PokerStars Free $50 Deposit Bonus

Yes It's true, PokerStars will give you $50 for free! There are a few strings attached which may seem a bit confusing at first, but don't worry, I'm here to guide you through and get you that free cash! First you must realize this is a "First Time Deposit Bonus" so yes, you will need to make a deposit in order to receive the free $50. If you've already made a deposit at PokerStars anytime in the past, I'm sorry but you are not eligible. If your still with me I suppose your ready to get started.



If you already have a PokerStars account you may skip down to step 3. If not please continue as follows:



1. Download. As always PokerStars is free to download and play. The Download Wizard will guide you through the simple process.



2. Register An Account. Once the download is complete you will be asked to enter some information which will identify and protect you, and don't worry PokerStars will not ask for sensitive information such as your social security number, credit card numbers or other valuable personal information. Here's what they'll ask for:

• Your First And Last Name. Be sure to enter your name as you will want it to appear on a check; should you cash-out, and opt to be paid via check.




• Street Address. This will be the address that any checks will be sent to, so be sure to use an address which you will be able to receive mail at.




• Email Address. This must be a valid email address. Upon submitting this form you will receive an email from PokerStars containing a validation code. Upon your initial login to the poker room you will need to enter that code for access.




• Screen Name. You will be asked to create a nickname which will be visible to all other players while you are playing poker. You can make this name anything you'd like, as long as it is not already being used by another player. Also, if they find your name to be vulgar or otherwise offensive to other players you may be asked to change it.




• Create A Password. Your password must be a minimum of 8 charachters and a maximum of 12. Be sure to create a strong password, especially if you anticipate playing for real money and having a cash balance in your account.

3. Make A Deposit. PokerStars will give you a 100% bonus on your first deposit up to $50. The minimum amount you can deposit is just $10, however to take maximum advantage of the offer I'd recommend you Deposit $50, and get $50 free.

4. Earn 100 Frequent Player Points. Initially your bonus money will be placed in your "pending bonus' account. To release this hold on your money you will need to earn 100 FPP's. FPP's are awarded quite eaily, and accumulate fast. In fact, PokerStars estimates it will take about an hour to earn 100. For complete details on how FPP''s are awarded click here.

Well, I hope that helped simplify the process, and you were able to collect the free $50. If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to leave them below. Good Luck at the tables!
