25% to $150, good till the 2nd. They also introduced more game filters to their lobby. Pretty fuckin sweet.

Is PokerStars real strict on the no cashout during bonus period rule? Meaning if I were to cashout, and then re-deposit on Stars, are they really gonna deny me? Or is it more to make sure noone totally abuses bonus offers?

I would probably only be withdrawing a portion of my money from Stars to take advantage of the full bonus. So I would still be playing there a little bit in the meantime. This may affect their response too. I know that it says you cant withdraw and still be eligible, but I wonder if anyone has done this before.

I will probably withdraw $400 from Bodog, and at least get a $100 bonus; just dont wanna screw myself.
What do you guys think?
thanks

I'm pretty sure you become ineligible for the bonus if you withdraw. Check the rules on the link posted, I'm sure they will state this somewhere.

Yup found it by following a couple links:

Nikita,
I read the T&C's, and I did see that it says this. Again though, I was just wondering if anyone had gotten around this before. I think they are just trying to stop people from abusing bonus offers (although they dont come around often); meaning withdrawing everything, not playing at all during the interim, then re-deposting and getting full bonus. My plan would be to take only $200 out (although this is most of what I have on Stars), still play there while waiting to clear Neteller etc., then combine that with a $400 withdrawal from Bodog, in order to get max bonus.
I think I will probably just try to deposit $400 after a Bodog withdrawal, just to be safe (unless someone can tell me how they got around this in the past).
Anyone feel like letting me borrow $200 on Neteller for just a little while to take full advantage?

Nikita thanks for the reply though. Just saying that I wasnt lazy, and I did read thru the links and whatnot.

Drew, no withdrawal or no deposit bonus. No way around this.

Thanks man. Thought that was the case. Looks like I may only get $100 bonus.

No biggie i guess. As I am a low limit nit, I am still clearing the WCOOP bonus!
Almost there.
This is a 10x as well, not a 7x.

No problems. I wasn't saying you were lazy. I completely missed the bolded part of your post. I just did a search for the links since I wasn't doing anything better at the time.
