PokerStars Poker Sites & Network

PokerStars.com was launched in 2003 and has since become the largest poker site on the web. The poker room is licensed in the Isle of Man and supersedes all others in terms of software, volume of players, game selection, promotions and of course customer support. The PokerStars Network features one online poker room although players can access the site by visiting either Pokerstars.net or Pokerstars.com. Pokerstars.com caters to both real money and play money players, whereas the .net is for play money traffic only.  The network is multi-lingual, supporting over 15 languages within the software as well as customer support and because the company has diversified globally, they’re able to support more than 200,000 players simultaneously. As the largest poker site online, the Pokerstars Network offers a few perks not available on the other networks. This includes mega sized tournaments with more than $5 million in guaranteed events each week, one of the best VIP programs, rewarding all players on site, and stakes to suit all players from micro to high limit.
