Actually in order to cash out you will have to meet their requirements, which i am not sure exactly what PS requirements are, but once you find out, i'm sure it won't be much for 5 bucks, but if you do something big with it, it would be a good thing to look up. And also, yes all the micro games are that easy. It is full of i don't care players that are their to lose money, if you want to make easy money, that is a good place to be. But if you want to make good money, you are gonna have to move up in your games and then you will see some good players. Emphasis on SOME. Gl on the felt

Everyone that has opened a stars account and never made a deposit gets a 5 gift from them. But there is a catch. If you don't use those funds quick they take them away.

By the Way.


I had something like that done to me on absolute poker.

I tried to make a deposit from my Credit card and it kept denying and then got an email from AP to contact them because the funds were accepted. so i did and then they tried to do it again with no success. and a few weeks later i found a 10 dollar gift in my account.

I've never got anything from pokerstars. I guess I don't play there enough. Every once in a while bodog will throw $50 in my account to spur my activity there.

I got an email from absoulte saying the same thing, but then it wouldn't let me even log into my account. I hope I can get one from poker stars. Free Money is the best thing ever.

Yea I've gotten that from Pokerstars, also got 10$ randomly from UB a few months ago. Must be they were trying to coerce me to lose that 10 and deposit another 50... but I'm not a big fan of UB anymore so that didn't happen. I think AP gave me 5$ a few months ago too

I did get the 10 from UB, but that was years ago. I think it was because I had not put money on there for my first year and they wanted to give me a chance to show them what was in my wallet.

Damn I need to download pokerstars. How come fulltilt never does that. Fulltilt needs to give a lil more to the freerollers.

The real idea behind this is that the players who can actually build up enough of a bankroll to cash out will generate enough money in rake to offset the original 5$ they gave. In addition, some people will rebuy with real money if they go bust.

I've built my 5$ up to 20$ since I don't want to put any money into it, but I've generated over 30$ in rake for PS. Guess it was a good idea on their part :)

Members of PokerStars in germany can register on a forum called Intellipoker, I'm not sure if people from other countries can or not, but they have a poker school that you can take, if you complete this course and the test that follows you are also credited with $5 to your PokerStars account

I downloaded their software not too long ago and just haven't played on there much. Yesterday I got an email telling me they loaded me with $5 for free to try out their real money tables.

So I hit the micros and wow! These table are easy. I doubled my money in less than an hour. Is it this way on all the lower stakes?

Also, is this really free money that I can cash out if I turn it into something big or do I have to play so many hands or actually deposit and get it given to me in increments?
May be ps decided to do it in some promo for new members or some nondeposited accounts but still active.Im happy for you.now you can build up your bankroll and try more games.gl
