Poker Stars.com Marketing Code

Using the Poker Stars Marketing code: hotpokerbonus.com will earn you a 100% match up to $50 on your first deposit. This is a best 1st deposit bonus available at Poker Stars. The bonus will be placed into your Bonus account and will be paid off in full when you have earned the required amount of points. You will need to earn 10 times the amount of the bonus in frequent player points (FPP’s). Below is a couple examples on how this works: 

 

1. Deposit $25 and you will receive a $25 bonus that will be placed in your bonus account. You will need to earn 250 (10 X 25) FPP's to release the bonus into your real money account. 

2. Deposit $100 and you will receive a $50 bonus that will be placed in your bonus account. You will need to earn 500 (10 X 50

 

 

Bonus Requirements

Each FPP you earn will be equivalent to $.10 in bonus money. The bonus gets paid in full to your account when you have accumulated the required FPP’s. FPP's won in freerolls and other promotions do not count towards clearing your bonus.

 

So how do you earn Poker Stars Frequent Player Points?

When you are actively playing at any real money table you will be earning FPP's. Poker Stars gives FPP's out differently depending on the blinds and number of players dealt in the hand. In general, if you are playing at a FL $1/2 or less table you will receive 1 FPP when the rake reaches $.40. That is the maximum amount of FPP's/hand you can earn at these levels because the rake is capped at $1. If you are playing at a PL/NL $1/2 or less table the first point also is earned when the rake equals $.40. Since the cap rake at these tables is $3 you will can another FPP when the rake reaches $2. Earning 3 FPP’s in one hand is only possible at the high stakes tables.

You will also earn 5 FPP’s for every $1 in tournament and SitnGo fees you pay. Below is an example of how it works:

• If you play in the $50+5 tournament or SitnGo, you will earn 25 (5 X 5) FPP's.
  

Lets take a look to see how long it takes to clear the bonus at these popular tables:

• $.50/1.00 No Limit Texas Hold'em - (6 seat table)
• $1.00/2.00 Fixed Limit Texas Hold'em - (6 seat table)
  

Examples of Clearing the Marketing Bonus Code at Poker Stars.com

$.50/1.00 No Limit Texas Hold'em - (6 seat table)

At these tables the average pot size is around $20 and the average hands/hour is 100. Poker Stars takes out $.05 of rake for every $1.00 in the pot. That would mean the rake for the average pot ($20) would be $1.00 but you would only receive 1 FPP since you only surpass the $.40 mark. The pot would need to equal $40 for you to receive 2 FPP's. So at 1 FPP/hand and 100 hands/hour you will earn 100 FPP's/hour. This means you will earn around $10.00 of your bonus for every hour you play at these limits.

• A $20 bonus would take around 2 hours to clear.
• A $35 bonus would take around 3 1/2 hours to clear.
• A $50 bonus would take 5 hours to clear.

 

$1.00/2.00 Fixed Limit Texas Hold'em - (6 seat table)

Poker Stars will rake $.25 for every $5.00 in the pot at these limits. The average pot is around $10 with an average of 110 hands per hour. Poker Stars will take out $.50 rake and each player will receive 1 FPP. So at 1 FPP/hand and 110 hands/hour you will earn 110 FPP's/hour. This means you will earn around $11.00 of your bonus for every hour you play at these limits.

• A $20 bonus would take around 1 hour & 45 minutes hours to clear.
• A $35 bonus would take around 3 and 15 minutes hours to clear.
• A $50 bonus would take 4 and 1/2 hours to clear.
