The Poker Bonus
When you make your first real money deposit at PokerStars, they will give you a 100% bonus up to $50 if you use the bonus code Stars50 during your deposit. This was actually the first bonus I ever cleared and it’s truly an easy poker bonus. The reason the bonus on PokerStars is very easy to clear is that you don’t have to contribute to the pot in order to earn FPPs and the players on PokerStars are very lose. The pots often gets high enough in every hand to result in FPPs. If you play two tables at once you should be able to clear the bonus in just a couple of hours. You need 500 FPP in order for the bonus to be released.
Software and Graphic
The PokerStars software is the best in the online poker industry. While the graphic may not impress an avid Playstation 3 player, it’s hard find any software as good as this one when it comes to speed and lack of bugs. The extreme amount of players at PokerStars puts the software to the test, and it passes with the highest score. The software is really fast and it only takes one click to get access to all player statistics, and if you want you can upload an avatar to use at the poker tables.
