Cliffs:

Silver and gold easier to reach
It goes bronze=>chrome=>silver=>gold=>SN=>SNE now. Chrome is just a new level, no increased benefits for old levels or anything.

5 million VPPs lifetime get a watch
10 million VPPs get a lifetime experience cathered by PS with "the person you know best" (that person and PS together organise the event)
free limousines for SNs at PCA
new thing for SN+ where you can gamble FPPs for what yearly target you're going to get. If you keep pace during the year, you get money rewards (which in total worth more than the FPPs you invested in it)

Thats bout it
basicly ****ty for platinum+

I would have preferred a tiny rake cut over that. It does the same thing (more money in low volume economy) but it does something noticeable for the grinders as well, and they grind for VPP targets anyway so PS gets the same rake from grinders.

Nothing really matters if you're SN+ unless I guess you really like watches and can reach 5 million lifetime (Yay for meca!). The FPP gamble thing will increase benefits a bit for SN+, but it means you need to hit all goals to make money, and we don't know how much profit you'll make on it yet. Could be 100 dollars knowing PS.

Meh it sucks for me personally but I dont really see the big picture benefit of giving SN+ more rb. For the sustainability of the games i think increasing rb for more casual players and giving them new tiers and goals etc is really good.

Dyboss, they could still make changes to sng rake/structure etc. This was just the vip change announcement.

Summary of the 2013 VIP Club Changes

The changes listed below are permanent, and will go into effect on January 1, 2013 (unless otherwise noted).
New Monthly VIP status & rewards: ChromeStar

A new monthly VIP status named ‘ChromeStar’ will be introduced, between the BronzeStar and SilverStar VIP statuses. The monthly VIP Player Point (VPP) requirement to achieve or maintain ChromeStar VIP status is 100 VPPs.

ChromeStar VIPs will have all the same rewards and benefits as BronzeStar VIPs, plus free entry to the new VIP $5,000 Weekly Tournament and access to the 100K Privilege Freerolls. These freerolls will also be available to SilverStar and higher VIPs.
Decreased VIP status Requirements for SilverStar and GoldStar

The monthly requirement to achieve and maintain SilverStar VIP status will be decreased to 500 VPPs. This represents a 33% drop from the previous requirement of 750 monthly VPPs.

The monthly requirement to achieve and maintain GoldStar VIP status will be decreased to 2,500 VPPs. This represents a 17% drop from the previous requirement of 3,000 monthly VPPs.
VIP Club Hall of Fame: Expanded Lifetime Rewards

The VIP Club has been presenting players who earn 5,000,000 lifetime VPPs with customized TAG Heuer watches. This program has now been expanded to include the following benefits:

At 5,000,000 lifetime VPPs, players become part of the VIP Club Hall of Fame. An engraved TAG Heuer watch will be presented to them at a PokerStars Live Event, for example, the PCA or a VIP Club Live party. In addition, they will receive live English language support over instant messenger from senior PokerStars staff.

At 10,000,000 lifetime VPPs, we’ll create an experience unique to the player who has earned it. The player will also be provided with a cell phone number to call senior PokerStars staff for urgent issues. There is currently one player in this Hall of Fame bracket: Team Online member George Lind, who earned his 10 millionth VPP in September of 2012.
Summary of additional VIP Club Announcements
VIP $1,000,000 Quarterly Tournament 2013 dates

This tournament offers a $1,000,000 prize pool four times a year. Supernova VIPs can enter for free. The VIP $1,000,000 Quarterly tourney will be held on the following dates in 2013: February 16, June 1, August 17, and November 16.

Like all VIP Tournaments, the VIP $1,000,000 Quarterly can be found under ‘Tourney’ > ‘VIP’ > ‘All’ in the PokerStars game client.
VIP Benefits at the PCA 10th Anniversary

This year at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) Supernova VIPs will be offered free transportation from Nassau Airport to the Atlantis Resort. Supernova VIPs will be sent more information about this in November’s Supernova Quarterly Newsletter. Alternatively, you can email vipclub@pokerstars.com for more details.

Supernova and Supernova Elite VIPs will have their own priority line for the PokerStars bank. Further details coming soon.
Preview of VIP Club January Promotions

The promotions below are planned tentatively for January:

In theory if online poker stays as it is, in 50 years a couple of hundred people will have the phone number .

Obv it staying as it is is very optimistic.

Can we finally have some higher stakes NLO8 hypers. It seems ridiculous that it is taking this long given their popularity at the 7$ and 3.50$ levels. Adding 15$ 30$ and 100$ levels would be ideal.
