We've had a few queries about how the
Pokerstars Marketing code works as there is also a bonus code that should be used as well. The system is a little different than most poker rooms so we can understand why some players are a little confused as to where they should enter their code.
Basically the PokerStars Marketing Code is used when you first register at the site (when you first enter your personal details), and the Pokerstars bonus code is used when you make your first deposit (even if that is a few weeks or months after you first register). Both codes should be used to ensure you receive your maximum bonus.

Rumours that this change has been on the cards have been circulating since WSOP 07, but only today at a Media Conference at 4pm UK (11am New York) will the rumour be confirmed (or not) as truth. Basically, instead of the final table being played there and then in Vegas in July the action will be put on hold until Nov 9th when the final nine will sit around the final table - the remaining two will go heads up on 10th November for the title. ESPN will broadcast the action on 11th November with the winner receiving the title and being crowned live on TV that night.
Reaction to the change in WSOP schedule is mixed, it is ...
