In order to receive the additional starting capital, you need to have at least 888 Lifetime-StrategyPoints.

If you haven't reached that many points yet you still have until 15.07.2009 to collect them at any of our other partner rooms.

Lifetime StrategyPoints are all the StrategyPoints that you have collected since your registration at PokerStrategy.com. You can see how many points you already have by checking in the top left corner on the Home- page just after logging in.

You have questions or feedback?

Pacific Poker has never had a problem with attracting bad players to the tables. Yet multitablers have never really felt great there due to software issues. 888.com has recognized this problem and will soon start working on a new poker software.

Since this offer will also attract its share of high volume players - wishing to test Pacific Poker, the poker room is hoping for as much feedback as possible from you: what needs to be improved and what features are missing?
