The world's biggest poker site, PokerStars.com, (http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-stars), has just released a Mac-compatible version of its software, and Mac users can now sign up with a special PokerListings.com (http://www.pokerlistings.com/pokerstars-releases-mac-client-21979) code for a world-best $100 bonus and $25,000 in exclusive cash and live event freerolls in January alone.
The sign-up process is simple:
Step 1: Download the Poker Stars software for your Mac.
Step 2: When creating a new account, open the 'Where did you hear about us?' box and tick the 'Friend referral' circle. Then, under 'enter marketing code,' type in plmac.
Step 3: Deposit using bonus code FIRST2007.
And that's it. Players are then eligible for an exclusive $50 flat bonus on top of the standard $50 Poker Stars match bonus - all told, a world-best $100 at 200% match, exclusive to PokerListings sign-ups.
"I know a lot of poker fans and loyal Mac users" says Camilla Sundell, press secretary for PokerListings.com, "have been looking forward to this for quite a while.
"No more third-party emulators; just a simple, direct download and immediate access to some of the best poker action in the world. And, of course, with everything players have come to expect from the Poker Stars software, save a few small features.
"It's a real coup for Mac users, and in particular for those who take advantage of our unmatched sign-up bonus and exclusive freerolls."
The standard Poker Stars bonus is up to $50 at 100% match, released at 500 Frequent Player Points. The additional PokerListings bonus is released in two increments: The first $25 after collecting 100 FPPs, and the second $25 at 500 FPPs.
Players who sign up through PokerListings.com are also offered exclusive monthly cash and live event freerolls, including $25,000 worth next month alone.
All PokerListings.com players who earn 100 FPPs at Poker Stars in December will automatically qualify for four weekly $2,500 cash freerolls, running every Saturday in January.
All players who earn 500 FPPs in December will qualify for all four cash freerolls plus a $15,000 European Poker Tour freeroll on Jan. 20, where first prize is an all-expenses-paid package to the EPT German Open. A $3,000 cash prize pool will also be spread from second place down.
"For any Mac holdouts out there," Sundell adds, "there's no better time to see what the Poker Stars buzz is all about.
"Massive traffic at all games and stakes. An unmatched tournament schedule. And if you're going to get in, it makes sense to get in with the best of it, and that's through PokerListings.com.
"There's no bigger sign-up bonus, and no better lineup of freerolls, and we hope as many players as possible can take advantage."
