Pokerstars Changes Its VIP Club Program Again

In a recent email sended to PokerStars players, the online poker giant lists a number of changes that are coming to its VIP Club program in 2017.

While most of the changes were already known to most players, one new big chance was announced - as of July 1st, 2017, "StarsCoin balances will expire for players who have been inactive on all Stars platforms (Pokerstars and BetStars) over a 6-month rolling period".

Here’s an overview of next year’s VIP Club changes:

•     Monthly VIP status rewards and requirements will remain unchanged
•     Supernova VIPs will earn 28% in rewards
•     Players who achieve Supernova status in 2016 will retain Supernova status until the launch of the new rewards program in 2017
•     For players who don’t achieve Supernova status this year, Supernova will have a monthly status requirement of 10,000 VPPs
•     When the new program launches, existing VIP statuses will be replaced by the program’s new reward mechanisms
•     An announcement of the new rewards program launch date will be made at least two months in advance
•     Effective July 1, 2017, StarsCoin balances will expire for players who have been inactive on all Stars platforms (PokerStars, Full Tilt, PokerStars Casino, BetStars) over a 6-month rolling period

PokerStars says it will include more details regarding the new loyalty program, including how it will work and the timing of the launch in 2017 in their next announcement.
