Download PokerStars via PokerNetwork and enjoy a 100% match up to $600 first deposit bonus when you enter the marketing code "POKERNETWORK" upon creating your account and the bonus code "STARS600" when you’re making your first deposit.

_{IMPORTANT: You must enter the marketing code POKERNETWORK when you are creating your account otherwise you will not be tracked to PokerNetwork, and will not be able to participate in any of our exclusive promotions at PokerStars.}

PokerStars matches the first three deposits that you make within 90-days of making your first deposit, up to a combined maximum of $600. Once the bonus has been credited to your account, you have 120 days in which to clear the bonus and release it into your account.

Each time you earn 200VPPs, $10 of your bonus is released into your PokerStars account.

There is a second bonus option available to new PokerStars customers, one that awards a free $20. Simply, make your first deposit of at least $20 at PokerStars using the bonus code "FREE20" and PokerStars will add an additional $20 cash to your account within 36 hours. In addition to the free cash, you will also receive up to 124 entries to the $100K Privilege Freeroll that run four times per day.

PokerStars’ VIP scheme can be one of the most profitable for high-volume players. All players automatically start out their PokerStars career as a BronzeStar and as you earn VPPs for your real money play, your status will improve to ChromeStar, SilverStar, GoldStar, PlatinumStar, Supernova and Supernova Elite.

The benefits increase as you progress up the various VIP levels, but be warned that only the most dedicated of poker players reach Supernova and Supernova Elite.

The rate at which VPPs are earned depends on the game and stakes played for and the number of players at your table. Be sure to check out the PokerStars website once you have created your account via PokerNetwork

About PokerStars

PokerStars has been in business since 2001, making it one of the longest-running online poker sites in the world. Since its creation, PokerStars has grown exponentially and is now by far the market-leader in the online poker industry.

In addition to the busiest and widest variety of cash games, PokerStars is the home to the biggest weekly online poker tournament – the Sunday Million – and hosts massive online festivals such as the Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP), MicroMillions, Turbo Championship Of Online Poker (TCOOP) and the daddy of them all, the World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP).

After the collapse of the old Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars stepped in and acquired Full Tilt Poker’s assets for $731 million, which allowed Full Tilt Poker’s customers to be repaid. This happened in June 2012 and two years later, in 2014, Amaya Gaming acquired both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker in a $4.9 billion deal.

Games Offered at PokerStars

PokerStars spreads a wide variety of cash games and tournaments including:

• Texas Hold’em
• Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo
• Omaha Hi/Lo
• Five Card Omaha and 5 Card Omaha Hi/Lo
• Five Card Draw
• Seven Card Stud and Stud Hi/lo
• Razz
• Single Draw Lowball 2-7
• Triple Draw Lowball 2-7
• 8-Game Mix
• Courchevel and Courchevel Hi/Lo
• H.O.R.S.E
• Badugi
• Fast fold variants of Hold’em and Omaha

As mentioned previously, PokerStars is the home to the WCOOP, SCOOP, TCOOP, MicroMillions and weekly tournaments such as the Sunday Million. You can also qualify for major live events with PokerStars including the European Poker Tour (EPT), PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) and many more.

Zoom Poker

Zoom Poker is PokerStars' offering to the "fast-fold" craze: an exciting and exhilarating way to play online poker.

The rules are the same as those of a standard poker game, but you can be dealt up to 300 hands per hour on each table you sit at! How is this possible? Easy, because instead of being seated at a single table with the same opponents and stay at the same table until you leave (like it would happen in a "normal" game) you are entered into a pool of players.

Which means that when you fold, you are whisked away and placed at a new table with new opponents and a new hand is dealt straight away.

You can even fold before the action gets to you, so if you are dealt on the button and don’t want to play this trash hand, simply click the "Fast Fold" button and you will be moved to a new table and dealt another hand immediately!

Your opponents on your old table will not know you have folded until the action gets to you, by which time you could have been dealt two or three more hands!

This is the fastest way to play poker on the Internet, and can see you log tons of volume, clear bonuses and climb up the VIP scheme quicker than ever before.

PokerStars Home Games

PokerStars allows you to create private cash games and tournaments via the Home Games feature. This special facility is provided so you can play against friends, create leagues and clubs all through the excellent PokerStars software.

Home Games is perfect for those of you who want to play against your friends and only your friends, but never seem to be able to get together in person. That and for members of poker clubs and forums who want to battle it out at the virtual felt against their own members without having to find a public table.
