Just cashed out from Party where I made the fumes I had left there into $616, will be a pleasure to deposit that at Stars now.

WTF -- all of my old uncleared deposit bonuses are GONE from my pending bonus window. Did they change their bonus clearing policies when they added VIP? This is uber lame.

I wonder what the chances are that I'd be able to cashout of UB in time. Doesn't sound likely with reports of people waiting 9 days. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I've never done a PS bonus before... can I deposit and then withdraw the $600 and still have the bonus there?

is there a bonus code or just make the deposit? As soon as I post this, I'll go to PS to look. Disregard, I see it now at the site. Thanks for the heads up.

If i don't have an account at PokerStars would it be possible to create one today, deposit a small amount and then deposit again to take advantage of this reload bonus?? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that you would do this bonus with your first deposit (Stars doesn't have a signup bonus or anything). So don't just do a small initial deposit, or you'll get a small bonus.

If I cash out from Party today, will the funds hit Neteller in time to qualify for the bonus by Monday night? What if the money was just deposited via IGMPay into Party last night?

Can this be cleared at the micro NL tables? Does rake have to be $1 for a point or can you get partial points for less rake?

It says that to clear it, I need 600 "Base FPP." Is a base FPP the same as an FPP? Or is it the same as a VPP? (btw, I have platinum status, so 1 VPP = 2.5 FPP)

Not sure about IGMPay stuff, but party Neteller withdraws are usually same day. It said 2-7 hours on the confirmation screen.

Anyone know the playthrough reqs on this bonus? I'm at work now...

Hopefully Party will be offering a March bonus...

This one is still very worth it but Partys are easier to clear and I don't have to deal with Stars' crap interface.

See, I said last week "The next Stars reload bonus will be next Thursday." And it was. HA!

Clearing Stars on micro tables is tough.

Pot must be $10 at 0.5/1 and $15 at 1/2 to count.

I had some data somewhere that around 13% of 0.5/1 and 27% of 1/2 hands reach the threshold. That may be out of date but I'm sure it's close.

2/4 gets an FPP every raked hand which is $20. A bit more than half usually get there.

As far as I can tell, no partial FPP's granted.

Stars is a place I don't have an acct at yet. Is it correct that their bonuses never expire? So if I create an acct by monday and deposit $600 I get the full 120 bonus and can withdraw some or all of the deposit I make after 48 hrs and the bonuse is there unexpired until I get around to it?

I have predicted for like three months that the reload will be next Thursday.

Give credit where credit is due, people.

not sure, but they have their own check processor (which is free to use and funds are immediately available) if you look in the deposit section.

A base FPP is just like one VPP. The FPP bonus you get for being platinum doesn't matter, so as far as the bonus is concerned its like youre a bronze star.

If someone were playing $50 NL, is it worth signing up to take advantage this bonus and about how long might it take to release it? Thanks.

Can you accumulate parial FPPs or does the pot have to reach $1.00 (assuming NL) in order to receive 1 FPP?

At 2/4 6-max, I'm seeing 40% of the pots raked. Not sure how much different it is at full.

does anybody think its a bad time to go to pokerstars if everyone will be there doing this new bonus? The bonus is good until March 13 but doesnt expire, I wonder if it would be better to wait a while before going after it.
