Basics

Site Name: PokerStars
Network: Microgaming
US Players Accepted: No

PokerStars is the largest poker site in the world, offering massive volume in cash games and tournaments 24 hours a day. It sets the standard in the industry for tournaments as well with an unmatched selection and sit-and-gos at all stakes starting up virtually every second.

The software is also top-notch and offers fast play, high reliability, great multi-table options and a lots of customization – it pretty much sets the bar for the industry there as well.

If you’re looking for a downside, though, it’s probably the inconsistent competition. Because of the huge player base there are some very fierce opponents on the site if you wander into the wrong game.

If you like more obscure poker variations, PokerStars is for you with a wide spread of games offered – Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Seven-Card Stud in all versions, H.O.R.S.E., H.O.S.E., 2-7 Triple Draw, Five-Card Draw, Razz, 2-7 Single Draw Lowball, Badugi, 8-Game, Mixed Hold’em and Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo. By the time you read this, they’ve probably added more.

In addition PokerStars has several features in its software that you won’t find anywhere else including private HomeGames and Time Tourneys.

PokerStars also has a superior loyalty program and becoming a Supernova player is a status that is coveted throughout the online poker community.

Bottom line, PokerStars is one of the best poker sites in the world and if the competition wasn’t so tough at the higher stakes, it would be tough not to rank PokerStars higher.

In 2011 PokerStars was forced out of the U.S. market but its doors are still open to anyone outside of the U.S. and it remains one of the biggest online poker sites in the world.

Real-money player statistics as of April 2015 show 22500 ring-game players at peak hours and 155000 tournament players at peak hours.
