(PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- PokerNews.com and PokerStars have launched a new and exclusive promotion for PokerNews.com readers. Players that sign up to PokerStars will receive access to a special $25 deposit bonus, plus be eligible for entry to a $15,000 Team PokerNews Aussie Millions freeroll, and monthly $2,500 freerolls.

To qualify for all three offers, players must first sign up to PokerStars through the links available on PokerNews.com (http://www.pokerstars.com/sites/pokernews/?source=pokernews.com), register a new account, and deposit. There are some further requirements specific to each offer.

To receive the free $25 deposit bonus, players must simply earn 100 FPP points through either ring game or tournament play, and the $25 will be automatically released into their account. In addition to this, if players sign up before June 30, they will also be eligible for a 100% up to $50 deposit bonus, which takes the maximum bonus available up to $75 for a $50 deposit. Since FPP points are awarded very quickly at PokerStars, players will be able to reach the bonus in a short amount of time.

In order to enter the $15,000 Team PokerNews Aussie Millions freeroll on September 9 15:00 EST and the $15,000 PokerNews/PokerStars Carribean Adventure freeroll on December 10 15:00 EST, players must earn 100 FPP points in the month before the tournament starts. The $15,000 Team PokerNews Aussie Millions freeroll will award an Aussie Millions package consisting of buyin to the Main Event ($10,500 AUD), plus 10 nights accommodation at the Crown Casino Promenade Hotel and approximately $2,800 for flights and spending money. A further $3,000 will be paid from 2nd through to 9th place.

The winner of the $15,000 PokerNews/PokerStars PCA freeroll will win a $12,000 PokerStars PCA package consisting of an $8,000 buyin to the event, $3,000 for accommodation and meals, plus $1000 for travel. There will be a further $3,000 spread from 2nd through to 9th place.

To enter the monthly $2,500 freerolls which will be held on the second Sunday of every month at 15:00 EST (except the months with Team PokerNews freerolls), you need to accumulate 100 FPP points in the month leading up to the freeroll.

For players that want to enter these freerolls, it is recommended that they complete all requirements (download, signup, deposit and accrue necessary FPP points) at least 24 hours prior to the start of the tournament.
