Poker First Deposit Bonus - 100% Signup Bonus for PokerStars.com

How Do I Qualify for a Deposit Bonus?
You are eligible for a 100% deposit bonus when you make your first-ever real money deposit at PokerStars during the qualifying period.

If you cash out any amount from your PokerStars account during the Bonus Period, but prior to making a qualifying deposit, you are ineligible for the deposit bonus.

Please remember that some bonus offers expire and that you must earn the required Base Frequent Player Points before the expiration date to earn your bonus. To check whether your bonus expires, click the Cashier button in your PokerStars game software, and then click the button that reads "Check My Bonus Status."
Where Can I See My Bonus?
Once you make a deposit, you can view your pending bonus in the cashier window in the PokerStars software. The number of Base Frequent Player Points (Base FPPs) you must earn to collect the bonus can also be found there. To view these items, click on the 'Cashier' button. Once in the cashier window, simply click the button labeled "Check My Bonus Status." More information on the FPP program can be obtained at Free Online Promotions and Freerolls.
How Do I Earn My Bonus?
To earn your deposit bonus you must earn a designated number of Base FPPs. The amount Base FPPs you must earn, and the maximum bonus you may earn, may vary by promotion.
Example 1 - You have a pending 100% bonus with a $25 max and a 5 FPP requirement. If you made a $25 deposit ($25 bonus) you would need to earn 125 Base FPPs (5 x 25) to release the bonus.

Example 2 - You have a pending 100% bonus with a $50 max and a 10 FPP requirement. If you made a $50 deposit ($50 bonus) you would need to earn 500 Base FPPs (10 x 50) to release the bonus
Base FPPs which count toward the bonus requirement begin with the first hand played after the deposit is made to your account.

FPPs that you win in a satellite do not count towards getting a bonus. For instance, if you enter a 100 FPP satellite, win a seat into a 1000 FPP satellite, and then unregister, you're credited with 1000 FPPs. Those do *not* count toward cashing in a deposit bonus.

FreePlay and Freeroll tournaments do not award FPPs. These tournaments are completely free to play and as such are not part of the PokerStars FPP program.

After the required number of post-deposit Base FPPs have been earned, the bonus will move from "pending status" into your PokerStars cash balance. PokerStars will send you an email confirming that the bonus funds have been moved to your cash account. The transaction will also be noted in your 'transaction history' in the Cashier Window.
What if PokerStars currently has another Deposit Bonus offer? Can I take advantage of both offers?
If you have never made a deposit before, you can indeed take advantage of both offers! In order to do this, you must first make a deposit using the 100% First Deposit Bonus code. Then, when you make an additional deposit, you can use another active bonus code to make a second eligible deposit. Please make sure that you understand the terms of the other bonus, including making your second deposit during the eligibility period and using the correct bonus code.

Once you have been fully credited the First Deposit Bonus by earning the necessary BaseFPP, any further BaseFPP that you earn will automatically be credited toward earning your second bonus.

Note: Only your Base FPPs will be applied toward releasing your pending bonus. Base FPPs are FPPs earned through cash games and tournaments at the same rate as regular FPPs but do not include the Bonus points earned during the accelerated VIP period. Any bonus FPPs you earn through the VIP Club will not count toward releasing your bonus. Visit Free Online Promotions and Freerolls and learn how to earn Base FPPs .

Good luck, and thanks for playing on PokerStars!
