Pokerstars Bonus WCOOP!

For people who have plenty of funds in their accounts already, what's the rational for requiring an additional deposit to receive the bonus? Fees are incurred on both ends, which seems silly if the deposit will just be withdrawn anyway after 48 hours.

OT I guess, but I agree, and think the poker rooms have to start thinking about this. The days of low fee money movement are gone for the moment at least. The transfer costs to the customers and to the poker rooms may be more than the poker rooms get in increased rake. After all, those who don't have the funds already onsite, and want the bonus, will deposit anyway.

And it's not like the game is BJ, where the more money the customer has onsite, the more they will lose to the casino. If you deposit an additional $600 for the max bonus and lose it all, PS is still only getting a piece of that in rake, not the whole $600 or anywhere near that.
