NICE, free $96

zachvac · Jul 21, 2008

or is it the bonus will go up to $240 (meaning deposit = $600)? That'd be even sweeter.

their normal reload bonus is 20%, up to $600 deposit... I read it as deposit $600, get a $240 bonus

which is indeed sweet!

Yay free monies

robwhufc · Jul 21, 2008

Can you just withdraw $600 and then redeposit?

beardyian · Jul 21, 2008

Free Money almost as good as cake

BelgoSuisse · Jul 21, 2008

I see you need 20 VPP/$ to clear that bonus. What rakeback % does that make?

Irexes · Jul 21, 2008

Here's the T&C for it,

PokerStars.com - 40% Deposit Bonus

So it's a no to the withdraw then deposit.

beardyian · Jul 21, 2008

Phew, close call i took a load out yesterday (20th) so i should be able to still qualify :top:

Depends on what games you play, amount of rake and amount of vpps you earn vary by game. Also note that while you're clearing the bonus you also get to keep the fpps that can be used for other things.

That would be 50NL full ring for me.

From my numbers, you'll need to play a little under 21k hands to clear a full $240 bonus, which comes out to a boost of 1.15 PTBB/100. Not sure what rake is at that level.

KingCurtis · Jul 21, 2008

lol @ a previous thread where everyone was dissapointed to hear there wasn't one....now we are flipping out!!! Glad this came about I'm depositing, either this thursday or Friday.....game on

That's very nice. I think it's a little more than the rakeback i get on FTP. I guess i'll have to add move some funds back to PS, then.

It's always nice to see reload bonuses. Too bad I don't need to make a deposit lol.

you can always deposit to get the reload bonus and get your money out once the bonus is cleared. I always keep part of my bankroll on neteller for this purpose.

Yup, if you are playing sufficient hands anyway, it makes sense to stick in another $600 and take out $840 after in a week or so. What you shouldn't be doing is depositing $600 JUST to clear $240. The risk you'll have to take (20,000 chances of losing $50) and the rake you'll pay will make $240 seem like a drop in the ocean.

Agreed, don't just deposit to clear the bonus, but if you're already playing enough anyway, it's literally a free $240.

damn, echecks won't let me change the bank account, got no money in my account at school. Emailed Stars support about it though, so hopefully it gets resolved soon.

WOW, just got a response from Stars, they've removed the information and I can now input my other account. It took exactly 3 minutes to respond, chalk another one up to Stars support.

If you use the check feature of Stars, it's very easy to email Stars and ask them to clear the fields so you can enter different account info. I've done it a couple of times and they are usually very quick to respond.
