Offer eligibility and release
Check How a PokerStars Bonus Releases to Cash
A promo code or deposit offer can release in stages and may depend on account, territory, payment and eligible activity. Save the accepted rule version before calculating value or cashout.
Open PokerStars and inspect the current offerConfirm eligibility before funding
Check the final destination, account country, new-or-existing player rule, qualifying payment and offer deadline. A code listed in search results may be expired or belong to another product.
Confirm that the promotion appears in the authenticated account before depositing.

Save the activation record
Record the code entered, deposit amount, activation time and credited reward. If no reward appears, stop before repeating the deposit and ask whether the account qualified.
Keep cash, bonus credit and free-spin returns as separate ledger lines.
Calculate release progress
Read whether the offer uses staged release, wagering points, eligible games or another trigger. Track only settled qualifying activity and note exclusions.
Check maximum stake, expiry and conversion limits in the accepted rule version. Do not use a later banner to reinterpret the account's offer.

- Converted amount
Verify withdrawable balance
Compare the completed release with the amount available in the withdrawal form. Ask for the exact calculation if the two values differ.
Do not chase a deadline or exceed personal limits to unlock an offer. A promotion is optional; account controls and affordability come first.

Will any PokerStars code work for an Australian account?
No. Verify current product, territory, account and offer eligibility before funding.
