No, no scam. I was actually credited with the 1200 VPP's today (21st). I went on pstars and it said the same thing, also got an email saying they upped it. Looks like im special... or just a randomly chosen name outta millions :-p.
In all honesty, im quite certain that it is a marketing thing to get me playing back there. Im not sure if they keep track or whatever, but ive been playing online poker pretty frequently, just not at their site. I imagine i was flagged for this promo cause of it.
Hell, itll prolly work though... they have prty good VIP program, definately rivals with tilt... might even be better. Good toureys, and the WCOOP is comin up soon..... damn, they got their hooks in me!!
