With Guru Play’s VIP Program, players stand the chance to be able to get up to 40% valueback on the rake you generate. This money will be paid by the online poker site and deposited directly into your bankroll. The ways to earn rake back are not limited either; you can play heads up games, cash games, and even tournaments.The amount of money you receive back as a bonus will be determined on a weekly basis by the amount of players points you earn. There are 6 VIP levels and each one has a different percentage valueback that goes along with it. VIP Level 1 has an 8% valueback rate, Level 2 has a 10% rate, Level 3 has a 12% rate, Level 4 has a 14% rate, Level 5 has a 17% rate and the Elite Level has a 20% rate. The corresponding player points that you must earn in a given week, in order from lowest level to highest level, are 50, 150, 250, 500, 1000, and 1500.If you are a hardcore grinder on Guru Play, you might also want to look into the yearly VIP program, because that is where you will be given the opportunity to receive up to 40% valueback on your generated rake. The VIP Levels are the same, the only difference is the amount of points one must earn in a year, and the percentage that they will receive back as a bonus. The valueback percentages for VIP Levels 1 through Elite are 21%, 22.5%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40%. The rates are much more generous for the yearly program than the weekly one because Guru Play wants to reward players for making them their number one choice in online poker play.
