PokerStars bonus

For a while, PokerStars sign-up bonus deal used to be a rather stingy one, at least a lot flimsier than the industry standard. The 100% match on new player deposits up to a maximum of $600 has pretty much caught up with the trend though. The fact that Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars’ main rival has rolled out Rush Poker to a great reception may have something to do with it.

Once they made their first deposits, players have to start playing in real money cash games and tournaments to earn out their bonuses. The bonus is released in $10 increments. For every such $10 batch, players need to generate 170 VPPs (that means 17 VPPs/bonus dollar).
The PokerStars bonus is valid for 90 days.
