PStars FPP screw-up?

Hock_ · #1 10-24-2006, 02:05 AM

On PStars this afternoon I played 2400 hands of 6-max, mostly 50/100. As a "gold" VIP, I get double FPPs, which means that in any hand where $2 is raked (2 points under the new system, right?), I should get 4 FPPs. Based on that I expected to get at least 7000 FPPs for the session, probably more, but I only got about 4000. Did anyone else out there seem to get too few FPPs?

Uh, if you played 2400 hands, how many were raked? I would imagine all hands that reach the flop are raked fully, but how many reach the flop? 7000 FPPs would say 1750 raked hands. Is that right? From there, I have no idea :-D

Maybe you played only 3 handed some of the hands, than the rake ist capped at 1$.

You have the roll for 50/100 and are worried about FPPs?

I think you get the bonus FPP's at the end of the month, so you should only have your baseFPPs in the account now.

Are you sure about this? I just moved to Stars and my FPPs > my VPPs, with the separation occuring when I became silver, then gold.

Sorry, I geuss it's weekly

From the VIP FAQ;

[ QUOTE ]
Bonus FPPs that you accrued through the VIP FPP program. For instance, suppose you are a SilverStar VIP. SilverStar members receive a weekly 50% FPP bonus. So if you earn 400 FPPs in a week, we give you 200 bonus FPPs. Each of the 400 FPPs that you earn gets you a VPP; the 200 bonus FPPs we give you do not.

It's not weekly, its real time. Say if your a goldstar and the rake reaches $3, you get 2 VPP's and 4 FPP's

It's real time...I can confirm that much, no idea why your points and Fpp's aren't matching

The bonus FPPs for being Goldstar are weekly so in your above example you would get 2 VPPs and 2 FPPs straight away and an extra 2 FPPs at the end of the week.

However with the new changes if you play at 1/2 or below 6 handed you should see an increase in your FFPs/VPPs in real time as you now get them for lower rakes.
