Quick question: Can I just withdraw $600 from my account now and then re-deposit sometime during the reload bonus period and be eligible for the bonus?

My Stars BR is healthy at the moment and it doesn't need any fresh funds. Is this a doable way of getting the bonus for cheap? Ty ty

I think you're good if you get the deposit done before the reload period starts.

Which it already has.

So does that mean this strategy is no longer good to go?

I wouldn't. E-mail support for a definitive answer, but I doubt it'll work.

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.

I doubt it will work either.

Does the money you deposit have to be in your account the entire time while the bonus is still pending or can you do a quick deposit and withdrawal (time space: 2 weeks or less) and still get the bonus?

This is ABC bonus whoring 101 I know, but a bonus newb needs to know. I've done the stars bonus a few times now but I just kept the money in my account for the whole time. Now that I don't need the extra BR, it's time to up my bonus whoring game.

Only in the sense that it will completely and utterly not work.

Do this instead...deposit six hundred then withdraw 1200. Amounts to the same thing eh?

Just deposit for the bonus, wait 48 hours and withdraw it later. You can't withdraw and then deposit for the bonus.

Has anyone done it yet? does it actually have an expiry date?

This promotion ends September 19th and you have six months after your first deposit to earn all the FPPs you need to cash out your bonus.
