PokerStars Review

Everyone will remember the day the FBI stopped US players from playing at PokerStars. However, PokerStars was, and still is, a true giant in the online poker world. The site towers over its competition, boasting the largest number of real money players and some of the largest guaranteed tournament payouts.

Pro Player Endorsements

To ensure they stay at the top, PokerStars sponsors an army of logo-clad pros and celebrity players who can be seen at every major poker tournament on the planet. Sit down at a live tournament table and chances are you'll rub elbows with at least one of them, such as Daniel Negreanu, Greg Raymer, and Isabelle Mercier. Celebrity poker ambassadors such as NHL Hockey Star Mats Sundin also prop up the PokerStars.eu brand, enabling the site to reach an even larger audience.

Get Playing in Minutes

PokerStars.eu / www.PokerStars.eu is a stand-alone poker site, meaning they don't rely on a network of multiple sites to provide their traffic. PokerStars.com has been seized by the US government, so the site now operates from www.pokerstars.eu. From here you can download the software, and be playing at some of the best online poker tables. And all it takes is a few clicks of your mouse!

Tournament Action

If you're a tournament player then PokerStars.eu / www.PokerStars.eu is going to feel like heaven. There are daily guaranteed tournaments that offer satellites into major events such as the PokerStars Sunday Million, the Sunday Warm-Up with its 500K guarantee, and an almost countless array of smaller Sit and Go single table tournaments with buy-ins as high as $5,000. There are also smaller tournaments for those with more modest bankrolls, as well as plenty of freerolls to let you get your feet wet without breaking the bank. PokerSites.com players get access to exclusive freerolls totaling up to $2500 each month.

Poker Formats

Responding to the needs of both the Mac poker and PC poker communities, you have a choice of the free downloadable PokerStars.eu client to enjoy a range of poker games such as:

  • Texas hold'em
  • Omaha (high and high-low)
  • 7 Card Stud (high and high-low)
  • Razz
  • HORSE (Hold'em, Omaha high-low, Razz, Stud high, Stud high-low)
  • New 8-Game Mix (HORSE plus No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, and 2-7 triple draw)
  • Five Card Draw
  • 2-7 Triple and Single Draw
  • Budagi

Software and Gameplay

Once you download PokerStars from PokerStars.eu / www.PokerStars.eu, you will notice the software runs very smoothly and offers many options from a multi-color card deck to sizeable tables if you'd like play more than a single table at any given time. The layout is very intuitive and allows for a nice gaming experience as you click your way to a monster poker bankroll.

VIP Program

Playing at PokerStars.eu allows you to accumulate a healthy balance of VPP's (VIP Player Points) that can be used to buy into tournaments, purchase gifts in the VIP store (fancy a new Porsche?), or even exchange them for a cash bonus.

Mobile

From the palm of your hand, and the tips of your fingers, you can get going with the great games at PokerStars while you’re on the move.

This will let you instantly select and be seated at your ring or tournament game. You can also choose personalised avatars and table designs, helping to make your gambling experience more personal and tailored to you. Multi-tabling is a fantastic feature too, which is becoming more popular on casino apps.
