Mac PokerStars software:

PokerStars Bonus and Promotions:

PokerStars gives out occasional deposit and reload bonuses, but their main promotion is the VIP club and FPP (frequent player points) store. You can buy anything from iPods to huge plasma TV’s all the way up to an Aston Martin car with your frequent player points.

You earn frequent player points for playing in tournaments and being involved in raked hands. Frequent PokerStars players will move up in VIP tiers for clearing a certain amount of points per month or year. As a higher level VIP you will gain access to special promotions, prizes, freerolls, and higher FPP earn rates.

Traffic:

Pokerstars exceeds 100,000 players at a time, making it the largest online poker room.

• Cash game players can find action any hour of the day at limits ranging from .05/.10 to $1000/$2000 limit and .02/.04 to $200/$400 no limit.
• Tournaments of all limits run non stop around the clock with hundreds to thousands of players in each one.
• Sit and go players will have no problem finding a game between $1 to $5,500 during any time on PokerStars

Competition:

The player strength at PokerStars is well below average these days, meaning there’s a lot of bad players and great game selection. They do have the largest sample size of players after all. You can get away without any table selection at lower limits, but as you start making your way to the high limit games at PokerStars you should keep track of who you should be avoiding in a game.

Support:

The PokerStars support team is at a level that every other poker site should strive to reach. Every time i’ve sent them an email (support@pokerstars.com), I’ve received a genuinely helpful response in less then an hour.

Here are some things that you can request from PokerStars support that you might not know about.

• Your entire cash out and deposit history
• Amount of real money hands you’ve played
• Hand history for every single hand you’ve played
