PokerStars.net: Legit or a Scam?
If you play poker, you know about Pokerstars.com. It has been a dominant force in online poker for years, having dominated the competition since 2006.
It is believed that the cash game traffic on Pokerstars.com is two times as high during its lowest hours as its competition during its peak times. The site has roughly 19,000 cash-game players while the site that is second has just about 3,000. There is no question to how popular Pokerstars.com is with both new and experienced poker players.
Key Features
Safety
One of the features that makes Pokerstars.com so popular is that it uses the latest technology available. This helps the site to ensure fair gameplay for all members and that player data is always safe and secure. In addition, financial transactions can be trusted.
Fairness
This goes along with safety but Pokerstars.com has taken legitimate steps toward ensuring gameplay is fair for all players. I really like this feature and I imagine it is one of the reasons the site is so popular with gamers.
The site uses game integrity experts who are charged with making sure there are no players who have an advantage over others during gameplay.
Mobile
I really like that you can do virtually everything on your mobile device that you can do on your computer. All of the same features are available as well as the support, meaning you never have to miss out on an opportunity, even if you are on the go. Just download the application on your phone and you are good to go. I’ve found that the mobile app really does work just as well as the computer software.
Promotions
I found that there are really great promotion opportunities on this site. Bonuses are almost always available, especially if you are a new player on the site.
Noteworthy Weaknesses
No Live Chat
I really don’t like when sites do not offer a live chat option. If I have questions, I want to be able to access support right away instead of waiting a lengthy amount of time for an answer. Unfortunately, Pokerstars.com does not offer a live chat feature, which is really disappointing, especially with a site that is this popular.
Pros:
- Available for mobile play
- Great safety features
Cons:
- No live chat feature available
