| Stars are really trying to increase their stake in the UK market. First the Monte Carlo freerolls, now offering massive FPP bonuses that will efectively make moving up the VIP stakes take a tenth of the time. I'm loving it and I know there are a few Brits on here too who will be. Long live Stars I was just about to make a thread about this but DM beat me too it |

Depending on your stakes and volume its basicly 2K+ for free |

Wow that's hard on non UK players imo but I guess Stars need to address that matter themselves. So basically are we saying if say a UK player 4 tables $50NL for the rest of May they are more or less $2k better off at the end of it? |

The VPPs you get do not get converted to FPPs. The advantage is that the rate at which you earn FPPs if you become a Supernova is faster. You still need to earn them to get any bonuses, which may or may not mean more money. I doubt it will mean 2k for most. |

| Getting back on topic lol, I think the recent rumblings with things like PartyGaming paying the US $100M+ in fines and then going on to say they had some stuff in the pipeline might have something to do with all of this. Unfortunately for some countries they are restricted in where they can play at the moment but in the UK you more or less have a free run at any site you care to visit. Saying that, I'm not sure where that leaves other European countries in the grand scheme of things. |

| I think its more so far behind the line it isnt in sight, rather than over the line. Its such a pointless thing anyway, no need to even discuss when we can talk about how much pokerstars <3's us and the fact i heard in novemenber they are going to fly a plane over the uk and just drop money all over the country |

| So why is it that we can play at so many poker sites and you can't, surely you can see the valid point that is being made? |

Then also advise that brother on what he might do during June and onwards. Keep in mind this brother isn't "up" on how these milestones etc work. Cheers. |

| re: ATTN: UK Stars players poker I hate pokerstars for favouring the brits, must have a jones for bond like i do, i hate america for not allowing us our goddess given right to spend our left over taxed dollars as we see fit, i hate the fact that the last war fought for freedom was in the 40's and i hate people witout a sense of humour. |

So the bonuses work out as follows: 200k Vpps = $2k 300k = $3k 400k = $4k 500k = $5k 600k = $6k 800k = $8k then you get more if you hit SNE and beyond. They cost 50kfpps (which is like $800 so deduct that off the milestone bonus and your left with the net figure) and are instantly credited to your account. |

| So when I go into the Pokerstars cashier and click on Check My Bonus Status it shows that I have accrued 58 Base FPP (in five and a half months). I need 500 Base FPP to release a bonus of $50, and I need to accrue them by 17th June. So the reality is that, from my point of view, this promotion is totally irrelevant, and it will not actually help me to reach the 500 points that I need by 17th June. If I have understood correctly. |

| I think i have posted graphs of my play on euro sites. FS, UK players/Euro player that play on omg really very similar deals. Its a dealage for a little parity. Guys its YOUR goverment that fcuked you up (Sticks you to a very firm market with little incentives), sorry but its true. Last edited by tenbob : 5th May 2009 at 3:55 AM. |

| Since my post above was deleted i assume by mistake ill just repeat for the sake of it being relevant This deal is sick good for me since it gets me supernova something like 2-3 months earlier than what i would have got it, and propels me up a milestone bonus so ship the free monies |

I'm worse off than you, CB!, I currently have $33 at PS, and monies at other sites, and my multi-tabling is limited to 4 on a good day(don't laugh), Im crap at cash tables(I dont play them, never have really, not seriously anyway), but I have a TAG style which serves me well at MTT's and SNG's. My question is, would this promotion mean anything to me 4-tabling 2NL for say, 2 hours a day in the week, and maybe 6 hours saturday/sunday/monday. As I've never really played the cash tables at PS I know nothing about fpps/vpps/bonuses/stars/etc so hopefully someone can help me out? I know I have bronze star there, but doesn't everyone at least??? Thanks in advance.........and thanks for the heads-up DM |

| I personally think you need to be playing at least $25NL - and have the bankroll to support that to benefit. If it included the US I could benefit a little by moving up to silver but it would mean making a concerted effort to play $25NL most days, 2-4 tables at a time. I am making this comment for casual cash players like myself. To get any further than that would be a drastic change for me in how often I play cash - and I would most likely have to play $50NL. I am rolled for that but would lose more trying to cram it all in than I could possibly gain from the promotion lol. |

Even when I was playing the most $25NL I have ever played a couple of months ago I only earned less than 300 VPP's in a month. |
