Graphics and Software

The software is pretty decent. Due to the high traffic this site gets, it is a very stable and secure platform and offers most functions you can expect such as good stat tracking and hand history. The lobby is also very functional in terms of stats and filters.

Multi player and resizable windows are standard. You can also have your own custom player and background images.

Deposit Options

Neteller, eChecks, Firepay, Central Coin, Diners Club International, Mastercard, Visa, Maestro (UK), Western Union, Wire Transfer, E-Check, Bank Draft, Check, ePassporte, Neteller, Click-2-Pay, UseMyBank and Money Bookers.

Game Variety

Poker Stars offers a wide variety of the standard games plus some of the rarer ones. You can find everything from 1 cent microstakes all the way up to high stake tables.

Games include: Texas Holdem, Omaha (Hi, Hi-Lo), Seven Card Stud (Hi, Hi-Lo), Draw, Razz, Horse, Hose, Five Card Draw and 2-7 Triple Draw.

There are a ton of tournaments too as Poker Stars is the founder of the European Poker Tour, has more satellites to WSOP than any other room and is also home to the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).

Traffic

Not much needed to be said here. It’s the largest site on the internet and that’s not just US traffic, many European players come here as well.

Strength of Competition

The competition at high stakes is very good but due to the size of the place, there are still many fish to be had on the lower tables.

Frequent Player Incentives

Points can be redeemed for entry into satellites and freerolls or for merchandise.

Support

24/7 email only support (no live chat), albeit pretty good.
