n1 from Stars

Looks like one of the reps made a good suggestion.

I've emailed support (3 hours ago) and asked the same, I can't see it in the T/C on this promotion. I'd also like my bonus paid out in $$$ as that's what I keep all my Stars balances (took me a while to figure why my money in £££'s kept rising and falling )

I'm pretty sure the bonus will become unavailable once you withdraw.

Bonus can be used only in SCOOP tournaments? I dont play mtts :S

lol I think you need to read it again son.

It’s the perfect way to beef-up your bankroll, and you can use the extra cash to play any of the events in this year’s Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP).

yea you are probably right

They can smell full tilt poker.

Please keep in mind also that this bonus can only be used one time per player, and that any cashouts made during the bonus period, but prior to you applying the bonus code, will make you ineligible for this bonus. For information on earning VPPs, please visit the VIP page on the PokerStars website:

Still not sure about getting the bonus paid in dollars. Gonna have a go at this.

Try to set the dollars account as your primary account.

When you deposit I believe you'll be asked in which currency you prefer to deposit the money.

I'm new to stars. This would suck... I emailed them to find out for sure. I was going to cash out last week too!

That's why you shouldn't, at any time, have all your BRM at stars. Leave half in ewallet and then:

deposit with bonus code > get bonus > wait 48 hrs and cash out same amount deposited > keep grinding the bonus > withdraw bouns (for BRM nits like me) or donk bonus money in whatever you want... > rinse and repeat in next bonus > easy money!

Yeah, I've only started pimping bonuses from Stars but I think you should take anything going. After this I'll keep around £100 in my account just to take any bonuses I can and do what you say Alcorel. I should be able to generate around 1,000 VPP's which is $50 (or £30).

I have dollars as my primary currency although I'll be depositing in £££'s so we'll see what happens.

I'll deposit tomorrow.

Thank you for contacting us regarding the SCOOP 2012 Reload Bonus.

Please note that this promotion is running from April 23rd until May 3rd, 2012.

If you cash out during a bonus period but before making a qualifying deposit, you become ineligible for that bonus. Also when you request a cashout during the bonus period you will receive a pop-up warning. We cannot make any exceptions to this rule. Any pending bonuses you may have will not be affected.

Please let us know if we can assist you further and thank you for playing at PokerStars.

Pretty crappy. I will use the above advice about ewallet from now on

Too little too late.

After being treated like f*ck after BF with 10$ reload bonuses, whooping 3% tournament tickets discounts and the sudden switch to WC i moved on and have no plans at all of comming back. I think moving from 10$ bonuses to a 250$ now might mean there are many others like myself out there.

Thanks Stars, but no thanks.
