    Ok, when you a bronze star (or before the whole VPP thing) you would get 5*the rake for your FPP. So in a $100+5 HU tourney, you would get 25 FPP. Right now I'm a silver star, and I just did the math and I got 47 VPP for a $100+5 HU. So you get 9.4*rake=VPP? Seems a little weird to me. Can anyone tell me how VPP is calculated for each star level.

    I just want the VIP status button to work. I have no clue how many VPP's I have.

    Colombo218,

    If your "VIP Status" button is not working on Poker stars, it could be that you are using an outdated version. I had this very same problem at the beginning of the year and contacted Poker Stars Support. They told me that I needed to "update" and ever since I haven't had any problems.

    If you're looking for detailed info on how VPP's are calculated, the following link should answer most questions... http://www.pocketfives.com/8E2CFA23-...62948226C.aspx

    Hope this helps,
