Although Pokerstars is currently the largest and busiest online poker room they do not offer rakeback, instead they offer an in-house VIP reward system based on points.
The points are known as Frequent Player Points (FPPs) and they're designed to reward the most loyal players with cash and gifts of the player's choosing. With the FPP system being tiered it means the players who contribute the most rake to Poker Stars will earn the points faster.
It is very unlikely that you will be able to get Pokerstars rakeback in the future due to the success of their current plan, by choosing FPPs over rake back most players will be sacrificing approximately 5% in payments. This is often overlooked, the maximum return requires you to be in what is known as the "Supernova Elite" VIP group which very few players manage due to the excessive number of hands you need to play. Your level is determined by the number of VPPs you earn in a month, you earn different levels of FPPs for each VPP at each level.
The Pokerstars VIP Club is made up of the following tiers:
