PokerStars has announced that they have important planned changes to their VIP Club where the rewards centered around monthly and annual statuses, will be replaced sometime in 2017 with a new, combined rewards program for poker, casino and sportsbook.

At the beginning of 2016, they made changes to the VIP Club to improve the overall poker ecology with good results. More players are seeing a flop, recreational players are depositing more, and new players are playing more. The new rewards program will reward players for their activity across many of our products and brands where available; whether it’s poker, casino or sportsbook.

From January 1, 2017, Supernova annual status will become a monthly status until the launch of the new rewards program. Anyone who achieves Supernova in 2016 will retain their status until such time as the new program is implemented. PokerStars sent an email to all Supernova status players and all players who have earned at least 45,000 VPPs in 2016 to inform them of these upcoming changes.

PokerStars is trying to avoid the 2016 situation where many players complained about the announcement date. Altough they haven’t decided what the changes will be, they want to let know the players that they will announce them when possible.
