first time deposit pokerstars
 

Hello,

Am plannin on making a first deposit on pokerstars and want to get the best bonus avalible.
There is the match bonus and I could go for the books offerred by 2+2.
Can anyone suggest anything else I could do before depositing that will maximise the bonus/rakeback etc.

I'm pretty new to this.

I will play NLHE, prob play mainly tournaments; couple per week. And accasionally cash games .10/.25c.

Thanks!

I also just took Stars through PSO, although I chose StoxPoker as the gift as I feel I get the best value for that. I think you need to play about 2k hands of NL25 to clear the PSO bonus, and 2k more to clear the Stars deposit bonus. Not sure how fast you get points for tournies.

I don't see this anywhere on PSO, I would love to take advantage of this offer. The only thing I see is the one free gift.

PSO points = cash, more or less.

Yes but you only get 9000 pts which equals 90 dollars for AP. Is this what you were referring to?

I checked out this site. Looks awesome. Only problem I am having is finding out how you can get dollars for Pokerstars. I see gift certificates for Absolute, Party, Titan, as well as best buy and amazon, but nothing for Pokerstars. What am I missing?

Perhaps they pay less for US people signing for PS? At least I remeber hearing once that US people got a slightly worse bonus for PS..

They removed the PS gift certificate from their store.

The traditional route is to take the cash ($120) as a Party Gift Certificate - i.e. the money is just dumped in your Party account - if you have one of course.

US players get 9000 pts from PSO for Stars.

How much I need to deposit to get max bonus with pokerstars? I heard there is a lot of games available so maybe i'll try this site.

100% First-Time Deposit Bonus

From now until the end of 2007, if you make your first-ever real money deposit, PokerStars will give you a 100% bonus up to $50.

So that would be $50 to max out the bonus.
