Just got this email (Aug 3rd) from my PokerStars rep. Looks like Poker Stars is offering a $600 deposit bonus for new players!
Quote:
We are now offering a 100% up to $600 first deposit bonus for
PokerStars.com players. Participants may make up to three deposits in total to claim the full bonus amount, but they must be made within 60 days of the first deposit.
Players will have 6 months in which to earn the full amount of the bonus.
It will release in $10 increments and has a clearance rate of 17 VPP per
$1 of bonus. The first deposit code is STARS600 and this will need to be
entered on every eligible deposit.

Ok so when you make your deposit use code "WCOOP" and get a nice reload bonus. Designed to feature more brand awareness for their WCOOP (World Championship Of Online Poker) they use this code plus are offering 'WCOOP Extreme Satellites with buy-in's starting at $7.50. I likey. After the ass kicking I took at PokerStars during the last league, I'm due for a reload myself.

P.S. - while PokerStars.com is by far the market leader, it's good to see competition from other US friendly sites like FullTilt and PlayersOnly. I noticed that the first depositor bonus of $600 is the same amount that FT offers. You can read our
PokerStars.com and
FullTiltPoker.com reviews for more on these two market leaders.
