Pokerstars questions

I'm about to start playing at Pokerstars(as most people on here seem to play there, and so i can get involved in the Gauntlet)

few questions

1) Can i get Rakeback or bonuses(through FTR?)?
2) As i'm British, will i miss alot of action playing at different hours?
3) Will i need to mess around sending passport details etc?

thanks

There is a 100% first deposit b0nus up to $50 for first time real money depositors and pretty infrequent reload b0nuses (about 3/year). You actually just missed one...

Stars has the biggest traffic anywhere online. There are plenty of fish online at all times. I'm in Australia and I never have a problem getting into a game.

Been a while since I signed up (about 5 years!) but I don't recall having to give these details. They do need date of birth, home address and some other bits and pieces though.

cheers Taipan. I'll be signed up soon!

Is their reward system even comparable to PokerStars, you know since we can't get RB at either.

I'm open to suggestions...it just seems to me that everyone plays on PokerStars. And they take debit card which means its really easy to withdraw my winnings(thats a pint of beer a month then....)

also i wanna get involved with the Gauntlet thingy....

40%++ VP$P tables is reward enough, but there are other reasons Party is far superior to Stars. Anybody with any time and a little curiosity could find out.

Although I like Pokerstars I question most non-US people why they are not playing on more profitable sites against more "inexperienced" players.

Said it before, say it again. Try i-poker network, not available to US players,but for UK players a goldmine. Usually a good selection of tables playing at 40%+, lots of limp callers, lots of really passive players who won't fold 2nd pair, people min-betting 50 cents into 10 dollar pots when your chasing your draws.

1) no
2) no
3) no


hey jyms,
is that a dude? or just an amazon that can kick my ass?

and miffed,
couple days ago, my 6 yo daughter saw your av and asked me, "daddy, why is that girl singing and jumping?" i answered, "because her 'daddy' told her to."

I was gonna say that too...

omg do you see her triceps, sexy, no flabby arms for me!

Seriously tho, jyms is a big guy, he'd be breaking the little girls in everyone's avatars in half. The fact that she could bench press me is a bit of a turnoff though.

anything you can get by rewards on stars is eclipsed simply by the better quality (in terms of fish) of the game on party.
Its not close.

To be honest the best site is pokerroom and the ongame network, 25nl fr on that site is like a gambOOl fest still.

1 more vote for Party

i'll try out Boss and Pokerroom as soon as I can make full use of their Depo Bonuses

i hate to say this, but for us Americans, AP is about the fishiest site with any traffic.

however, i may look into Cake, but the traffic (lack of) spooks me a bit.

good to see you, cheesy. where you been hiding?
