# Frequent Player Points
## What is FPP? 
A program of points accumulation based on the user participation in tournaments and vaults. These points can be used for some benefits in our application.
## Points Accumulation
There are two ways to accumulate points: by playing our tournaments (most common way) and making the first deposit in one of our vaults.
## How to use the points
Currently, the users can use FPP with the following benefits:
* **Early Vault Withdrawal**: Users can use FPP to withdraw a % of their deposits with NO PENALTY. Yes, no penalty! This is exactly what makes us a different protocol. The percentage may vary, from 1% to 15% (or even more) depending on how many accumulated points the users have. More details will be covered in the [Vaults](/explore-papparico/vaults.md) section.
* **Tournament Tickets**: The tournaments flagged with the PAID / TICKET entry type are fully compatible with FPP. Users can spend their FPP to register for these tournaments. For instance, a tournament which displays the entry price like  accepts either Papparico Token or FPP as registration. An important point about FPP: This is not an additional token in our ecosystem, hence is not tradeable. It's a virtual number held for each user in our Smart Contract.
* **Bullish Pools (Coming soon)**: Although we're still implementing this feature, we're going to introduce it briefly: Bullish pools will work as a cashback. There will be some pools of different tokens exclusively for FPP and users will be able to use their FPP's to exchange for any token in the pool.
## Points Calculation
**Vaults ->**
New users earn up to 5 points by making a first deposit in our vaults according to the table:
| Vault | Points |
| --------- | -------- |
| 1 Month | 1 Point |
| 6 Months | 2 Points |
| 12 Months | 3 Points |
| 24 Months | 4 Points |
| 48 Months | 5 Points |
One important rule to clarify: Only the very first deposit counts and any subsequent deposit don't accumulate additional points.
**Tournaments ->**
Each tournament has specific FPP rewards, see the prize pool below as an example (30 FPP):
## FPP Page
To access the FPP page, check balance and collect points, navigate to main menu, Tournaments -> Frequent Player Points, or simply hit the icon  located in the main menu bar. When the icon is displayed with an exclamation yellow sign, it means that the user has points pending to collect.
Frequent Player Points page (When the user does not have points to collect)
Frequent Player Points page (When the user has points to collect)
It's worth mentioning some aspects:
* When a tournament finishes and the user has a prize to claim (qualified for a prize), the action of "Claim Prize" also collects the pending points
* When a tournament finishes and the user does not have prize to claim (not qualified for a prize), the points need to be collected manually in the FPP page
