Pokerstars is going the way of Spearmint Gum and doubling your pleasures at the poker tables. Starting today, they are offering a shot to get your VIP status kick started towards a new high with double VPPs (1,500 for SilverStar, 4,000 for GoldStar, 10,000 for PlantiumStar every month). The daily VPP doubler is good on all ring games and sit and go's (except heads up) and could get you closer to that iPod from the their VIP store.

Here's a slice of the announcement from PokerStars (click here for the promotion page) :

PokerStars is the world's best poker site, so it's only right that we give you the best rewards and promotions! This month you can get twice as much as before with PokerStars 2X - this is what happens when the biggest poker site in the world gets even bigger! And because we're rolling the promotion out across many different events, everyone can get in on the deal.

All you need to do is keep playing in our regular tournaments and cash games to be in with a chance of winning big. We'll only be announcing each event just before it starts, but you can expect everything from double VPPs, double the chances to win and even double the size of the pot in our cash games!
