Hey Scotty can you offer a little more insight into these? What VIP level must we reach to qualify for one or both?

So nothing for anything less than 500KVPP's? That sucks.

I think (and hope) that Scottyy was just giving a couple of examples. It's clearly not a full outline of the program.

He said "some details" so I'm guessing there's more. Pretty happy about the free $4250 though.

The VIP program is a work in progress, with your help it will improve with every step we take. Thank you for everyone that played with us in 2006, looking forward to working with you in 2007.

Thanks for the preview Scotty. Looks interesting.

So if you reach 1 million VPP's in 2007 you get $30k in bonus-prizes straight up it appears.

Guessing this includes a PCA entry, maybe an EPT and/or WSOP entry, etc.
Sounds promising but I think 1-million is a bit out of my range. 20k VPP's EVERY week all year is probably too much for me.
i might be encouraged to start the long journey once I see more about the $30k prize-package. But I'm doubting I'll have much of a chance.

Obviously there will only be a very few players who can get this. High-stakes Heads-up and SNG types I'm guessing.

I do think 500k is attainable for me if I really cranked it out this year. $5000 cash bonus looks alright.
I'm still in wait-and-see mode for determining how much I'm goin to want to play there. But at least I have some sort of an idea.

Hoping those VIP freerolls stay on Saturdays since that works best for me. If they're on Sundays then I might be pretty much screwed and if I'm losing that much value it will affect my decision.

could someone please clarify that if you have made 500k vpps, then u can use multiple useages of the 50k fpps -> $5k, or is this a one time only thing?

[manub]

I think it's very likely to be a one-time bonus thing.

Yeah, there's really no way in hell it's redeemable more than once.

Current SN rate of 3.5fpp per vpp is 1.75mil fpps which would be (35) $5k bonuses. $175k would be nice, but not realistic at all.

...and I probably just got leveled.

[MicroBob]

Yes, it's pretty obvious that the $5k bonus is a one-time thing.

And really this is like a $4200 bonus.

Because the 50k FPP's you have to spend would otherwise be worth $800-ish.
