The tenth annual World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) starts on Sunday and PokerStars is giving your bankroll a helping hand with a special reload bonus.
If you deposit between August 28 (00:01 ET) and September 4 at (23:59 ET) and use the bonus code "WCOOP", you receive a pending bonus of 20% your deposit value. To receive the maximum bonus of $100 you need to deposit $500.
In order to clear the bonus you need to earn VIP Player Points (VPPs). For every 100 VPPs you earn, $5 of your bonus gets released. You will have 45 days to earn as much of your bonus as you can.
Example: On September 1 you deposit $200 using the code "WCOOP". This means you get a pending bonus of $40 (20% of $200). You then have until October 15 to earn the 800 VPPs (100 VPPs x 8 $5 increments) required to release the bonus of $40.
This PokerStars reload promotion targets players who already have an account at PokerStars and have cashed in a first deposit bonus previously. If you don't already have a PokerStars account, you can create one here.
