $215 Sunday's and 1 $380 satelitte). There are no buy-in's associated with all of the freeroll's listed.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can't include money won with sat seats, just the buy ins, that defeats the entire purpose of the calculation.

[/ QUOTE ]

I respectfully disagree. Without the "freeroll" (i.e., using FPP's for the buy-in) into the Sunday Million, I never would have entered. That cash is a direct result of the VIP program. The purpose of the calculation is what have I gotten back out of the Stars VIP program. The answer is 35.6% effective rakeback at the Platinum level.

I respectfully disagree with you.

Under your rakeback calculation method, if you won the Sunday Million that would mean your rakeback % was like 30000 % or some random #.

I play low-limit limit ring games and I am a supernova. The total "rakeback" value I recieve from the VIP program is far far higher than 28%.

But that's not the point of this thread. The point is that Stars Rocks!

That is correct. If I never would have played without the VIP program, how could I not credit the proceeds as a benefit of the VIP program. Explain that to me and I will agree with you.
