PokerStars France has announced that it will change its VIP program to be broadly in line with the plans already published for PokerStars’ global player pool. The changes will be implemented on January 1, 2016.
The switch to StarsCoin and the issue of VIP rewards in “steps” replicate the changes to the global player pool. Rewards will be reduced at the top end, with Supernova Elite phased out by 2017.
The existence of a segregated player pool in France has give PokerStars the chance to tailor the changes to the local market, and there are some notable differences. In particular, PokerStars.FR will not stop paying VIP benefits at its high stakes cash games.
