Poker Room Details

PokerStars has long been the leader of the online poker world, pretty much since the early days of Texas Hold’em’s explosion into the mainstream. It’s long had the most players, the most events, and some of the best promotions around. And despite the long run of success, complacency has yet to set in, and PokerStars continue to be the industry leader in online poker for a reason.

The sheer amount of promotions and events at PokerStars is truly staggering. If you’re a serious poker player especially, it’s hard to recommend any other online poker room to play it. You have the greatest access to satellite tournaments for live events, as well as players of all skill levels to play at its many tables, of all blind values.

On the deposit front, new Aussie players get a $AU20 bonus upon their first deposit, in addition to a matching bonus of 100% up to $AU600 on that deposit. They also get access to a $AU100,000 priveleged freeroll tournament, an additional great chance to boost their bankroll.

From there it’s nothing but promotions a-plenty, such as Sit and Go events with massive jackpots, the Sunday Millions, Women’s Sundays, and Sunday Majors (don’t make plans on Sunday if you like online poker). Those are only the global promotions, in addition to those there are regional promotions like the ANZ Tournament Leader Board, which is open only to players from Australia and New Zealand, and rewards them with free tournament entry tickets for placing in the top 20 on the board.

The PokerStars software was another factor in its rise to success, and it hasn’t lost anything over the years. It’s still fast, functional, and pleasant to the eye, with a wealth of options for customizing the look and playing experience while using it. PokerStars also has a mobile app now that also stands as one of the more impressive apps technically, and looks nearly identical to the full version. Add in 24/7 customer service for Australian players, and it’s no wonder PokerStars is still the most played online poker site in the world, and showing no signs of slowing down.
