+## Placeholder
+
+This plugin supports `PlaceholderAPI` on `Spigot`. It exports the following variable 
+`%fastlogin_status%`. In BungeeCord environments, the status of a player will be delivered with a delay after the player 
+already successful joined the server. This takes about a couple of milliseconds. In this case the value
+will be `Unknown`. 
+
+Possible values: `Premium`, `Cracked`, `Unknown`
