Double FPP/VPP is not lame, it is quite awesome. And this is a freaking free promo, stop complaining.

I think it's awesome as well, great way for me to earn goldstar this month and just in time to play the 100k freeroll.

Plus the fpp WSOP freerolls that are coming up soon, tres cool.

But one problem is the hand watermark which won't include MTTs or SnGs (which is my territory), and only involves ring cash game players. Oh well, still happy with the promo.

This is my easy way to Platinum status. Thank You Pokerstars!

This bonus is definitely awesome!

I missed the part about hand promotion applying to cash games only. So what happens when the lucky hand is dealt in SNG, nothing? They seem to have the same numbering as cash game hands.

When we did the 1 billion hand promotion the system would not deal a milestone hand on a non-ring game table. I can only presume the same applies this time round.

Now if someone can help me with an image -- much appreciated!

What sucks about all this, is that if they were anywhere close to releasing the new store, you would think they would've waited and done it with this promotion. They still have their old store linked in the articles, which makes me think they still arn't close to the release. GIVE THE PLAYERS A REASON TO WANT TO ACCUMULATE FPPS!
