PokerStars Reload Bonus Frequency
PokerStars will offer a PokerStars reload bonus 4-6 times each year. These reloads will vary in deposit percentages, maximum amounts and, sometimes, clearance rates. A PokerStars reload is usually offered in the months preceding the World Series of Poker, the World Championships of Online Poker [WCOOP] and a few other times around the year.
PokerStars Bonus as a Percentage of Deposit
The PokerStars first deposit bonus percentage is 100%. PokerStars reload bonus percentages vary from reload to reload and will always be clear when the reload is offered.
PokerStars Bonus Expiration Terms PokerStars initial deposit and reload bonuses always have a clearance window of six [6] months from date of deposit.
The VIP Reward Bonuses always have an expiration of 90 days from date of purchase in the PokerStars VIP Store.
PokerStars Bonus Stackability PokerStars understands the nature of bonuses. They realize that players may have the opportunity to have access to more than one bonus at a time. PokerStars allows players to "stack" bonuses at any time they are available. Players should note, however, that bonuses need to be cleared in the order that they are received and it is up to the player to make sure they don't overload their play capacity and lose a bonus.
PokerStars Bonus to Table or Cleared? Bonuses at PokerStars are released in one lump sum, not incrementally. This means that a player who is working on an initial deposit bonus of $50 will need to earn 500 FPPs before the bonus is released.
Bonuses at PokerStars clear in a variety of fashions depending on the terms of the bonus itself. Currently, the PokerStars first deposit bonus of 100% up to $50 clears at a rate of $1 per 17 Frequent Players Points [FPPs]. This means that once you earn 500 FPPs, you will have earned your entire bonus of $50 and that will be moved into your real money account.
When PokerStars offers a reload bonus, they usually require players to earn 20 FPPs per bonus dollar before the bonus is released. For instance, if PokerStars offers a maximum reload bonus of $200, the it would require the player to earn 4000 FPPs before the bonus would be released.
Players who purchase VIP Reward Bonuses in the PokerStars VIP Store release these bonuses at a 7FPP to $1 ratio.
PokerStars Bonus Tournament Clearance PokerStars players can clear their bonuses by playing, tournaments, satellites and SnGs. Players will earn 5 FPPs per $1 in fees paid and fractions are included. For instance, a player participating in a $10+$1 tournament will receive 5 FPPs for the $1 in fees paid. Another player in a $5+$0.50 will receive 2.5 FPPs for the $0.50 in fees paid.
This equals a 50% of fees being returned while chasing a pending first deposit bonus. For a standard reload the return rate is 25%. Players will receive almost 72% of their paid fees in FPPs when they chase a VIP Reward Bonus.
PokerStars Bonus Withdrawal Restrictions Players at PokerStars can withdraw their money at any time. Player making a PokerStars withdrawal should be advised by ITH that a 48 hour window between deposit and withdrawal should be observed to allow PokerStars to handle both transactions without problem.
Network Bonus Chase Rating PokerStars is sole-proprietary software. This means that PokerStars does not share their software, players or tables with other pokersites. You can be assured that all players at PokerStars are playing through the PokerStars client software.
