General – PokerStars is arguably the world’s top online poker room. PokerStars is home to more players than any other online poker room. There are over 100,000 players online at peak playing hours. No matter which type of game or limit you are looking to play there will always be a table for you to play at. PokerStars also offers a great loyalty program for their players. Players automatically receive points which can later be cashed in for great prizes or cash.
Bonus – PokerStars offers a 100% match bonus up to $50 for players using the marketing code PAWSUB443. Players using our marketing code will also get entry into exclusive PokerNews freerolls, with prizepools that can top $10,000. That means when new players deposit at PokerStars they will receive a 100% match of their deposit up to the maximum $50. In order to release the bonus money players must earn 10 times the bonus amount in Frequent Player Points (FPPs). For example, if the player’s bonus was $30 they would have to earn 300 FPPs before the bonus would be released. FPPs are automatically collected through playing at real money cash games and tournaments. Five FPPs are given for every dollar in tournament fees and up to three FPPs are given in every hand at cash tables. Once the clearing conditions are met the bonus is automatically deposited into the players account balance.
Competition – The competition at PokerStars is generally a little stronger than most rooms because of the mass amount of players that are at the tables. With that said, there are also a lot of weak players at the tables. The high stake cash tables and tournaments are pretty competitive, while the lower limits are a lot more beatable. I would suggest checking out the tables at PokerStars for weak players before sitting down to play. If you are a high stake player it won’t be uncommon to see some famous poker pros at the tables.
Software and Games – Although Poker Stars software is very basic it is one of the top online poker software. It is very easy to navigate when looking for games and the software never crashes. Players can customize the looks by choosing the table skin along with personal avatars. PokerStars offers the most popular games including Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo, 5 Card Draw and Razz. Games can be found for blinds as low as $.01/$.02 and players can choose to sit at a regular, shorthanded or heads up tables.
Tournaments – Poker Stars is famous for their exceptional tournaments. Tournaments are starting every second of the day and you are guaranteed to find a tournament that fits your style. Tournament buy-ins range from as low as $0.10 up to the highest stakes. PokerStars is famous for their Sunday Million tournament in which the prize pool is guaranteed to be at least one million dollars. Players can buy-in directly to the Sunday Million tournament or win a seat through freerolls or satellites. PokerStars also offers a lot of great chances for players to win seats to famous live events such as the WSOP and WPT through their daily qualifiers.
