Aren't you contradicting yourself here??? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Maybe you mean

1) I can deposit my $600
2) They credit my bonus account for $120
3) Before I play a single hand I can withdraw $600
4) I can go back later on deposit however much I feel like depositing and go for the bonus.

I dunno - I thought Stars usually requires you to leave your deposit in there until you've generated the FPPS to clear the bonus - no withdrawal until you clear the bonus, or you lose the bonus, was what I understood from before. Maybe it's different...doesn't say anything on the requirements page , so we can assume we can deposit, then withdraw before clearing the FPP's. I'd like someone else to try it out first though...

Yes, although I think Stars has a 48 hour wait from deposit to withdrawal. But, you can definitely deposit, then withdrawal whatever you wish and the bonus will still be pending. That should answer your question Graham.

The only stip is once the bonus is announced, you can't make a withdrawal PRIOr to making a qualifying deposit. once you make the deposit though, it's alright to withdrawal anything and everything.

Read Microboy's post. The information in it is accurate.

The information in the last posts by Sarge85 and Graham is wrong.

(The only error in Microboy's post is that the last bonus four months or so ago was to celebrate PokerStars joining the WPT. It was not for the "2-millionth hand". They're presently at hand 280-million and change.)

What's the best way to fund a new Stars account, if you want to take advantage of this deposit? It looks like with Neteller's InstaCash, you can get funds in Stars in a matter of minutes. Has anyone used this? If so, any problems?
Thanks!

I used Neteller without Instacash and my account was credited within seconds. (I already had funds inside my Neteller Account).

I never gave any information in my post, MBE. Just my woolly thoughts.

And I concluded that it looks like we can withdraw before clearing the bonus. Now we're going to confuse everybody... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
