Poker Stars is the home of two World Series of Poker* Champions, Chris Moneymaker in 2003 and Greg "Fossilman" Raymer in 2004. They are known for hosting great multi-table tournaments, and producing great tournament players. In the 2004 World Series of Poker*, PokerStars qualified 316 total players for the event and 28 of them finished in the money. PokerStars players walked away with nearly $11 million of the $24 million in total prize money. Tournaments now include the Sunday Million tournament where the prize pool is a guaranteed $1 Million Dollars.

PokerStars offers the same games as PartyPoker and EmpirePoker - Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, Sit & Go tournaments, and Multi-Table tournaments. However, they offer a greater range of playing stakes, starting with no-limit blinds as low as $0.01/0.02 with a $5 maximum buy-in, and $0.02-0.04 limit hold'em tables. This is a great way to ease into online poker - these micro-limit stakes offer a more realistic game than the play money game, yet won't break your bank as you learn and develop your online strategy.

The software holds top-class with nice graphics and design and the playability is extremely good and user friendly.

The competition is tough in tournaments and the high stakes games but softer in the lower games.

Support can be reached by e-mail only but is very fast and competent.
