Marketing Code for PokerStars

You would expect the leading online poker site in the world to have a bonus to match their reputation and free money fans will not be disappointed. PokerStars offer all their new customers a 100% up to $600 first deposit deal. Anyone making their first deposit should enter the code STARS600 so that they can start raking in some big profits. Not everyone has a $600 they can dump into an online poker account. Thankfully, PokerStars graciously allow the first three deposits you make over a 90-day period to count towards the bonus. This means that most players should have a chance at clearing the maximum $600.

The 100% up to $600 bonus is cleared by accumulating VPPs. These are collected by playing in cash games or buying into tournaments, and you need 17 of them for every $1 in bonus. The number of players at the table has an influence of the rate at which you earn VPPs. In a cash game with 8 or more participants, 6 VPPs are awarded per $1 in rake. The total VVPs are then split equally between anyone who was dealt cards. It’s the same process for cash games with 7 or fewer players, but instead it’s only 5.5 VPPs per $1. The points are awarded in tiny increments, so you’ll still be earning them even if the rake doesn’t reach a dollar. You also pick up 5.5 VPPs per $1 paid in tournament fees. Grinding through the whole $600 bonus can take some time. However, you have 6 months in which to accumulate all the points you need and the bonus is released in increments of $10.

There’s also an excellent VIP system in place at PokerStars. Your current VIP status is dependent upon the number of VPPs earned in the previous month, with levels progressing from BronzeStar to Supernova Elite. The main benefit of leveling up is the increased rate at which you earn FPPs, which are used to purchase merchandise or buy into special tournaments. They can even be converted into a cash, at a rate dependent on your VIP status. At the highest level you’ll be picking up FPPs 5 times faster than the standard rate. There are plenty of other advantages to progressing through the ranks, including weekly $50,000 freerolls and $100,000 monthly events. If you’re dedicated enough to reach Supernova status you can expect to be awarded free seats into major PokerStars tournaments like the Caribbean Adventure.
