Damnit, forgot to deposit. I was going to deposit $300 and earn 2400 FPP points to get $120 pending bonus..Oh well, anyone else deposit there? I guess I'll deposit @ action poker.

Hey, i did exactly the same thing that you mentioned. deposited 300 bucks to clear the bonus at a peace of 13 ponts a day that are so easy to get.... it's a very nice bonus that could only have been better if it was clearable in pieces like it happens on full tilt

Bonus really THAT good. I mean, you get a 40% bonus at party any day you don't close the clientsoftware fast enough. OK, the points needed to clear these bonusses are calculated a bit erratic. But it is doable.

Ya, they should really give the bonus out in increments. Would totally suck if you deposited $600 and just missed clearing it.
I was going to play 4 $5 sit and gos at once and move up to $10 once I get in the groove.I figured it'll take me about 100-150 hours to work off but its not bad cause 180 days to do it. Hopefully they bring back a reload bonus soon cause I like playing there.

I just like playing at Pokerstars, it was my first pokerroom lol. I just like the sngs, plenty of time for skill and a little less luck. I seen a 300% deposit bonus at VC Poker, only problem was I couldn't deposit and they don't have moneybookers.
Ya, I like to test out the pokerroom first, another thing I like anout Pokerstars is they give 60 sec time bank and beeps real loud when I have 15 seconds left because when I get in the zone in one hand, I lose track in the other hands.

Pokerstars in fact can let you play a little bit longer than other rooms because it's the richest site... the give you 60 seconds to thinkg, extra 60 seconds if you got disconnected in sng and 240 in ring games! I just wish the lower the rake for 2$ sngs... 10% is too much

Yep 10% too much on sngs, i also dont think the give back enough, as much as i like pokerstars, they tend to faver the big BR in rewards, and screw over the micro players, you could spent $100s in rake and get no points at micro, not to happy with there reward system, but business is business and if we/I dont like it well i know what i can do.................. but its just so easy, loads of tables, never wait, fast games, pros and cons i guess.

Yep. For bonus hunters pokerstars is definetly not the right site. And some of the networks (Ipoker, OnGame) have a large volume of players too. You can sign on to a lot of those skins, so you don't run out of juicy bonus offers.
As a plus stars has a nice software and offers a few games other rooms don't. Razz as the prime example.

I also play on the ipoker network but if okerstars doesn't give good bonuses to micro stakes player the ipoker network doesn't give bonuses at all unless you play big stakes.. it's bonuses are pretty much impossible to clear for me

Compare the terms of the different bonus offers at Ipoker carefully before you decide where to play. They can vary widely. 50-60 points per dollar is average. A lower number of ppd can be found, but you also have rooms with 100 ppd. These bonusses suck.

Yes, the promotions may vary slightly for mdifferent rooms of the same network, but the fact is that the ammount of games to play is far away than possible to play
