# How Do I Qualify for a Deposit Bonus?
# Only your first deposit during the Bonus Period is eligible for the deposit bonus.

If you cash out any amount from your PokerStars account during the Bonus Period, but prior to making a qualifying deposit, you are ineligible for the deposit bonus.

Please remember that your bonus offer does expire and that you must earn the required Base Frequent Player Points before the expiration date to earn your bonus. To check your bonuses expiration date click the Cashier button in your PokerStars game software.

Thanks you Stars for giving us pissed off FTP players a good reason to switch.

I know this forum is cluttered with deposit stuff:

Whats the easiest deposit method for this bonus? never used anything besides neteller.

MicroBob 05-11-2007 02:44 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
double VPP's rocks. And for 12 days even.

Guess I'll be playing even more over the next several days.
Might make the difference for me trying to make Elite for all I know (but I'm still ay behind.


In other news - I just made a cashout earlier today.
It was before I knew about this promo and POSSIBLY before the promo had officially been announced.

Pretty sure I'll still get the deposit-bonus though.

MicroBob 05-11-2007 02:47 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
woo-hoo!! Verified.

just received my cash onto my paytru. Turned $600 right around and still got the bonus.

Great timing by me to do the cashout right before the promo started!!

Is anyone else not impressed by the promotion like me?

Everything seems watered down from what they have done in the past except for the Sunday Million (that is awesome).

Sure the milestone hands are cute and who wouldn't want a shot at the 100k, but id rather have a better deposit bonus.

"darn, theyre giving us a deposit bonus, tourney overlay, double FPPs, and milestone hands"

FWIW, double FPPs = 50%+ RB for me..

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
I'm really pumped about this bonus. Deposit bonus is basically free money, since you can spend your FPPs anyway after, and I'm playing there anyway. So they give everybody who's actually a player $150 for free, double fpp's and vpp's which is even more free money, and then the actual free money in milestone hands and tourny overlays. That's a lot of free money.

you're retarded

this promotion is AMAZINGILY AWESOME [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Double VPPs and FPPs is tight....it'll make getting another $3,000 in gift cards next month happen [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] This is BY FAR the best part of the promotion. I'm going to see if I can play 5-6K hands a day during this promo [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Deposit bonus is standard, but very nice. Been awhile since one.

Sunday million is cool...I'll make sure to play in it.

Milestone hands will probably not affect me at all, but you never know, it's fun to have a "chance" at a big score.

On the Sunday million on May 20th, they say they are changing the payout from 15% to 25%. Basically they are just making it more of a flatter payout, right?

mbpoker 05-11-2007 03:19 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
right, but also adding 250k.

Looks like it, yes.

TylerD 05-11-2007 03:29 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
I guess most of the $250K will go to the flatter payout.

I might play my first proper MTT in years.

And I guess when it gets close to 10 billion hands, I'll be trying to 36 table the .05/.10 cent tables.

BradleyT 05-11-2007 03:46 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
There was another thread a lil while ago that said about how many hands were dealt per day or hour - anyone remember that number?

BillytheKidd 05-11-2007 03:49 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
I imagine there will be many attempting 36 tabling, imagine the beat of timing out on the winning table before the winning hand is dealt!!! Looks like I'll be trying to grind my way up a bit at Stars. Woohoo, glad I got that paytru set up in case this happened.

I am at least glad they have some promotions for the MTT and STT players. For the last x# hands promotion they did nothing, so i'm glad we at least got something, i guess.

Yeah I almost forgot: to score the $100k you have to WIN the 10 billionth hand. The rest of the players get 10k.

Reminds me when I was playing live one time in Wendover, NV when I went to the bathroom. I came back and the bad beat jackpot had been dealt at my table. Fortunately they still paid me my share of the rest of the player's take: $280.

I was going to have to scramble to make Supernova before I head to Europe. This makes it incredibly easy. I love you Pokerstars.

I'll also probably play my first Sunday Million ever.

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
so i purchased the 1500 vip bonus yesterday, does this mean it will clear twice as fast now?

idrinkcoors 05-11-2007 04:05 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
So I guess everyone at the table will know when the 10 billion hand arrives? If so, I guess pot odds will justify chasing the inside straight draw huh?

it will probably be announced over announcements, and everyone will go all in at the table except for one donk/idiot and the railers will berate him for an hour or so.

BradleyT 05-11-2007 04:09 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
Yeah they pause the table and a host comes into the table. Then someone goes all in and 3 people fold and everyone in observer chat calls them retards. Then J5o wins moniez and the people that folded say, "whats going on?".

BillytheKidd 05-11-2007 04:14 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
LOL - I guess with 100,000 added any hand has pot odds. Would be crazy sick if it was dealt at a high limit table with deep stacks (I dont even know what the high stakes games are like, but I was thinking like 100K stacks)

for cash games, 12 tables is the maximum allowed.

The milestone prizes on every millionth hand will be smaller on the .05/.10 tables.
Prize is bigger if you play higher.

But it looks like every table will can win the max for the big one.

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
I'm gonna try to figure out how fast this thing is movin.

We just hit hand # 9,860,300,000 at 4:15pm EST.

BradleyT 05-11-2007 04:26 PM

Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details
 
4:24 (stars cashier time) for hand 9,860,400,000

So 100K hands every 9 minutes with 75,000 players online.
