The move to fanduel has taken what made pokerstars great and destroyed it. There is no notes feature, no hand histories, no custom avatars, no chat to chat with regulars. What made pokerstars great and one of the best platforms out there is gone. They are now no better then any other cheap poorly put together poker site. If you like to spend money on rake with no features then this is a good site for you. Pokerstars and Fulltilt made on line poker great always standing far above other platforms. Pokerstars being the survivor of the government shutdown is now just another cheap poker app designed to take rake and provide an experience of gambling, not playing texas holdem. Thanks for giving up on regular players who want to build skills just to make money off people and take rake with Zero concern for regular players. Pokerstars is just another cheap casino site there is nothing unique or fun about playing cards with them. It's all gone now. It's you the cards and them making money, all the personal experiences and interactions are gone.

Great app lots of games to choose from n plenty of bonuses so even if U have no money U can still have a chance of winning big I win £100 on a daily free spin which considering I didn't have a penny to my name one minute then had a free spin n had £100 I was able to withdraw it instantly n received it in my account within minutes. I treated my dad to a takeaway n got my cats some treats n was able to get a new battery for my mobility scooter so I cannot thank the editors of this game enough.. A+++++

Worst poker site

First of all, worst support experience in the world. Either non existent or working with timeframes "we will respond in 20 minutes". Secondly, total scam poker tournaments just stay away. Scam casino with rigged slots especially "Games Global" provider which they promote as their favorite. And the worst of all, PAYMENTS CAN TAKE UP TO 13 BUSINESS DAYS. BLACKLISTED.

Ugh--bad system all around

Ugh, I have been trying to find my old home game (club) with all of my members to no avail. Uninstalled, reinstalled 5 times and still cannot find my old poker club from last year. So frustrating, not worth the effort.
