Ship it - received mine from Stars today.
For those who aren't familiar with these - it randomly generates a number every minute that I now have to enter to log into Pokerstars. (You don't plug it into your USB or anything - just type whatever number it is presently showing) So now a hacker has to steals all 3 of my my password, my pin - they still need this physical token I carry with me to access my account.
It adds another level of comfort especially if you use a wireless and are afraid of someone stealing your password via a key logger etc.

Sorry for not responding sooner but I believe its available to all upon request via email. Also it is about 50 bucks in FPP, but thats basically selling at cost if you check prices on the interwebs - this is supposedly a 5 year version too.
For those wondering, I believe its not necessary if the 50 bucks is a huge chunk of your bankroll - since stars is already top of the line with security and they already have the pin. And the risk of hack attempt is greater the more you have to steal I suppose. Stars also has a lot of other behind the scenes safeguards. For instance, my account was frozen once for trying to make a transfer from an IP address that wasn't one of my standard play locations (I was on vacation and it was unfrozen after a simple phone call). Nonetheless it is nice to have the token for just an extra level of security especially after all the stories from the LAPC.
By the way it says it takes 4-6 weeks but it took 10 days from VIP store purchase to delivery.

They haven't added it for everyone yet, you need to e-mail them and they will get it added. |

what happens if you lose your RSA securid token? |
|
| if you add tons of macro options and units and keep the old obligations like sending scvs to mine, pros will just focus less on micro which sucks imo -Floofy | |
