Show Your VIP Friends How Much They Could Make with PokerStrategy.com

If your VIP friend joins PokerStrategy.com you could earn up to $500 for referring him through Tell-a-Friend. But it is not so easy to get VIPs to join, so today we look at our most attractive VIP offers.

Promoting PokerStrategy.com to VIPs is different than promoting to new players. Freerolls and free poker money offers won't work because the VIP already has a bankroll.

The way to attract VIP players is by showing them that joining PokerStrategy.com is going to increase their earnings at the tables:

Gemstone VIP Promotion

//cdn-origin.pokerstrategy.com/2013/04/02/gemstonesyay.pngOur exclusive //cdn-origin.pokerstrategy.com/2012/12/19/gemstone-miniicon-green-red.pngGemstone promotion gives VIPs the chance to add up to 10% additional cash back to their earn rate on top of their normal VIP benefits at their chosen room.

Gemstones are paid at the end of the year. You earn a //cdn-origin.pokerstrategy.com/2012/12/18/gemstone-miniicon-green.pnggreen Gemstone worth $25 for every 2,500 StrategyPoints earned and a //cdn-origin.pokerstrategy.com/2011/12/21/red-diamond.pngred Gemstone worth $75 for every 7,500 StrategyPoints.

There are currently six partner rooms which have opted-in to the //cdn-origin.pokerstrategy.com/2012/12/19/gemstone-miniicon-green-red.pngGemstone promotion.

Top100 and Exclusive Rake Races

Not only do we have exclusives races with our partners, we also have our very own Top100 race which is based on StrategyPoints at several partner rooms, meaning VIPs can switch rooms during the month and still earn points towards it at either room.

Unlike a lot of rake races, at PokerStrategy.com you are usually only playing against other members, not the entire network, so as such they are much easier to make it into the money (Though it needs to be said to win one still requires a huge amount of volume).
