About PokerStars
PokerStars is an online poker cardroom owned by Amaya Inc. It can be accessed through downloadable poker clients for the Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
A PokerStars online satellite tournament produced the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion, Chris Moneymaker. As the first person to become a world champion by qualifying at an online poker site, Moneymaker's 2003 win was an important factor in catalysing the poker boom of the mid-2000s. The press has called this the "Moneymaker effect."
PokerStars is the largest online poker site in the world, controlling over two-thirds of the total online poker market. PokerStars offers a large number of poker variations: Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo (8 or Better), Courchevel, Stud, Stud Hi/Lo (8 or Better), Razz, Five-card draw, 2-7 Triple Draw & 2-7 Single Draw, Badugi, HORSE, HOSE, Mixed Hold'em, Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo, Triple Stud and 8-Game Mix. PokerStars also offers "Mixed Games," which rotate through several of these games.
PokerStars averages over 15,000 players playing real money cash games daily.
