Here’s a short summary of the differences between the old and the new VIP program at Pstars which affects the HU SNG rakeback:
Please notice that I always calculate with the Supernova change (1,000 FPPs = $16) and with the net profit for the milestone-bonuses ($800 less for the 50k FPP you have to pay for).
Previous rakeback
- 25 VPPs/$5 rake
(87.5 FPPs or $1.40 per $5 rake -> 28% standard rakeback as Supernova) - +$200 as 100k VPP milestone-bonus
- +$1,200 as 200k VPP milestone-bonus
- +$2,200 as 300k VPP milestone-bonus
–> 33,7% rakeback on average
2010s rakeback
- 27.5 VPPs/$5 rake
(96.25 FPPs or $1.54 per $5 rake
-> 30.8% standard rakeback as Supernova) - +$1,200 as 100k VPP milestone-bonus
(including the $1,000 “VIP Stellar Rewards“) - +$2,600 as 200k VPP milestone-bonus
- +$2,800 as 300k VPP milestone-bonus
–> 42.9% rakeback on average
(44% for 400k VPPs and an increase of 0.9% for each 100k VPPs you can clear afterwards until Supernova Elite – 1mio VPP)
Including all bonuses the previous rakeback for the first 100k VPPs was 29%, now it is 37,4%.
($20,000 rake to pay, 28% standard rakeback+$200 as milestone-bonus) vs. ($18,182 rake to pay, 30.8% standard rakeback+$1,200 as milestone-bonus)
I think I’ll reach the 300k VPP without any problem this year. For 300k VPPs the rakeback increased from 33,7% on average to 42,9%!
($60,000 rake to pay, 28% standard rakeback+$3,400 as milestone-bonuses) vs. ($54,546 rake to pay, 30.8% standard rakeback+$6,600 as milestone-bonuses)
Rakeback is a very big part of the HU SNGs profit. Last year I would have earned $18,382 until I would have reached the 300k VPP milestone. This year it will be $23,400 rakeback for less games than last year (cuz of the VPP increase for each HU).
For me, it means approximately an extra $5,000 rakeback. Especially considering my monthly average profit of at the moment ~$5,000 the new rakeback deal is indeed pretty sweet! Not to forget the new quarterly $1,000,000 FREEROLL for Supernovas!
Sounds pretty odd and sad, but hopefully I will reach this year the profit which PStars does with me while playing at their platform…
yes supernova rb at stars is great now. It’s a pitty FTP does not have an equialent system. I love FTP, but when my 10K raeback deal wih FTP is finihed, i might only play on stars. RB is so superkey at 220+
Rakeback is approx. 1/3 of total profit in HU SNGs, so it’s definitly very import!
I received the FTP rakeback-offer of 10k as well, but didn’t accept it, cuz they offered it to my “mother’s account”…
Cheers!
