Limited Time - 100% up to $50 Free Sign Up Bonus |
| Sun, 25 June 2006 |
|
Its here again!!
Haven't tried the top online poker room, Poker Stars, yet? Now is a good time since they don't usually run sign up bonus promotions.
This promotion ends JUNE 30th.
PokerStars have become the top online poker room due to massive marketing seen through the television. Why such a big poker site don't offer first time bonuses for new players is something that been around the lips for quite a while now. Perhaps the reason they do not use sign up bonuses (first time deposit bonuses) is simply this: they don't need to attract new players they go there anyway! |

The latest week Poker Stars have recorded over 100,000 players logged in with the PokerStars.com software. For several years Poker Stars has been one of the big pokerrooms offering huge tournaments and awarding their players well. With this high traffic volume they have taken the NR.1 spot of online pokersites.
This 100,000 number in itself is not so important since all online poker rooms are reading higher volume of online poker players every year. What is important is that Pokerstars.com is now the biggest stand-alone poker room. Now we all could request that they put a standard sign-up and re-deposit bonus for even more player loyalty.
