| Virgin Poker Rakeback Alternative and VIP Program
Playing at will NOT allow you to earn rakeback in its conventional form. Instead it will allow you to earn a ton of eccentric rewards that you cannot get anywhere else, which are equivalent to conventional rakeback. Going on a Kayaking trip through the Amazon or an expensive dinner for two at an upscale restaurant are not out of the scope of possible rewards. Playing at Virgin Poker also allows you to participate in two differing VIP systems: one being called the Aces Club, and the other the Kings Club. As the name would suggest, being part of the Aces Club is much more exclusive than belonging to the Kings Club.

Virgin Poker Rakeback VIP Levels
While playing at , you will earn what are called V*Points when playing for real money. V*Points are very important, because they determine which of the two VIP Clubs you belong to. You need to earn your way in. Your rate of earning V*Points depends on the type of game and the stake you are currently playing, which basically comes down to the amount of rake you are contributing.
Here’s a description of the clubs in Virgin Poker’s VIP Club:
Kings Club: Earn 1000 V*Points in a single month and you will automatically be admitted into the Kings Club! Member ship of the kings club means that as soon as you earn 1000 V*Points in one month’s time, the number of V*Points accumulated for that month will increase by 50%, and so will the amount you accumulate in the next two months!
Aces Club: Earn 2000 V*POINTS in a single month and you will automatically be admitted into the Aces Club! Once you achieve this, you will get more benefits than what you got as a member of the Kings Club, most notably the rate at which you earn V*Points! Once you enter the Aces Club, V*POINTS earned that for month and for the next two months will flow in at double the rate!
After you earn your V*Points, you will have to of course spend them. Your V*Points can be spent on a variety of things (and stuff!) that Virgin Poker offers.
First things first: REMEMBER TO ACTIVATE YOUR V*POINTS ACCOUNT AS SOON AS YOU FIRST LOG IN. JUST CLICK THE BIG BUTTON ON YOUR LEFT HAND MENU THAT SAYS IT WILL DO THIS. SIMPLE.
One way you can use your V*Points is to fly around the world! You can exchange these at the rate of 1 V*Point for 1 Flying Club Mile.
Available destinations include:
22,500 V*Points One way flight from London to New York.
50,000 V*Points Round trip Economy Class ticket from London to Las Vegas.
75,000 V*Points Premium Economy Round trip ticket from London to Cape Town.
80,000 V*Points Round trip Premium Economy trip from London to Tokyo.
100,000 V*Points Upper Class round trip ticket from London to Hong Kong.

The Virgin Poker VIP system is truly unique, in that it offers rewards not available anywhere else. Its value can be estimated to be equivalent to between 20% and 30% of standard rakeback. But the unique rewards you get, such as booking experiences, mile high travel club, and vouchers combine to make it a truly unique and worthwhile experience. And on top of all that you also get standards like a Rake Race thrown in too.
You cannot go wrong with the VIP system.
