PokerStars is the market leader in online poker tournaments and second in ring game traffic, and brings in thousands of new real money players on a daily basis. It has a very ambitious weekly program of both fixed schedule and sit-and-go tournaments, where many high stakes games are available. The software is top-notch in terms of functionality, layout, and graphics. With such a large player base, the opposition ranges from soft to very high quality – and there are lots of opportunities to compete with top players for anyone interested in improving their skills. In addition, the customer support is well above average.
Overall, PokerStars is very professionally managed with a real “feel for poker” and offers a nice VIP program for loyal players. There is currently no sign-up bonus.
Real money player statistics:
11,000-11,700 ring game players at peak hours; 85,000-90,000 tournament players at peak hours.
