New Pokerstars bonus code for 2009
January 1, 2009
From 1st January 2009, Pokerstars will be changing the bonus code used by new players to gain their first deposit bonus.
For the last 12 months, the bonus code has been set at FIRST2008. However, that will change at the start of the new year, with players now needing to use the code STARS50 in order to qualify for their bonus.
The bonus itself won’t change at all, which is good news for all players as it’s currently the easiest bonus to clear online. New players will still be eligible for a 100% first deposit bonus up to a maximum of $50. In order to receive the bonus, 10x the deposit amount will need to be earned in loyalty points, but you will have a huge six months in which to do this in.
To take advantage of this bonus, simply visit www.pokerstars.com, download the free software and register your details.
