They don't have any... I wish.

i guess they dont need an incentive for players, they have so much action over there.

its not that, its just that they are trying to build a client base of real poker players. they dont care to sign up fish who hop from site to site looking for good bonuses and fancy step sit n goes. the logic is that long after the whole poker fad dies down, and partypoker can no longer entice people with a free 50$, stars will still be around, populated by people who actually play poker.

hmm your post is more logical than mine blaze, i like it lol

I made a deposit in december and got 25% bonus.

Apparently they run some bonuses around holidays and whatnot.

Yes PokerStars had a 25% initial deposit bonus for up to $100, the bonus code's STARS25. You need to play every 10 raked hands to cash out each bonus dollar within 60 days.

well... I went to b-o-n-u-s-wh-or-es.com to make sure... and it looks like sometimes they do a reload bonus.... but not any deposits./

you misunderstand. i mean play poker as opposed to 'gamble on cards'. the difference in mentality is indicative of the seriousness with which the two types of players approach the game. the 'gamblers' will stop playing when its no longer cool or fashionable, but the poker players were playing before moneymaker got lucky, and will be playing long after yahtzee or pingpong or whatever becomes the next big thing.

the pokerstars deposit bonus was for their 1 billionth hand promotion. I got the bonus too. It's been over since they hit theyre 1 billionth hand
