Pokerstars Bonus Details:

100% First Depositor Bonuses

Make your first-ever real money deposit using the bonus code ‘STARS600’, and PokerStars will give you a100% bonus up to $600 (see table below for other currencies). You can make up to three qualifying deposits in 90 days (up to the maximum bonus value) - the perfect way to take full advantage of the 100% bonus.

Once you’ve made your deposit(s), you earn the bonus by playing on PokerStars and collecting the number of VPPs equal to 17 times the bonus amount (USD figure, see table below for VPP clearance rates in other currencies). The bonus is released in increments of 10 ($10, £10, €10 etc), each released into your account as you clear the needed VPPs (e.g. 170 VPPs for every $10 increment). You have six months after each qualifying deposit to earn all the VPPs needed to release your bonus.

Quality of Players:

There are plenty of soft games to be found at the micro-stakes on Stars, but the competition becomes more difficult as the stakes increase. What may seem like a relatively low stake like $1/$2 is actually populated with a number of serious grinders and the soft spots are becoming harder to find. As a result of PokerStars good reputation and the quality of their tournament schedule, the higher buy-in tournaments, like the $100 rebuy, have fields comprised almost entirely of pros. On the positive side, the site’s marquee tournaments like the Sunday Million and Sunday $200 Grand are still huge fields with a large number of purely recreational players.

Graphics:

Stars is constantly introducing new games and features to its players. The software can be personalized with one of a number of “themes” customers can download and install. The look isn’t the only thing customizable about the lobby. The site offers an extensive filtering system so only specific buy-ins and types of games appear on the list of available games.

Players are also able to upload photos to serve as their avatars, which can be changed easily and frequently. Another recent addition is the “replay” button, which allows players to watch a fully animated replay of their last hand with a simple click. PokerStars has also revamped their search feature to allow players to search for and track multiple people at the same time.

The server is still prone to overloading or slowing down during peak traffic times like Sundays, but other than that, the software is new, efficient, and reliable.

Pokerstars Support:

The only way to contact PokerStars support is via e-mail, but the staff is typically quick to respond to e-mail inquiries. The site also employs a number of moderators that are available 24/7 to handle any problems that arise at the table. PokerStars is also big on customer feedback and even offers a test version of their software that registered players can log into and try out new software and games for play money.
