U.S. Player Policy

One of the many reasons than PokerStars is the biggest site in the world; Stars still accepts the single biggest buying block in the world, the US audience.

Customer Service

To be honest, there is rarely a reason to even deal with the customer service in your dealings with the well oiled machine that is PokerStars. But in those few instances when you do, an initial email to support@pokerstars.com will be answered promptly and should direct contact be deemed necessary, telephone contact or further will be arranged subsequently.

Tournament Information

To identify only a few of the tournaments on PokerStars would be to single out but a few Yankees from its decades of pinstriped supremacy.

The top of the regular tournament heap is the gleaming jewel of the Sunday $1,000,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool NL Hold’em tournament (first prize of at least $200,000 every week.) Then you’ve got the $500,000 Guaranteed Sunday Warmup ($100,000 first prize,) and the Sunday $200,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool Second Chance tournament (a paltry $50,000 first prize.)

There are more than a dozen $50,000 guaranteed prize pool tournaments run daily on PokerStars (not even counting its many $5,000 Sit-n-Gos.) Every week you can count on at least some special tropical vacation prize laden tournament in addition to the gaggles and gaggles of freerolls, satellites and Sit-n-Gos going too.

Major Promotions

World Championship of Online Poker
PokerStars’ World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) is the biggest, most lucrative and most prestigious online tournament in the world wide web. It features prize pools in excess of $10,000,000 USD amongst its annual events (now running at a tally of 33 yearly.) With some buy-ins reaching $25,000, don’t worry if you’re not supporting a 7 figure bankroll but still want to get involved: satellites (from freerolls and up) run in the months leading up to the WCOOP making it a uniquely accessible high stakes tournament as well.

PokerStars Caribbean Adventure
PokerStars is such a massive entity that it has begun running extremely visible live tournaments as well. In a partnership with the World Poker Tour, PokerStars has been bringing the world the Caribbean Adventure tournament from the Atlantis Paradise Island Hotel in the Bahamas for years now. Winners and participants include Daniel Negreanu, Gus Hansen, David ‘The Dragon” Pham, John Gale, David Singer, Hoyt Corkins and hundreds of other top international poker pros.

Frequent Player Points
PokerStars operates its own VIP program where FPPs play the most integral role in determining a players status level and requisite gift level. For example, members of the basic Bronze Star level may be able to trade in a few hundred FPPs for a poker book or a chip set while the absurd SuperNova Elite level could trade in 3,000,000 FPPs and pick up a Porsche. Seriously, a Porsche.

Both downloads are quick, painless and will usher you from homepage to table in less than twenty minutes.
