Hi Need help on why I got a deposit in my real account.

Hi Everyone,

I had a time with my health recently so I haven't been on much, but I am doing fine for now.

I recently got a $5 deposit in my Pokerstars account much to my surprise. I don't ask or solicit funds from anyone at anytime. It is very nice and I thank whoever did it, but it says, "Vendor Credit". Did that occur from some admin sending me money or is it vaguely possible for some unknown reason that Pokerstars deposited it?

I really don't know but thanks to whoever did it, now I can play again in real and I am elated. If anyone has any idea how that happened I would appreciate your response.

Thanks to everyone for their moral support and friendship and I hope to post more articles and responses here as time goes on.

My deepest thanks,

Lonnie Royal

Sometimes pokerstars will put $5 in your account if it has been empty and inactive for a while. Check your email. They usually send one to inform you.

Hey, I was just trying to be nice. Send it back if you're going to complain .

yeah, for some new people, they give you $5. i wish they gave me $5. and then people get invited into their freerolls and other things...lucky people...as for me, never invited to anything, finally made a dollar....but if you don't want ya $5...hint hint

Hope your feeling better PD. If you need another fiver, you can enter the CC Community Bankroll contest., You could also register for the 1000dollar free roll in the OFC at Absolute Poker and represent CC.

yeah i was building up play money to sell on pokerstars when they gave me $5
needless to say i quit the play money thing and have grinded it to over $17 playin $2nl in a short amount of time

cant complain when im playin with free money

that hapened to me as well what happens is whe theres a prolonged period of inactivity in your pokerstars account then they deposit 5 dollars in your account and send you an email to get you to come back

Have also seen several times and reasons that they will make deposits into player accounts, usually accompanied by an e-mail.

As to it being for 'prolonged inactivity', I can see it as a marketing tool of course, but it's also a lot like giving bonuses to sitters - lol. I imagine the marketing dept knows Stars will get it all back in rakes eventually anyway.

Hope you were able to parlay that into something good.

Well I think Stars has a great idea there.Nothing better than free money and if you play smart and get lucky,the sky is the limit.Good luck.!

Ha ha ..if it was thanks, if not , thanks, It is all great...lol Good luck and win big and see you in Vegas when I finally have a nice bankroll say , September 22, 2020.

that's right some sites will deposit $ . i've had that happen to me i stayed away from pokerstars,and was playing on FT, then i got an email from pokerstars saying they made a $5 deposit, sweet huh!

So far I have never received anything from PokerStars, but I know that Absolute was depositing $5 in my account fairly regularly. The funny part was I was ALWAYS playing on Vegas247 as it seemed I made the money a lot more often there. The best I have ever done on PokerStars was qualifiers, very rarely actually money for me so that may explain the lack of incentives on their part. Good luck to you, I hope you are able to build on it significantly.

I got a deposit like that a week or so after I open my account with them. I hadn't yet made a deposit but have since then. They sent me an e-mail explaining why and everything. If you didn't get an e-mail, it probably ended up in your bulkk or spam box, and you didn't get to read it.

hope you feel better.

I don't think Full Tilt does it. I did'nt play there for almost a year and nothing. I guess I should sign up at pokerstars and then sit out for awhile. LOL I don't think Ultimate Bet does it either. If anyone has ever gotten a bonus from Full Tilt or U.B for not playing let me know.

Ha ha, good one, but no one I know or don't know, including all my friends never send me money even on special occassions. That would be cool, since I don't ever ask anything from anyone, but I loved your response.

Say hi sometime on Pokerstars. I am on as LRPharm54 (Garfield Picture), and I will most likely be playing play chips until my ship comes in. [Hope it isn't the Titannic].

Your question has already been asked and accurately answered. I'm just posting to say "Welcome to the Forum!!!" & I love your avatar!! Garfield rocks imo!!! Been a huge fan since I was a little girl, now I'm nearly 40 and still love him!

Garfield wasn't my original intention, but it so happens that I am related to Jim Davis, his creator. I got a nice letter with drawings in it from him and I used on and have used it on Pokerstars and Forums ever since. Thanks for your kind message.

I will be on Pokerstars primarily with playchips since I can't seem to accrue enough to deposit yet, but that too will change some day. Take care and thanks for all the kind responses. Good to be back. LRpharm54 (Garfield).

I used to play on p/s but am a regular on ultimate bet..just for the hell of it i signed on to pokerstars and found 10 dollars deposited into my account under the same circumstances....nothing wrong with free CHEESE!

Boy I will tell you one thing. The freebee's aren't coming this way. Lucky you, don't and don't tell is an American phrase, and enjoy the cash.

Pokerstars gave me $5 once....another time they gave me 300 FPPs

FT gave me a very welcome surprise of $50 one time.....

yes it is. easy to deposit, withdrawal and of course find the game of your choosing.

Say what!??!?! Did they say what it was for? I've not heard of more than $10 as a 'hey! why don't you play with us for awhile?' Not that FT can't afford it. But I had play w/real $ 25 days last month for that $50.

never said what it was for....was an unadvertised thing a year or so ago, .....never got an e-mail about it.........wasn't sure were it came from until the next day a few others said they got 50 also....

my guess is they do it to induce more play.....get ya in the habit figuring you'll eventually deposit (didn't work )

I haven't got these 5$ till now :|

I am still playing with playchips, life has been too rough lately. Wife had a car wreck last week, my other car has electrical problems, so it will be some time before I play real, but no complaints here. Take care all.
