In most online poker rooms you will be added to the VIP program the moment you sign up and make your first deposit. It is simply easier for the gaming provider this way. A few gaming portals prefer that you request membership. Any player can join but the VIP program gets a more special feeling when players have to seek it out. In a VIP club you could get more than player points. It is very common that player clubs offer special prizes both as cash and as gifts that can be hardware or trips. Sometimes a big poker tournament can be reached only through the VIP club so make sure to be a member from the start.
Before you get too excited about everything your VIP poker points can offer you, you need to study the rules of the club. No poker room will give away money and gifts for free. It seems easy enough to collect points when you are playing but make sure that you will collect on the games you are playing. There might be special rules that regulate just where you will collect the points. A fast check will make sure that you know exactly when and where you are entitled to the player points and their benefits. You should also carefully note where you will be able to see the status of your gathered points.
