Your status lasts until the end of the following calendar month or until you qualify for a higher level. At the end of the month, the VPP counter in the Cashier will reset to zero and you begin to qualify again.

Each level has different perks including: access to exclusive freeroll tournaments, milestone bonuses, faster FPP accumulation rates up to 5x for Supernova Elite players, exclusive merchandise in the FPP store, and many other benefits.
