PokerStars Bonus Code Details
Ready to hit the tables? Not so fast! Be sure to enter the PokerStars Marketing Code. By entering flopturnriver in the proper spot during signup, you will ensure your eligibility for all of the exclusive FTR events! Check out our PokerStars Marketing Code page prior to this bonus page for complete details!
After signing up, it's time to make your first deposit and begin unlocking your bonus! And nowhere on the internet will you find more action than at PokerStars. They have the highest traffic, richest VIP program, best tournament schedule and biggest selection of cash games. And, if you didn't catch it earlier, they offer an awesome deposit bonus for first time users.
By signing up through FTR, you'll be all set to cash in on their maximum offer. This bonus has been jacked up to 100% up to $600 on your first deposit! Don't forget to enter the PokerStars Bonus Code STARS600 when loading up your bankroll. (See above screen shots.) PokerStars also has a sweet VIP program, freerolls every hour and reload bonuses every few months.
If you'd like to make the full $600 deposit but can't afford it at the moment, PokerStars has you covered. You can make up to 3 deposits within a 90 day period to qualify for the full amount. For example, today you only have $100 and deposit that. In 2 weeks, you have $200 and deposit that as well. Then, next month you have the remaining $300 and make another deposit. You will still qualify for the full $600 bonus even though you made 3 deposits! (Make sure to use the PokerStars Bonus Code STARS600 on each deposit!)
Earning your $600 bonus should come fairly quickly, provided you follow the guidelines printed below. While playing in real money games, players earn both VPPs (VIP Player Points) and FPPs (Frequent Player Points). VPPs are considered tracking points and FPPs are used to purchase items in the VIP store. VPPs are always constant, but you can up your VIP level and earn a multiplier for your FPPs.
The $600 first time player bonus requires 17x VPPs of the bonus amount, which means a $600 bonus requires 10,200 VPPs. Earning the VPPs depends on which games and stakes you play. If you like to play sit & go's or tournaments, you earn 5.5 VPPs for every $1 in fees. So if you sign-up for a $10 + $1 SnG, you would collect 5.5 VPPs. If you play cash, the amount of VPPs depends on the amount of rake and type of table in any given hand. At a full ring table (8 or more players), 6 VPPs are awarded for every $1 in rake. When the rake hits $1 everyone dealt in would split 6 VPPs. (You don't have to be involved in the hand.) At 6-max or shorthanded tables, the rate is 5.5 VPPs per $1 rake. So if the total rake was $2.50 and 4 people were dealt in, everyone would collect 3.44 VPPs for that one hand.
But, without question, the best aspect of the PokerStars bonus code is its gradual release. Rather than forcing you to grind out the entire thing (and risk missing it by a few hours), each time you reach 170 VPPs, PokerStars will drop $10 into your account. You have 6 months after your initial deposit to earn the full amount.
FlopTurnRiver loves to reward it members, so we're paying you back by hosting $1,000 in freerolls and money added tournaments each month! This means that every single month, you will be able to play and have your shot at $1,000! In total, there are 4 tournaments, every month:
$500 freeroll – You must have used the PokerStars Marketing Code 'flopturnriver' when signing up and earn 200 FPPs the previous month to play. This freeroll is for active direct signups only! $500 money added – FTRStars500, $3 buy-in, $500 added, password protected. You can receive the password for this event in our poker forum.
This is better than any one time deposit bonus because you can play every single month. These are usually held at the same time each month, but make sure to check our FTR Calendar for all times and dates!
Make sure to signup through FTR with the links on this page and enter the PokerStars Marketing Code flopturnriver when creating your account! This will ensure you receive the $600 bonus and $1,000 in monthly tournaments!
