star coins are given after a certain amnunt of VPPs earned. To get them you have to earn VPPs 20/50/.... (someone above gave a link).
If you play tourneys - your VPPs are given
after tourney.
IF you play cash - you get after the hand. If you are playing micros it can take a feww GOOD
hands to see the orange line moving(but if over over it it will show % of the step)
