pokerstars deposit bonus

[BrianSwa]

did anyone see if there is a time limit to clear the bonus on pokerstars, im at work and cant look it up since they filter all gambling sites ( no idea how they didnt catch this one). Because if there is no time limit ill just deposit $50 and chill out in .05/.10 and take my time clearing it. If there is a time limit ill probolly pass on it.

I'm pretty sure there is no limit on Stars bonuses... In fact, I still haven't cleared the last one, but it say on their terms page that they will just add it on. In other words, the first 150 points I play (or whatever I have left) will go towards the old bonus, and then the nex 750 will go towards the new one.

I wondered about this too, especially since Party's is so tight -- only seven days to clear. But the other thing was this disclaimer

"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."

which means the bonus period must have a defined start and end, right?

From what I read earlier I believe TP is right in there is no limit on time spent trying to clear bonus, which means I can play .05/.10 and take my time to clear it....yippie for me.

The bonus is paid out in one big lump sum then? I'm still debating weather or not I should sign up. I play a ton, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to clear this bonus. Can anyone tell me what the max buy in is for the 25/50 cent blinds for NL?

dont know but I can tell you in 5 hours when I go home stupid flight is 2 hours late so I have to stick around till 4:30am instead of leaving my normal 3am oh well least I get overtime for it.

For what it's worth, last night I finished clearing their LAST 25% bonus (from a month plus ago). This new promo was running, and that bonus was still live. So I don't believe there is a time limit.

The drawback to this, of course, is that the $600 I deposited in Stars for the last one is now $1300, and I can't cash any of it out (like $1000 for the Party Reload) because I need to deposit another $600 first. I'm sure I can juggle my money around easily enough to hit all these... you just have to be careful and not do anything that will void a bonus (like cashing out from Stars BEFORE depositing).

Or it could be that all those Party bad beats have rotted my brain. But I'm still having trouble understanding this. If you clear a bonus from the last period and make a profit on it, can you not withdraw it because it will void any play you have towards the next one.
