VIP Programme levels are changed on the first week of each month.
Players are eligible for their first VIP Level upgrade after playing in two calendar months. For example, a player who signs up at Better Poker on January 4 will only be eligible for a VIP Level upgrade on March 1.
Players are assigned to a VIP Level based a weighted Better Points averaged over the past three months: 50% of the previous month, 30% of the month before and 20% of the month before that.
For example, if a player earns 10,000 points in January + 10,000 points in February + 10,000 points in March, the calculation is 10,000 x 20% (January) + 10,000 x 30% (February) + 10,000 x 50% (March) = 10,000. This weighted average determines the player's VIP level for April.

|---|---|
| Bronze | New Players |
| Silver | 2,500 |
| Gold | 10,000 |
| Platinum | 25,000 |
| Platinum Plus | 60,000 |
Point Accumulation at Ring Games
Better Points are awarded to players for each hand in which they participate, as long as the hand is raked, no matter whether the player contributed to the pot by placing a blind or a bet, or whether the player folded. Read more about our Ring Game Rake Structure.
