Well then, perhaps Paradise can wait a few more weeks.

What are the terms of the bonus? How long and how to clear?

Stars bonus is tough to clear, IMO. But, it's worth it nevertheless. This is what I remember from their my old Stars Bonus Clearing Days...

Basically, you need to accumulate FPPs. I think it's 5 or 7 x the bonus amount. Check out the following link for FPP information:

Stars reload isnt too hard to clear but you have to pay higher limits... at 1/2 O8 you shouldnt be in too bad of shape.

I usually clear it at .25/.50 and .50/1 NL so it doesnt take too long.

You can get 2 or 3 FPPs in one hand compared to some sites where you can only get 1pt towards the bonus or 1 raked hand.

Omahilo, thanks, never would have known otherwise. Just threw $300 on the site, only because never played it before.


Now, anyone playing O8B, what are screennames in case we come across one another? I'd hate to take your money . Oh, and yes, I am a cocky mother fucker .

This bonus is simply not easy to clear for low limit players. If you're playing limit or no limit HE, you should be playing at 1/2 or higher in order to clear this in a decent amount of time/# of hands. (I would guess 0.5/1 NL is about 40% or so longer than than 1/2)

To clear the points, you basically need to earn 600 FPP to get the entire 120 bonus....but the good news is that it never expires.

Poker Stars isn't really a great place to play to clear huge bonuses for low limit players. Only a few of the other sites are harder to clear...like UB. Which also has a reload this weekend.

Actually, is it the deposit period until March 17 or is that when the bonus expires?
