Question about Stars VIP $$$ bonus

[Bigwig]

I just bought a Stars VIP bonus, but the money isn't in my account yet. What's the deal? Does it take awhile or something?

You need to clear it like a regular bonus. Check your bonus status and read the fine print next time.

No, as I have pointed out in previous threads, Stars has misled you. You have to earn more FPPs (not the VPPs that you earn faster at your Gold, Silver, Plat, Nova level, but the base FPPs) in order to clear the bonus. Read the fine print on the offer.

Short answer: play a bunch more hands before you get the cash.

That's unf***ing believable. Wow, I'm insanely pissed about that.

A little bit of reading beforehand always helps.

I guess you are new at Stars. Here is another hint: The weekly "freerolls" that you get to enter since you are now Silver/Gold/Platinum/Nova are not really free.

Well, it didn't say so right here: http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/platinum/

Didn't realize that they would be that deceptive. And don't give me any [censored], because that's deceptive. I thought Stars was supposed to be the gold standard of service.

Please explain.

Oh god. They're 10 FPPs. This fact seems to really really incite a small % of 2p2ers for some reason.
