According to the Full Tilt Poker website, any player who achieves a 100-day rolling average of 500 Full-Tilt points per day will become a black-card player and receive access to the prestigious VIP level and all of its rewards.

"All Black Card members can also convert points directly to cash at a rate of $1 for every 200 Full Tilt Points, with the option to do so manually or automatically on each Edge Rewards payday. In addition, they will retain all the benefits enjoyed by players holding Diamond status, the second highest Edge rewards level."

In addition to these benefits, those players topping the black-card leaderboards at the end of each qualifying period will be awarded a six-month sponsorship contract. The contract will include 100% cashback on all play at FTP throughout the duration of the contract. Players will also receive either FTOPS or MiniFTOPS buy-ins to the value of $20,000 or a clearable bonus worth $20,000. It's still unclear how many contracts will be awarded to players.
