Bonus Requirements
When you sign up at Poker Stars you can clear a 100% match bonus up to $600. To release the $50 bonus you must earn 500 Frequent Player Points.
The amount of FPPs you earn per hand depends on the stakes, or rather, how large the rake becomes. If you participate in a hand in which the rake is below $0.40, you’re awarded 1 FPP. When the rake becomes $5, you’re awarded 3 FPPs.
In tournaments you get 5 FPPs per $1 paid in entry fees.
Review
PokerStars is an independent poker room with its own platform and player base. Despite that, the site shows the world’s highest player-traffic numbers. During peak hours, player traffic exceeds 20,000 in the cash-game section and a whopping 150,000 in the tournament section.
PokerStars is especially famous for its tournaments, which attract several thousands of players every day. The site has spawned 2 WSOP Main Event winners – Chris Moneymaker and Gregory Raymer – and is without a doubt very popular among elite players.
The software is superb with nice graphics and design. The playability is close to perfect and the site is very user friendly.
PokerStars' game variety is the best in the industry and there’s never any problem finding whatever game you wish to play. Beside the standard games: Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Seven-Card Stud, PokerStars offers 2-7 Triple Draw, Razz, Five-Card Draw, H.O.R.S.E and H.O.S.E. Table stakes vary from rake free micro limits to high stakes games.
If you play poker tournaments, you need to open a PokerStars account. You can participate in everything from freerolls with great value and satellites for live events like the WSOP, to the extremely popular Sunday Million and WCOOP (World Championship of Online Poker).
