For those of you guys who don't know, PokerStars runs a VIP scheme where players must put in high levels of volume in order to start picking up rewards. If you miss out one month and don't achieve enough you get dropped back to the beginning and don't receive any rewards (discount on the rake you pay).
Naturally deployed soldiers will suffer greatly from this. One minute they are at home grinding a ton of hands and close to making top VIP status then the orders come in and they are preparing to ship out. All that hard work grinding towards SuperNova status can be wasted.
It's definitely something I'd support given the sacrifices the men and women who sign up to defend the many countries represented in the PokerStars player community make. However it seems unlikely it will be honoured by the site that puts so many hoops in the way of getting good VIP rewards in the first place!
A good short term solution for American soldiers for example who are looking to get decent rewards without any risk of losing out whilst on duty would be to sign up with a room that offers top level VIP rewards. At This Poker Week we currently recommend Merge Network's 30% Rakeback on Black Chip Poker. If you sign up through our link you get VIP payments and bonus all on top of rakeback (not deducted!). No need to qualify for rewards, no need to worry about downgrades while your away. Most people think the games are easier too!
You can try the software for free as we run a freeroll every 4 hours where $50 is up for grabs and no deposit is required!
