only 50% of the first $100 that you deposit AND you have to earn 750 FPPs within three months to get the bonus (every dollar of PokerStars fees equals 5 FPPs). I had to load up for the new series anyways, so I used the eCheck option....whether I earn enough FPPs to earn the bonus remains to be seen. Steve B

(PS -- immediately after I funded my account, I played a one table $20+$2 Sit-N-Go. I played the very first hand -- raised with a pair of sixes from late position with several callers & hit trips on the flop -- and did not see another flop for 44 straight hands because of unplayable cards. The cards did eventually show-up...thankfully )
