In the past as recreational player I never really paid much attention to the VIP points programs and the best use of the rewards. Now that I am currently playing full-time I feel this needs some attention as its a decent % of overall ROI. And for the first time ever I am racking up points at a decent rate. So I thought I would ask how you all use your points, and why you think this is the most beneficial use?

Very good topic Turbulence.
Vpps are way underrated IMO.
I always come up with grand plans to save all mine up so when I amass 10000000 I can withdraw $10000 or whatever the factor dictates.
Truthfully? I always end up sattying in (or attempting to) for lame ass tourneys like the big 11.
How do you utilise yours?

Thanks for the responses guys.
Before I stopped playing on Stars I converted my points into $215 ticket that I used to play TCOOP#1 which I cashed in for ~$1100 which was v nice. Then I cashed everything out and started playing elsewhere. I did the same on Party, used my VIP points to play some Powerfest events, but not much luck there. As for 888 I really cant understand their rewards programme.
I am generating £200-£300 worth of VIP points per month. I am thinking of just cashing this out and putting in my Bank account going forward (unless the BR has taken a big hit). I was also thinking of donating 10% of the VIP rewards to charity (this is an option on Stars).

IMO trading Coins/Tickets/whatever else for T$ or cash is the best way to go. If you try to buy anything else from the store the conversion rate is usually lower anyway.
Reminds me I need to check for points/bonuses on Party/888…I must have tons saved up because I’ve playing playing on those sites for 4-5 years and never spent anything!

Thanks for the reminder, guys – just unlocked $840 worth of bonuses, lol 🙂
Awesome – glad to be of service. Perhaps you can give me a couple hours coaching for that?
