PS RELOAD!

[mason55]

Just got this popup! 25% up to $150.

Also a little blurb about how safe your money is with them.

Damn they're on the ball.

Yup, mine finally hit Neteller. I'm already getting ready to drop it into PokerStars.

As far as I'm concerned, PS might have just fired the death blow to Party & friends.

IT BEGINS!!!!!!

Lee Jones, NH Sir!

NICE. if they would just do something a bit more crazy, like multi's reload madness. That would be a big slap in the face to PP. guess it's back to work. was enjoying my time off.

[SCfuji]

never done a ps bonus before, do they expire?

No. Very stackable.

They don't have that RB stuff on PS do they.

I would be happy about a bonus I would actually be able to clear. I usually play 50NL, would also do 100NL, but those stakes are not enough to clear Pokerstars Boni at a decent rate.
I am still stacking all those bonuses. Maybe there is a time in the future where I play high enough for these (haven't actually played a single hand at Stars so far, just moving money in and out for the reloads...).

[mason55]

Never played at PS. Why is this bonus going to be hard to clear at 50NL?

[1p0kerb0y]

The timing for this bonus is impeccable. It's interesting to see the sites "slug it out" and trying to guess the reasoning behind some of the maneuvering and also trying to predict what will happen in the future.

Will Party respond with a reload of their own? Unlikely considering they just offerend account specific reloads about a week ago, although most of us got garbage from that.

How will the skins respond and when will we get their response? This is the greatest mystery of them all.

EDIT: spelling sucks

Each pot raked $1 or more is counted. That means a $20 pot is needed.

(In opposite to the $1 pot at SH games at the Former-Party-Network)

1 point for $20+ pot. but it is easy in SnGs (100% rake back)

[XxGodJrxX]

PS is in the middle of the difficulty spectrum. It is not as easy as Party or Paradise, but still reasonably easy if you play at least 1/2. Plus, there is a lower rake and you can actually do something with the points they give you.

Kruschel,

I'm a low limit player too and kind of new to bonuses. (Let me get this straight)

So you can basically deposit $600 and cash out, and still be able to keep the $150 bonus as pending?

I don't play high enough and when I do, i'll just go back and clear it.

thanks,

YoungOne

Careful, check the Terms for the bonii. I specifically looked this time around, and noticed that if you withdraw any money before clearing the bonus you lose the bonus.

Edit: never mind. Just re-re-read the Terms...if you withdraw within the bonus period but before making a qualifying deposit, you're ineligible. It doesn't say anything about depositing and then withdrawing, they just don't want you whoring them by cycling your money when you hear about the bonus.

[GoCubsGo]

No RB on Stars. Oh well. I love Stars so much. Software is 5x better than any other site. Screw you Party, I'm going home.

[RiverTheNuts]

When does this expire?? Im looking at clearing the party bonus and then popping my neteller withdraw into PS

[Precision1C]

1. PS don't expire.
2. They stack.
3. You can deposit wait 48 hours then withdraw.
4. 5 FPP per dollar, bonuses clear when you complete the bonus.
5. You get an FPP when the pot reaches: $20 at PL/NL, $10 at .50/1 FL or below, $15 at 1/2 FL, and $20 at 2/4 FL or higher.

Note to PS: To really stick it to Party have an FPP promo soon to get the new Party players hooked on the FPP freerolls to big money tournements that are so cost efficient. Although having low buy-in MTT tournaments with a significant number of free entries to a large qualifier for a major tournement entry could work well at a small price.

[kdog]

Yee Haw! The FPP's from this will give me enough for the jacket. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[GoCubsGo]

I have almost none left because I blew them all on ToP. It's in the mail. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[FishHooks]

How long is this bonus offer...just waiting for my eurobet money to hit netller till I have $600 for the full amount and dont want to miss this bonus.

[Jbrochu]

Until October 16

I just moved $1000 from Stars to my Neteller account this morning before they announced the reload. Anybody know if I redeposit $600 will I still qualify for the bonus?

[Bazuul]

sweet!

i had been holding off withdrawing any funds from pokerstars thinking they might do this. i still have $120 bonus to clear from 28 july WCOOP 2005 satellite promotion and another $120 from the 6 september WCOOP 2005 start promotion

this additional $150 will be very happy and the best part is it will clear with tourney fees at a 1:1 rate

OK so as I understand it, you can grab hold of the bonuses by depositing and then withdrawing, and the bonus simply waits there ready when you are. So, can you have, say, 4 of these bonuses all pending and then when you decide to clear them clear them all at once, or is it one-after-the-other?

Yes. I have 4 pending bonuses ($120 each) and will be adding this one shortly.

One after the other.

Acme

Thank you.

Looks like it's time to deposit at 'stars!

[Alex/Mugaaz]

This clears like a dream playing limit, if you don't play high NL it's horrrrrible.

i usually clear bonus here wihtin 2-3 days playing 3-6 high speed ... i love the high speed feature for sure. agree with rpevious posters that if you play .50/1 NL or even 1/2 nl it can take quite a while.

[J_B]

Also of note is that for anyone playing the $5+.50 SnGs they count for 3 FPPs.

[darkcore]

correct. they give you 5fpp per $1 tournament fee. they round the fpps for the $.50 up to 3fpp.

[usi34]

I can play 1/2 and 2/4 but I am much more comfortable at the 1/2 level. Will this be easy to clear at the 1/2 level?

[Beavis68]

the rake needs to hit 75c at 1/2. I think that is a 15$ pot.

[aces_dad]

http://www.bonuswhores.com/poker-stars.php

Pretty good overlay at 1/2 limit, specially for a non expiring bonus and when multitabled.

[GoCubsGo]

I'm starting to wonder if there's some credibility to that RiverStars thing. Only been playing an hour and I've seen a 2 outer sucked out on the river with 3 players all in and then a one outer sucked out on the turn after 3 players were all in on the flop. This is crazy.

RIGGED!

I think you need at least 2 hours for a statistically significant sample. At least that's what I rememeber from my college stat course.

[KramerTM]

No deposit bonus code needed or anything, right? Note that I would be opening a new account for this.

Wow. That was actually as easy as you made it sound. Guess I'm a Stars player now. Hope I don't lose more than the bonus amount trying to clear like I did on bodog. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Do you loose all the FPPs you gain during the time clearing this bonus after it gets credited to your account? Logically it would but I had to ask before I make a deposit.

Hope you know I was kidding.

I think I'm done with Stars again for a while. Yesterday I was amazed at the amount of fish, but I think all the whores just logged in today. Most tables were around 20% vpip. Lucky to get one decent fish at the table. Honestly some of the worst game selection I've seen in a while. (Haven't played Empire skins since the schism.) I think the best bet is to deposit for the bonus and clear it in a few weeks when the whores recede.

Sorry for bringing this back up again...

But I was wondering why I have to wait 48hrs after depositing?

I just deposited and the bonus is now pending, do I have to wait 48hrs before I cashout? What happens if I do before the 48hrs, bonus is cancelled?

They will not let you withdraw before 48 hours. If you try, there will be an error message. Your bonus will NOT be cancelled.

[RiverTheNuts]

eeek, ive gotta hustle... play 700 more empire hands by tomorrow midday, cashout, hope empire pays me in less than 12 hours. Play another 500 party hands, cashout, hope they pay me in <6 hours, and then deposit into Stars, clear it before next friday, withdraw, and put it into eurobet...

whew... wish me luck
