PokerStars Review

PokerStars

Is a living legend and it doesn’t really matter where you are from, if you ever had the chance to watch Poker tournaments on Television, or used Google to look for a large internet poker site then you most certainly came across the name PokerStars at one time or the other.

Currently Available in 28 languages excluding English and offers a generous $600 welcome bonus, PokerStars was launched over 10 years ago back in March of 2001 and quickly became an authority in the internet poker scene.
Ever since the announcement of the unlawful gambling enforcement act back in 2006, PokerStars has grown to be the largest internet poker site in existence, leading the industry to a new era in internet poker.
PokerStars does not follow the Unlawful Gaming law and even in case that you are from the United States or Canada, you can still participate in online poker games by using PokerStars’ first-class poker software.

PokerStars Look and Feel:

PokerStars has a slick designed website which is fairly simple in today’s web-design world.
A dark-driven website design featuring their “PokerStars players” who welcomes people to join pokerstars and get the chance to play against them.
Even though the design is quite simple, don’t let that mislead you; PokerStars is a truly a work of art when it comes to effectiveness and the poker software you download.
The dark-gray scene along with the red coating all around the website and the poker client truly makes you feel as if you are playing in a Las-Vegas land based casino.
Even though we personally think that Full Tilt Poker’s design is slightly better, the poker software is truly a work of art and it is the largest poker site for a reason.

PokerStars Players and Competition:

Player volume is obviously the major advantage in PokerStars.
At any given moment you will be able to find an online poker table to join and play with people all around the world. It does not matter if you are from Sweden or from the U.S.A nor does the local time matters. It’s true that the poker software is highly occupied at U.S playing hours which are usually around 20:00-23:00 CST, but if you login to the poker software at any given moment you will find at-least 100,000 poker players participating in poker tournaments, heads up matches and Free-rolls.
Due to the mentioned above there is a major draw-back when it comes to playing at PokerStars due to the fact that the poker platform is packed with experienced poker players from all around the world and the competition is very strong.
If you are a newbie poker player just looking to practice using PokerStar’s demo tables then that is the perfect platform for you.
On the other hand; if you are new to real-money poker games and would like to trial how internet poker works for real money then using PokerStars is not recommended since the competition is too tight for newbie’s and may result in losing a bit too much.
For that reason and for that reason only – we highly recommend newbie’s to online poker to join Full Tilt Poker instead and in case you know how online poker works – PokerStars will certainly be your poker platform.

PokerStars Celebrities:

PokerStars features high-stake celebrities worldwide.
You can find players like Daniel Negreanu, Joe Cada, Vanessa Rousso and Chris MoneyMaker actively participating in high-stakes poker matches on a daily basis.
These players are sponsored by PokerStars and are a part of their “Team PokerStars”.
Playing against them is possible but requires a fairly bit of investment along with acknowledgment that you are playing against some of the top poker players around. In other words – It could be a good adventure but may result in losing some money.

PokerStars Support:

PokerStars possesses a support staff worldwide.
As being the largest poker platform with a great number of poker players worldwide; PokerStars does make a great effort to make everyone feel at home when playing in their poker platform.
You can reach technical as well as professional customer support worldwide in all the available languages.
One thing we really don’t like about PokerStars’ support is the fact that it’s available via Email only.
While their customer care is prompt and professional, a huge company like PokerStars does need to provide customer support at least by phone.
It’s not a real reason not to use PokerStars since their platform is updated many times every day and is generally stable and secure so if you are looking for a the real-deal for internet poker, don’t hesitate to join PokerStars only because of their limited customer support.
