20% up to $120 = 600 FPPs
Never been a big fan of this site but I think I need a change from Party/Skins/InterPoker for a bit so I think I'll give this one a go.

Depending on what limits you play it can take forever. I tried clearing it playing NL25 a while back but it just wasn't worth it for me to keep going...

No the bonus is good at $200 NL and up. Clears pretty quick then, just dont do it when the bonus period is on. Make the deposit get the bonus, then wait a few weeks til all the whores have gone

I'm in love with this bonus for playing SnGs...it makes them rake free! For every dollar you pay, you get 5 FPPs. For every 5 FPPs, you get $1 of bonus freed up. That's awesome. Stars, I <3 you.

The site mentions not being able to withdraw before making the deposit. It doesn't say anything about withdrawing after making the deposit but before clearing the bonus. Anyone know how that impacts the bonus (i.e. if I deposit $600 and then withdraw $300 in a week, are they going to take the bonus away if it's still uncleared)?

You can deposit money, withdrawl right away, and then come back in two months to clear the bonus.
I still have a deposit bonus at Stars from March or April that I never finished.

I don't have an account at PokerStars, so now is probably a good time to sign up.
So I can clear this bonus JUST by playing SnGs!! That's awesome! 3FFP for $5+.50, 5FFP for $10+1. Am I also correct to believe that the bonus has NO EXPIRATION on it? So if it takes me until February to play the 167 $5 SnGs, no problem?
I also think I remember reading awhile back that there is a regular FTR-only table at Stars? If true, what's the limit, and who do I contact about the password?

goes pretty fast at 1/2 limit, since the pot only needs to be 7.5BB for you to get a point. Also $5 SNGs, two or three at a time. (5 X .5 gets rounded up to 3 points per SNG).

I clear these at 100NL which is the lowest limit you can really do it at, 50 is a waste of time. It doesn't clear very fast at 100 but i like playing at stars anyway so i just run the bonus in the background. For example i've played 900 hands so far today and cleared 200FPP's which is $40.
There is no time limit, but don't withdraw from stars and redeposit for the bonus, it won't work. Once you've deposited you can almost withdraw straight away apart from a 48 hour period where they won't let you cash out (to Neteller at least)

Correct on all accounts. Delightful isn't it? Technically, they are paying you .1 per SnG to play if you play the $5+.5
