Accnt Spcif

damn. i was holding my breath while scrolling down to see what the FPP requirement was. its 15x, so this is only worth it if you're already a pokerstars regular.

pretty stupid i guess, to just give money to your regulars, while not making it beneficial enough to attract more than a couple stupid new players.

can anyone confirm that stars allows you to deposit, then withdraw, and not lose your pending bonus?

I was planning on putting a few thousand on there to kick things off at the midstakes.


Considering i was expecting no reloads, this'll be a-ok.

Thanks.

go on...

and i have received no email or pop-up with a bonus, so hopefully that code works for everyone.

It is accnt spec, no email no bonus.

that is rather annoying, I am a gold member and I didn't get the damn bonus..... It is pretty stupid not to give it to everyone since at 15x it is more like rake back then a bonus.

Ya from what I understand it is aimed at big ex-party players who have a dormant PS account and have player >15-30

It 's good they are going after those guys but regulars will feel left out.

They are getting some hell over this and I hope to see a general bonus soon.

yeah I saw a thing at 2+2 about it, there are a lot of people that are upset.

I am new to Stars, but in regards to future Stars bonuses, can I withdraw and redeposit immediately to get the bonus? If not, how long must I wait? Do I have to have 0 in my acct when I deposit to get the bonus? Thx for help.

to confirm, as posted in the other thread, the response to my email asking if i could do the bonus even though i didn't receive their email:

I emailed Stars to ask if i could do the bonus if i didn't receive the email:

Hello SexMachine,

Thank you for your email. We are currently experimenting with a variety of
promotions and bonuses to determine their effectiveness. To do so, we did
select a particular group of players to try out this particular bonus. All
players who were eligible for this promotion received an email advising
them of this fact. As you were not on that list, unfortunately you are not
eligible for this bonus.

I am sorry, but we cannot offer you this bonus. Any future promotions for
which you are eligible will be sent to you via email.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Regards,

ScottW

note - the response took under an hour, so i still :hart: stars

LOL at your screen name.

what's so funny about jdawkins21?

No you can't cashout and re-deposit when there is a bonus, keep part of your roll off stars for this.

I just sent Stars an email telling them how disappointed I am with them limiting the bonus to a select group of players.


It'd be nice if everyone let them know what kind of slap in the face this is to players who have been playing there for years.

I agree, I was pissed. I have paid them 10k in rake in the last few years or so....
