How long do I have to work this off? Is there an expiration date? Can't find one on the site.

Forever and no.

If i wanted to use it with SNG's how many dollars of rake would i have to contribute for a 100 dollar deposit (thats all i have on neteller at this moment due to some party withdrawl problems, and whoring another site).???

I'm playing 50 dollar HU SNGs and the rake is 2.50 but I am only getting 10 points per SNG. I guess they round down?? /images/graemlins/frown.gif

In my experience they round to the nearest whole number. When I played the $5.00+$0.50 SnG's they always credited 3 FPP for each one.

I would think you should be getting 13 points for each one. You may want to contact support about that...

Is this bonus different from the one they posted a week ago or just the same?

I cleared the full 120 playing .50/1 limit. It took me roughly 4000 hands. I was planning on playing there anyway so I was in no hurry.

Yeah I'd shoot them an email...unless they handle heads up sit and go's differently for some reason, you're not getting all your points for each one.

I hate this bonus. It clears well at 3/6 limt (about $11/hr/table) but sucks for no-limit players, since it clears at a crappy $5.50/hr/table at 1/2 no-limit (which plays as big as 3/6 limit).

I'm loving this bonus. It clears fairly well at 2/4 FR. Plus, I had never deposited to Stars before. The range of games/tourneys they have there is way better than any other site I've played on.

It's the best bonus available for SnG players. You can play 100 15+1 Turbos or 50 25+2 Turbos vig free. And you can take all the time you want.

So, if you have the money available, go and get it. If you can spare the money for 48 hours, go and get it. Right now, you might say "I never gonna do this anyway". 6 months down the road this might look different. I've accumulated $510 bonus dollars through depositing and withdrawal before I started the SnGs there. Took me a bit more than a month and I met the requirement for all 4 of them.

You can certainly withdraw from Pokerstars without clearing the bonus... you only have to wait 48 hours after making a deposit.

I'm not sure if he means this or not, but you can't withdraw during a bonus period, and then redeposit for the bonus. The withdrawal makes you inelegible.
