Yea this would be awesome (especially if they did it in the summer like last year). I'd get to platinum star like a boss.

Appreciating the input guys. While I can't disclose anything right now hopefully you'll be pleased with our Spring/Summer promotions.

We'll talk about them once they arrive.

SCOOP is also right around the corner.

Ask and you shall receive .

The SCOOP Reload Bonus is now live. 50% up to $250. You have till May 3rd to deposit. You have 30 days from the time of your deposit to clear the bonus. The bonus is released in $10 increments for every 200 VPPs earned. Enter 'MAX250' in the PokerStars Bonus Code box when depositing to apply the bonus.

Happy SCOOP'ing.

Dylan

I knew it was coming!

respect Dylan, baller

this is why I want to stay at stars, was considering moving over for rakeback etc but the software, promotions and amount of games makes up for that imo.

Stars is really good at getting me to deposit lol. Boooo at having exams approaching and probably only being able to clear like $30 or $40.

Thanks D.
I play dollar and euro games. Can I make a deposit in any currency, and then play any currency and get the bonus? Like if I deposit in dollars and play mostly euro games (or vice-versa), does that matter? And my current account amount is irrelevant as well?

If you deposit in euros the bonus is 50% up to a maximum of €190. It is 260 VPPs for every €10 increment. However, it doesn't matter what currency type table you're on, as you'll still be earning VPPs which clears the bonus. If you make the deposit in Euros, you'll be accredited the bonus in Euros and same for USD and CAD.

Dylan

Any truth you have heard in the matter on pokerstars buying full tilt Dylan?


On another note, I intend to make a reload deposit too, nice promotion.

Care to comment on the current rumor that Stars has purchased Full Tilt???

I just noticed that I had about 261 FPPs on PS accumulated pre-Black Friday. Being a US player, is there anything I can do with them? I looked at the store, and it looks like I don't have enough to really get anything.. they have tournaments for some FPPs.. but I don't think I can play in those, lol. Are they just going to sit there and look pretty?

Hi Mortis,

You're right that you can't use them to play in Tournaments as a US player right now. Unfortunately, US players are only able to redeem their FPPs by purchasing VIP Reward Bonuses and previously earned but unclaimed VIP Stellar Rewards and Milestone Cash Credits from the VIP Store.

A balance of less than 2500 FPPs is not currently redeemable. Your FPP balance will be made available to you again if you are able to play for real money on PokerStars at some point in the future.

So basically, for now they're just going to look pretty, but hopefully at some point they can be put to use.

Thanks for your understanding,

Dylan

I think you missed a couple of questions.

Did you really think he would be authorized by PS to comment on the rumors they won't comment on?

No but it wasn't going to stop me from asking!

This is the case. I appreciate your understanding.

Here is a link to our Corporate Blog and latest statement: PokerStars' statement regarding settlement discussions.

Thanks,

Dylan

I like that response much better than "I have nothing to say because I know nothing of the deal".

Thanks.

That ^ would be an iPoker rep. response

I have nothing to say because I know nothing of the deal.

Not surprised no one from PS can comment on them potentially buying FTP, hopefully it happens!

Thanks for the response, Dylan! I understand. Was just curious.

"I know nothing.
I see nothing!"

S.Schultz...

Dylan,

I have a guy willing to take a substantial bet that pokerstars will make a major announcement that will happen to take place the exact time 2+2 reopens. Im thinking to bet against, wise ?

I'd bet a substantial amount you wont get an answer to it being wise or not until after a public announcement has been made or 2+2 has reopened.

? Interesting .

Maybe Stars is going to buy 2p2 as well

Hey PSDylan, you called me awhile back and we discussed a bunch of stuff. When I was at the IOM, Steve mentioned that Vip reps have taken some supernova's out to dinner and such. You should see if you can get over to the GTA and make that happen and see that I get an invite

Dylan, Im having problems with the clock on the pokerstars lobby. it doesnt update, I have to log-out and log-in again for it to update.

First I've heard of this - let me run it up the pipeline to see if others have been having issues with this. You should also email support@pokerstars.com telling them about the issue - if the problem is somehow related to the system you're running PokerStars on than they should be equipped to help with that.

Dylan

thanks Dylan, will email now. which support address works, is it @eu or @com, or are they both good?
