I am in the UK and received this email today;- For a limited time only, take advantage of one of our biggest ever deposit bonuses and get $10 free, plus up to $100,000 in cash added to your first deposit!
To qualify for the Free $10 + $100K Mega Bonus, make your first deposit of $20 (£12/€18/CAD$25) or more using bonus code ‘MEGAFIRST’. You’ll receive your guaranteed Mega Bonus Reward within a few minutes, ranging from free $100K All-in Shootout tickets, to a massive $100,000 in instant cash.
I might give this a go,I don't play on Pokerstars as have always had issues with the software on my laptop,I think it is a security issue but it sounds like a decent offer. You will know if I win the 100k- my BRM location will say Bahamas.

Of cause they are interested in getting people to deposit in their accounts. Hoping, that ones the money has hit the site, it will be used to actually play there. Getting fresh money into the games is the main problem for the rooms at the moment.

I believe that the majority though will just deposit to see if they won anything and then they will cash out. That is happening in many sites. Not too many of these players will use the money for actually playing there. But i may be wrong here

< ...My money is just sitting in Instadebit doing nothing, when it may as well be sitting in PokerStars collecting these bonuses,....So I'll definately be depositing the $25 each week until the end of the promo...!
< Sure would be real nice to hit a BIG prize...!!!

Not sure. I think ever since they started even taking sportbets they acting all out on getting your money in as much as they can. It's a bit desperate and ridiculous to be honest.

I see some are doing well with this promotion. Especially xgcsnippy. Nice tournament win there.
When you are a freeroller, you are a freeroller. Not to many of these will be distracted on playing with that money. But now with the new additions in games you may be right.

I played the all in tourney today i started and won the two first game. I was waiting and opened the lobby to see where it was going and staid there not to long and came back and saw a note that i had finished in the 5K. So while i was looking i played two more hands and never saw them won one and lost the other. So i won $5.00.

I was right about the freerollers after all. But i see from icequeen's post there is a catch to it with the withdrawal and you cant participate next week if you cash out. Probably to stop you from depositing and cashing out with the same 25$ chunk

I kinda missed out on this promo so far with moving house taking over my life....I'm off right now to deposit $25 and see what those lovely people at Pokerstars may wish to give me in return. I will also deposit $25 next week and make it worthwhile.
