Hey guys, question abut converting Stars FPPs and VPPs into rakeback. I had rakeback with Full Tilt so it was easy for me to calculate what I'd receive each week in RB - now I have no clue. I randomly unlock milestone bonuses and collect a bunch of FPPs but I don't really know how that translates into cash. In my days when I used to really grind away at Stars I was told the bonuses you could buy with FPPs were rip offs so I'd do things like get the $1000 electronics store gift certificate instead cause it was a better value.Can anyone clarify? Because of the accelerated VIP program this month I am currently a platinium star for whatever that's worth.
Check FPPpro.com and see if that answers your questions. Otherwise, just post what's left to clarify (the site should do a better job than me, I used it as a rough calculation for our deal of the month PokerStars offer calculations).
I'd never even heard of that site. Explains everything. Not quite as easy as just figuring out what 27% of my rake paid is but hey what can ya do until FTP gets their shit in order.
Great.What % did you come up with for yourself?
22% for plat star + 7.3% stellar milestones (assuming 15,000 VPPs are collected by end of year) = 29.3%Only problem is that I hope to just be playing the $60s by end of year, so it would take a while to achieve the 250,000 FPPs required for the $4000 bonus. It'd be tempting to cash out some FPPs long before then... or just be disciplined and think about it as a once a year rebate like you get for your tax return.
