Poker Stars just announced another reload bonus today (Sept 1st). You can get up to $120 in bonus if you deposit up to $600 from now through next Thursday (Sept 8th). This applies to either new or existing accounts. Great way to pad your bankroll on Stars for all you ChipTalk Tourney players!

Heard this on 2+2 today.

How do reload bonuses work? If you have $100 in you acct. and you deposit $100... can you immediately cashout $100?

[yeltzen]

If you deposit $100 you'd get $20 bonus... you'd have to clear this at I believe 5x the amount of $... so 100 points. Good luck doing this on Poker Stars, where a raise wins the pot preflop in the .05/.10 limit games.

Looks like a bunch of sng's... still can you immediately withdraw you deposit (I know you can't withdraw the bonus til you get it)?

In the past, I've deposited $100 during these promos and played at the $.50/$1 ring tables and was able to clear the bonus in about a week. If you deposit more then you might need to play at the $1/$2 or higher to clear it in a short period of time.

Playing at the micro bet tables will take forever.

There are restrictions on how/when you can withdrawl your bonus deposit. But once you clear the required number of FPP's to earn the bonus then you can take it out at any time.

$1 of rake = 5FPP. If you deposit $100 then you need 500 FPP to clear the bonus. That's how I understand how it works.

Any idea how it works for the Sit and Gos? If at all?

You get 5 points for each $1 of tournament fees.

for the $0.50 fees you get 3 points

What is the time limit for clearing bonus?

[chipper57AA]

There is no time limit for clearing the bonuses. Basically, as long as it takes. It can overlap with future bonuses as well. They track them all separately.

As long as you only withdraw the original $100, and not the new deposit

I don't think there's a problem with this.
