a guide to the Supernova VIP Level at poker stars in 2014
Updated In December, 2018 - The Supernova VIP level at Pokerstars is based solely on your yearly VPP levels. Supernova is a very prestigious tier at Poker Stars. It takes quite a bit of work to make it here. Anyone who can maintain a Platinumstar VIP level should easily be able to reach Supernova by the end of the year. The main issue is when will you reach it? You need to leave yourself enough time to redeem all of the free money Supernova players are eligible for. Pokerstars gives you a 2 month grace period during the following year after you reach Supernova status. I will go into detail on how this works below. The Milestone Cash Credits alone offer players with about $23,200 in real money (not bonuses). In 2010 they cost 50,000 FPP's each, in 2014 they only cost 1 FPP. Now that you are earning FPP's 250% faster than new players and you are not dropping 50,000 FPPs on each Milestone cash credit you will have hundreds of thousands of FPPs at your disposal.

2014 Pokerstars Supernova benefit guide
If you can maintain a Platinumstar level at Pokerstars then there is nothing stopping you from becoming a Supernova player. You just need to earn an extra 833 VPPs per month on top of the 7,500 minimum for Platinumstar. If you did that though you would reach the Supernova tier on the last day of the year which would minimize the benefits you could claim unless you maintained the Supernova status after the 2 month grace period at the beginning of the next year, learn more on this below. The Supernova benefits are just too great so you should allow yourself as long as possible to enjoy them. If you reach Supernova in October you wouldn't actually have to play a single hand of poker until March of the following year. I wouldn't suggest doing that as you would miss out on the FPP multiplier but after a long hard run to reach 100,000 VPPs I think you should enjoy a little stress free time playing as much or little as you want. The more pressure free time you can give yourself the better. I will go into that later though, let's talk about these benefits.
As I've stated elsewhere you will be able to take advantage of the Bronzestar, Silverstar, Goldstar, Platinumstar and the special Supernova benefits. You will receive free entry into the $100,000 monthly and $1,000,000 quarterly VIP tournaments. The VIP Rewards Bonuses have grown considerably as well when compared to the $650 available to Platinumstar players. Supernova players at Poker Stars can buy two reward bonuses: $1,500 and $4,000! Then there is the $23,200 in Milestone Cash Credits. There are seven of them in total and they range from $2,600 to $4,200. The price for each is now 1 FPP, compared to 50,000 in 2010. That means you can claim $23,200 in Milestone cash credits for only 7 FPP's! You can also use your FPPs to buy into the most prestigious live poker tournament in the world, The World Series of Poker. By this point you would have earned a total of $1,200 in Stellar rewards, all for only 20 FPPs. - Read our 2014 Poker Stars review for information on our special bonus package.
I reached supernova status, now what?
It doesn't matter when you reach the Poker Stars Supernova level, you will stay in this VIP tier for the rest of the year. What about after that though? Many players finally earn the 100,000 VPPs towards the end of the year, many of them in December. Don't worry, you didn't put in all of that work only to receive the benefits for a a couple months or less. Pokerstars wouldn't do that to a loyal player. They will let you have your Supernova membership until at least the end of February of the following year.
How do I maintain my supernova status in 2014?
Getting there was definitely the hard part, maintaining it is the easy part. You will only need to earn 7,500 VPPs per month to maintain your Supernova status during the following year. This is the same requirement for the Platinumstar level. It doesn't matter how much you play from the time you first reach Supernova until the end of February the next year. Starting in March you will only need to average the 7,500 VPP's/month. Pokerstars will even allow you to not meet the requirements one month.
