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 stars 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 poker stars 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.

Now that was a hilarious response

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].:D:eek:;)

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

Thanks. Garfield came as a result of....

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).:D

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 :p )
