Easy answer. You can't. If anyone says you can, they are lying  Very Happy

Stars have their own reward system.

Yes sadly no rakeback on Pokerstars, they have a VPP scheme that is meant to eventually be better than rakeback if you reach certain levels.

damn, well i'll just wait then to clear my bonus, then transfer back to full tilt

pokerstars VPP scheme is actually pretty good tbh!i've all ready had $10 last month off them and that i think is pretty close to 27% and i know that at higher levels ($50+ ??) that the VPP scheme is better than 27% rackback, pretty good reason to hang around imo!

how does that work?... how did you get the $10 from them?

after a while your VPPs add up and then you can go to the VIP store and use your FPP (its the spendable part of the VPP scheme) and buy money in the store, you can only buy it in chunks and only so much a year if your only bronze or silver level (if you play alot and move upto gold+ you can by very large chunks)

plus you can buy TV's etc in the store, which is the same as spending your rackback money Razz

I think you have to be super nova elite to make it better than 27% ( I haven't actually done the maths, but it's a rough estimate) You'd have to be putting in a sick amount of volume to get super nova at the $50s.

It's no where near 27% playing low stakes.

Hi guys have a question here

Know there isnt rakeback at pokerstars, but the vip program you can turn your points into gifts and cash bonusses and so on bla bla bla.

I play at full tilt happily with the 27% rakeback but i have seen the action on pokerstars is much higher there.

Is it more profitable too play there with more action there and

can anyone give me an idea how much an bronzestar

                                                             goldstar
                                                             platinumstar
                                                             supernova

worth in (rakeback) is for each level if you turn your fpp's in cash bonusses?

I think it's quite hard to hit the higher star levels playing HUSNG's.

Maybe some of the Stars grinders can let you know what worked for them?

and i have this list on my pc

The rakeback for all the VIP levels are:

Bronze: 9-10% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Silver: 14-15% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Gold: 19-20% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Platinum: 24-25% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Supernova: 33-34%
Supernova Elite: 48-50%

Looks like you have to be at least a goldstar to get the same rakeback as full tilt.
