$600 First Deposit Bonus

Make your first real money deposit using bonus code “STARS600″ and marketing code “POKERNEWS.COM,” and PokerStars will give you a 100% bonus up to $600. See below for other available currencies.

You can make up to three qualifying deposits in 90 days (up to the maximum bonus value) – the perfect way to take full advantage of the 100% bonus.

Once you’ve made your deposit(s), you earn the bonus by playing real money games on PokerStars and collecting the number of VPPs equal to 17 times the bonus amount (USD). The bonus is released in increments of 10 ($10, £10, “10 etc.), each released into your account as you clear the needed VPPs (e.g. 170 VPPs for every $10 increment). You have six months after each qualifying deposit to earn all the VPPs needed to release your bonus giving you plenty of time to clear the entire amount.
