Stars VIP Wild speculation

[nation]

Will I be able to buy a $1500 bonus at supernova for 100k fpps, then after I accumulate another 100k fpps, buy another one? Or is it a one time deal where I can just buy one then no more? Also, will they keep the cash bonuses throughout 2007 or are they done at the end of 2006? Whether or not they allow me to convert my fpps to cash bonuses directly affects whether I play at ftp or stars, because I absolutely need the 'rakeback'.

ok, so i guess there would be no reason to play at ftp unless stars decides to discontinue the 1500 bonus.

Can we just assume that the affiliate is legit and gives the players the cash without any problems.

Let's say there are 3 players, of all different vip levels goldstar, platinum, and supernova. And these players ONLY want to use their fpps for cash bonuses. Comparing these players to the 27% FTP rakeback equivalent players, would would be winning out and getting out more value?

Assumptions on these stars players:

-The player at goldstar and platinum can only play enough to stay within their respective levels for various reason.
-They are all moderately winning players.
-FTP rakeback affiliate is legit and FTP player equivalent cashes out their RB regularly.
-Everyone in this scenario are NL cash game 6 max players.


I just want a simple answer to this question. Thanks.

Please rid us of the freerolls. Give slightly better benefits, but the freerolls offer absolutely zero incentive. I will say if FullTilt had the same game selection I would be there in a heartbeat for the RB instead of "points".

500k VPP Reward Bonus is a $5,000 VIP Reward Bonus for 50,000 FPPs

Is this a typo, or am I misunderstanding it?

A $5000 bonus reward for 50,000FPP equates to a dime per FPP.

If this is correct, will it be a one-off reward for achieving 500,000 VPP. Or will it be regularly available in the VIP Store?

Thanks for the sneak preview.

I would estimate that Stars Supernova will be better off. Platinum can be close, depending on game limits, and FTP player will be better off than Stars Gold.

That ignoring any freerolls, reload bonuses, and transaction fees, where Stars doesn't deduct them and FTP does.

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