Just saw on the Stars news page - 25% reload b0nus from Dec 22nd until Jan 2nd - 25% up to $150. You need 10x FPPs to release over 6 months, which for tourney players works out to 50% rebate of entry fees. As we all know, Stars reloads (for non-VIP members anyway) don't come around that often so GO GO GO!
Also, the first-time deposit b0nus expires at the end of the year for first deposits on Stars - 100% up to $50.

Nope, you need 10FPP for every $. Therefore you would need 250FPPs.

You should reaaaaaaaally take advantage of the full bonus ($650) if at all possible. Even if you have to move your entire roll to Stars it's worth it rather than just a partial bonus. Plus, you can deposit the money on there, then withdrawl and keep the bonus active for 180 days if necessary.

It's actually $600 to get the $150 (since it's a 25% b0nus). I think givememyleg is referring to the first-time deposit b0nus which is 100% up to $50. So if you haven't deposited previously on Stars, it would be $650 for $200 b0nus.
Each $ of b0nus requires 10 FPP to clear (but there is no partial clearance of b0nus as far as I know). If you're playing tourneys, you get 5 FPP for every $ of entry fee (or 3 for every 50c for $5.50s and $6.50s) so it's effectively 50% of your entry fee refunded.
Not sure how it works for cash games where you get 1 FPP when the rake exceeds 40c (so the pot >$8) or 2 FPP if the rake exceeds $2 at a 6-max table (so a $40+ pot) or $3 at a full table (so a $60+ pot).

No, if you cash out during the bonus period you become ineligible for the b0nus. That said, you can stick $600 of other money onto Stars, wait 48 hours and cash it back out again and still keep the b0nus.

So explain - if you deposit $600 then you get a $150 bonus you can work off over the next 6 months? That might be just about worthwhile...

I deposited $500, bank limit, and I have a $125 bonus pending @stars now. I need to collect 1250FPP before 6 months and I've gotten 330 so far, playing 10NL.
But Hurry, Offer ends soon!!

Yes. Deposit $600, get a $150 bonus. You have 180 days to clear it. You can withdraw your money 48 hours after depositing and not lose the bonus. Redeposit when you feel like it.
If you happen to redeposit during another bonus you'll get that bonus as well....but you'll have to clear one and then the other.

How many hands did it take you to get to 330 points at 10NL?
