100 bucks.... 20% bonus aka $20.

600 bucks (max) 20% bonus aka $120.

So for your case, to earn your extra $20 you need to earn 400 VPP points.

I deposited $400 to play rings (up to $680 now ^^) at 12:31 AM last night, well this morning technically, so I missed it by what, 12 hours?

I emailed stars and see if they will hook me up with a bonus on my account.

Dang! Isn't it usually only 10 FPPs per dollar? I just deposited 2 days ago and I was mad until I saw this. Oh well.

I once cleared 500 F/VPPs in 7 weeks playing mainly .50/$1 Limit games.

Eh how long it takes to clear VPP's really depends on 1) the limits you play and 2) how many tables you play.


To give you a rough idea I've been playing 6-tables of $25 NL full ring for a while tonight and i've cleared umm... 193 VPPs at the time of this post.

1007 more to go!

/cleared ~1700 in one week (7 days) back a few months.
//yes I was sorta physically attached to the computer.

If playing ring games, you'll need the pot to reach $8.00 to earn 1 F/VPP (only for hand that you play in). In my experience, you'll pretty much never reach that at the .05/.10 level, and only sporadically at the .25/.50 level. To really start accumulating F/VPP's, you'd probably have to start playing .50/$1.00 more often, especially if you're going for the full $120 bonus. If only going for $20 or $40 in 3 months, you'd probably be ok playing .25/.50 and/or $3+ SnG's. That's the route I'm going.

I have now played 1200 hands on NL 100 and I have earned 620 Base FPP

So at NL 50 you have to play about 1200 *2 = 2400 * 4 = 9600 hands to get the bonus (that is if you are goldstar like I am , if you are bronzestar ore silverstar I think you must add between 2-4000 hands extra)


The normal hands per hour is among 60 hands per table.
( I dont now what the hand pr hour is on the fast tables)


The bonus was harder to clear than I thought.. I thought it would take me 3 hours to clear but no... It will take me in total about 1200*4 = 4800 hands...

That is among 8 hours for me if I play 8 tables at once in NL100.

You are right that lower limits = more hands needed to clear bonuses but bronze/silver/goldstar doesn't make any difference at all.

You have to get VPPs to clear a bonus. silver/gold star status increases your FPP earn rate. At bronze star 1 VPP = 1 FPP. At silverstar 1 VPP = 1.5 FPP and at gold 1 VPP = 2 FPP.

VPPs are what matter for clearing the bonus so if you need 1000 VPP's to clear your bonus (nice round number) you have to earn those 1000 regardless of your status. ALL status levels have to earn those 1000 VPPs (earned in exactly the same way for all). The only difference is if you are bronzestar you get 1000 FPPs from clearing your bonus. If you are silverstar you get 1500 FPPs, etc.

The bonus requires you to get VPP not FPP, it doesn't matter which Star level you are at you get the same VPP as everyone else.

Edit: I was too slow :(

This is bad logic. Double the blinds does not equate to double the VPPs.

Someone linked to a 2+2 thread that used this:

25NL - 0.125 VPPs/hand (125 VPPs per 1000 hands)

50NL - 0.23 VPPs/hand (230 VPPs per 1000 hands)

100NL - 0.38 VPPs/hand (380 VPPs per 1000 hands)

So depending on how many hands/hour you play (multitabling helps in this regard) you can figure out how long you have to play. Alternatively, the lowest limit HORSE games on stars are very soft and because of how loose people play in limit games can get you VPPs very quickly. I 4-tabled and was making about 100/hour. These have 5 cent ante's for the ante games and 25c/50c blinds for the hold 'em and omaha games with the small bets of 50c and the big bets of $1.

Deam,.,.Thats why I thought the bonus was easy to clear since I thought it was FPP.......

Thanks for clearing out the numbers zachvac.And I have never tried horse, but it looks promising when you profit that much on it...

I can't believe they made this one 20 VPPs per dollar of bonus. I'm very busy for the next few months, so I'm not even going to try it, I won't be able to clear it. If they gave the bonus if chunks, like FT, then I could. Oh well, maybe next time.
