Pokerstars Bonus Code

PokerStars is by far the largest poker room online. This distinction brings many great things for players, including great promotions, loads of traffic, games of all types and varieties, and tournaments starting every few seconds. At Stars you won’t ever be sitting around waiting for a tournament because there are sit’n’go tourneys starting every second and multi-table tournaments scheduled for every few minutes.

PokerStars ‘Sunday Million’ $1.5 Million guaranteed tournament is the largest weekly guaranteed tournament in online poker. There are also plenty of other scheduled tournaments running during the week with very large guaranteed pots. The turbo takedown is another great PokerStars promotion, where players can compete for a share of the $1 Million guaranteed prize pool, while only buying in with FPP’s.

The turbo takedown runs every month and it gives players the chance to win up to $100K without investing anything but FPP’s. PokerStars is the room of choice for a lot of online poker players because due to their player numbers they can offer the greatest range of cash games and tournaments out of all the online poker rooms.

First Deposit Bonus At Pokerstars

PokerStars offers a matching bonus of 100% up to $600 on initial deposits. In order to receive the bonus you have to use PokerStars bonus code “STARS600” when making your initial deposit on the site. To release your bonus, you must earn FPP’s by playing in PokerStars tournaments and cash games.

In cash games you earn 1 point for every hand that generates at least $0.40 in rake at ring games up to the $1/$2 level and 1 point for every hand that generates $1 in rake for all limits above $1/$2. A second point is awarded if the rake reaches $2 at 6-handed tables or $3 at 8 or 9-handed tables. A third point is awarded anytime the rake is at or above $5 per hand at any table size or stakes. In tournaments you earn 5 FPP’s for every $1 paid in tournament fees.

The bonus is then released as a lump sum when you have earned 10 times the bonus in FPP’s. For example, to release a bonus of $100 you need to earn 1,000 FPP’s. You have 6 months to clear the bonus, which is much longer than most poker rooms allow. If the required amount of FPP’s has not been earned after 6 months, the entire bonus is lost. The PokerStars bonus is much smaller than most other online poker bonuses, but it is also a lot easier to clear and for this reason it is still definitely worth taking advantage of.

Tournaments

Daniel Negreanu is speaking the truth when he says, “PokerStars has tournaments starting every second”. With PokerStars massive player base comes a massive tournament selection. Whether you are just starting out with a very small bankroll or you are a seasoned poker professional, PokerStars has games for you. You can find tournaments from under $1 right up to $10,000 in some special events.

PokerStars is the place to be on Sundays for the scheduled tournament player. PokerStars has 3 huge guaranteed tournaments, beginning with the Sunday Warm-Up that guarantees $750K, followed by the huge Sunday Million with at least a $1.5 Million prize pool and finish up with the $300K guaranteed Second Chance tournament. There are many satellites running to these huge guaranteed events.

PokerStars is also the place to be for sit and go tournaments. There are constantly sit and go’s of all game types and buy-ins. You can find sit and go’s with buy-ins as little as $0.10 and as high as $5K. You will have no problem finding a game on PokerStars no matter what time of the day it is.

Competition

Since PokerStars is so large it is home to a man different skill levels and player types. Many professional players do play at PokerStars because it is the largest room on the internet and the easiest place to get action. That being said many players start out at PokerStars because it is the most well known room in the world and has the largest marketing budget to attract the new poker players.

Software And Graphics

PokerStars has quality software with a nice easy to navigate design. The lobby was recently updated to a classy, black design, which in my opinion, is a nice improvement from the old green and red layout. PokerStars does not use animated avatars. Instead players are encouraged to upload a photo that will be placed beside them during game play. PokerStars tables are resizable and there is no limit to the number of tables you can play at one time. As Hevad Khan, a new PokerStars sponsored pro proved in an old YouTube video where he played in over 26 sit and go tournaments simultaneously, PokerStars is a great place to multi-table.

Support

PokerStars currently only offers email support. It would be nice to see PokerStars improve their support by adding live chat or phone support in the future.
