Poker Stars Review
Poker Stars is the biggest online poker room in the world and easily has the most amounts of players playing poker in there room. You will never need to worry about not finding action in the Poker Stars poker room because there are always thousands of players playing. In some of the smaller poker rooms it can be difficult to find action, and I hate when this happens. Many pro poker players use Poker Stars to be play poker and the website also has the most satellite tournaments. Players from all around the world including the United States are accepted into PokerStars, and there are easy depositing methods for players in all the countries. There are new players joining the Poker Stars poker room everyday so you should join in on the excitement immediately.
PokerStars Bonus
Poker Stars has never been known as offering the best sign-up bonus and promotions, but in August 2009 they increased their bonus from $50 to $600!! Use marketing code PSP1913 when creating a new account

Apart from the welcome bonus Poker Stars does run the best satellite tournaments with tons of packages and seats into the best live poker tournaments around the globe. They also run a loyalty program that rewards players every time they play poker. The rewards available range from books to limo services to cash and you’ll be able to choose whichever rewards you want based on how many points you have.
Software
Poker Stars uses there own software created by there own team of programmers and you’ll find that it’s one of the most functional software programs out there. Poker Stars recently went through some upgrades and they now have many themes and features players can choose from. There are lots of great new design templates you can play around with, I personally like the black theme which is new. The software I find runs into some connection issues during peak hours, but for the most part the gameplay is smooth and fast. Both PC users and MAC users will be able to download the software application and play it on there computers which most poker rooms don’t allow.
Games
You will be able to play a wide range of stakes at Poker Stars starting at as little as $.01/$.02 games. There is also a wide variety of games to play including Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi/ Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud Hi, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, H.O.R.S.E., H.O.S.E., 2-7 Triple Draw, Five Card Draw, Razz, 2-7 Single Draw Lowball and Badugi. The wide game selection can only be found at Poker Stars and you won’t this big of selection anywhere else. There is lots of ring tables and tournaments that start every minute in the Poker Stars lobby so finding action that will fit your requirements is simple.

Customer Support
Poker Stars like a few other large poker rooms only offer email support, but the support is the best around and very fast to respond. It took them no longer then 90 minutes to contact me when I tested out the email support not long ago.
