My FPPs exceeded the million mark in 2008 and so I began turning all those Frequent Player Points into cash during this year. I have just now purchased my last Pokerstars Cash bonus of $4,000 which left me with just 2,000 FPPs. That was the fifth cash bonus I ordered in 2009 and when I collect the required 28,000 hands, I will have turned all my FPPs into $20,000 this year. That will surely compensate the fact that Pokerstars don't offer a rakeback. On the other hand those FPPs mean $0.016 per FPP and if you do the math you'll find out that you eventually get paid 30% of the commission back. That is a lot of money considering my Pokerstars commission for July was more than $5,000. And that is only for cash games.

I have recently bought the $4000 VIP Reward Pokerstars bonus and converted 250,000 FPPs into cash. When I bought this poker bonus as a Supernova, I knew that each Frequent Player Point would earn me $0.016. However, my poker account wasn't credited with the money instantly as I thought but instead I needed to earn 28,000 Base FPPs more in order to add the cash into my poker account. That translates to roughly 50,000 hands playing 400NL 6-max No-Limit Texas Hold em, which quite frankly appeals to poker addicts.

As if Pokerstars.com hasn’t been my favorite poker room, they continuously prove me they are at the top of the competition. I received the following email from them today:

We have deducted 50,000 FPPs from your account and applied the 200,000 VPP level reward bonus. Once you have earned 10,000 base FPPs, the bonus money will be released to your Pokerstars account. Please note that you have to earn the FPP within 120 days.

Thank you for being a Supernova on PokerStars.

Mind you, I haven’t yet reached 200,000 VPP required for the bonus!
