PokerStars    100% UP TO $50    Review

PokerStars offers all new players a 100% deposit bonus up to a max of $50. Although this bonus amount is small compared to other rooms PokerStars will occasionally make reload bonuses available via email, or in the poker room client. To claim this deposit bonus enter the code "Stars50" during your first deposit.

To earn the bonus you simply need to earn 10 times the bonus amount in FPP's. So if you deposited at least $50 you will need to earn 500 FPP's.

How do you earn Frequent Player Points?

First FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:

$0.40 for fixed limit poker games with stakes $1/$2 and lower

$0.40 for NL/PL poker games with blinds $1/$2 and lower

$0.40 for ‘1-on-1’ poker games (this applies only to ‘1-on-1’ tables, not to regular tables which have only two players seated)

$1.00 for all other games

Second FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:

$2.00 for all 6-max tables (this doesn't apply for games being played 6- handed at 10/9/8 player tables - just at 6-max tables)

$3.00 for all other tables

Third FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches $5.00.

Earning FPP credits for tournament play
Five FPP's are awarded for each $1 in tournament fees paid. Fractional FPPs will be awarded in tenths.
