Promotions: PokerStars Frequent Player ProgramFor each qualifying raked real money poker hand you play on PokerStars, you earn FPP credits.
Every time you play real money multi-table poker tournaments that has a tournament fee, you earn FPP credits.
Every time you play a Sit & Go tournament that include a tournament fee, you earn FPP credits. Important Note: FPP credits are credited at the end of a hand.
So if you leave a table before the hand is completed, you may not receive the FPP(or FPP credits) for that hand.
To ensure that you are properly credited, please "Sit Out" until the start of the next hand, and then leave the table. 1. Earn FPP credits for cash game play First Frequent Player Point (FPP) is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches: - $0.40 for fixed limit poker games with stakes $1/$2 and lower
- $0.40 for NL/PL poker games with blinds $1/$2 and lower
- $0.40 for "1-on-1" poker games (this applies only to "1-on-1" tables, not to regular tables which have only two players seated)
- $1.00 for all other games
Second FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches: - $2.00 for all 6-max tables (this doesn't apply for games being played 6- handed at 10/9/8 player tables - just 6-max tables)
- $3.00 for all other tables
Third FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches $5.00. 2. Earn FPP credits for tournament play Five (5) FPP credits are awarded for each $1 in tournament fees paid. For example, playing in a poker tournament with $20 buy-in and $2 tournament fee, each player will be awarded 10 FPP credits.
*Note that partial Frequent Player Points are always rounded to the nearest whole number. In a $5 buy-in Sit & Go poker tournament with only a $0.50 fee, 3 FPP credits (instead of 2.5) will be awarded to each player who played poker in the tournament. In a $5 buy-in 4-player Heads-Up Sit & Go poker tournament with only a $0.25 fee, 1 FPP (instead of 1.25) will be awarded to each player who played poker in the tournament. Please note that "FreePlay" tournaments do not award FPP credits. You can play poker for fake money at our free tables,
but these poker games and tournaments are not part of the PokerStars FPP program. Tournaments: 
PokerStars was the first card room to offer a $1 Million Guaranteed no- limit hold'em tournament every week.
Each Sunday, the event gets better and better. First prize in this event is always more than $100,000. Most weeks, the buy-in to the event is $215. The last week of every month, the buy-in is $530.
Finally, four times a year, PokerStars offers a $1,050 event for the best of the best.
Every week, somebody turns one of those buy-ins into enough money to buy a house.
Even better, PokerStars offers satellites to the Sunday Million so you can get into the big event for just a few bucks. References:Pokerstars Website Pokerstars Bonus Review |
