Sick timing. Just as I begin a month of serious MTT grinding (I've even downloaded PT3, I'm THAT serious!), Stars have decided that UK players can get loads of free upgrades by earning FPPs in May. weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

| it looks too good to be true imo. They just give you 60k points for getting to 1200 in a month? Or is it just that they add it on to your yearly total? If they just give it to you, then I could run at -25BB/100 in 100NL and still play profitably. No maketh sense. |

It's VPPs that they give you, plus you get upgraded to platinum when you hit 750. Pretty cool. |

| I still don't get how it makes sense for them to basically give you $1k worth of free points for making 1200base points in a month. I know stars promos are good but I remain skeptical. |

You do realise it's VPPs and not FPPs they're giving away right? |

Right, they will upgrade your VIP's levels, they are not giving FPPs away. |
