What Live says goes for ACBL points.
What BBO will keep for "BBO points" is the 1.00.
Likely you played in a "special game", be it charity, or last week's online STaC equivalent, or... or you were scored one-winner.
BBO doesn't know anything about that, so it awards the 0.1/table that is "standard" for a club.

VACB (Virtual ACBL club) games are awarded ACBL Masterpoints (normally Black points), with a 50% bonus awarded above&beyond normal game scoring, which is based on # of tables played. # of boards played, whether the game is an Open or Limited, as well as a few other factors.
I say 'normally' because ACBL has also occasionally announced a week where the points awarded in VACB games were given in other pigments (Silver, Gold, ...), and with different % bonus. For example, recently there was a week of 100% (2X) Silver.
What you see in Live for Clubs is your final total - BBO results are displayed with a message telling you to go to Live for Clubs for the final official awards earned.
BBO Points are not recognized by the ACBL - you can only accumulate BBO points in games where BB$ are spent, and BBO uses them to calculate a 'rating' to tag your user name. Click on your Account-Profile-Masterpoints for their detailed explanation of their rating system and tags.
