For all the bad that Stars is now, its just SO DAMN HARD to stay away from the client. since the best way to protest its downfall since AMAYA took over is to uninstall it. However with the number of players, games, and variety of options at any one time - not to mention the prize pools it just makes its down fall near impossible. More so now as rooms like ACR and PARTY try and promote a special guarantee for a exuberant buy in....Stars has just gone an HAVLED the Sunday Million and Sunday Storm buyins but kept the same guarantees for the next TWO weekends. dammit!

Ok, Stars is the number 1 online poker room, but it seems that Amay destroyed Stars step by step. Bad promos in the last time, the vip system are down and neverending suckouts... I hope this site have a comeback for real poker fans, not only for gambler like in the last years.

this is not first time that they offer sunday million for half price!they offer that from time to time!but they must fight somewhove with other poker rooms!maybe two years ago,everything was different,now poker clients doesnt look on poker sites anymore!
Of course now when PokerStars is no longer so clearly in the lead in the list of poker rooms they have to look for additional opportunities to attract players .... I did not work for a long time ... I started working now but I do not really want to play there anymore

In this moment pokerstars is BIGGEST FRAUD ONLINE with little players or more. Except for classes platinum+. Is number one in ROBBERY. That's something I've never seen before in my life. Horror cards and a garbage software which simply destroys you. Shame on you amaya group i hope you regret it very much.

One way or another they have the biggest share on the market. Huge player base with all kinds of games, that you can play almost any time of the day, along with big prizes are enough reasons to keep them there. And of course when you add such offers how you can stay away Good luck to the ones taking that offer.

Mober when you lose always and again and again, you lose all the fun of the games. So I lost for a while and i just did not play with real money in pokerstars. I'm very disappointed as a poker room which is the number one in the world can do that. The time spent there in Pokerstars he did not help me at all. I will not play in my life in pokerstars if they will not change something for the better. Good Luck with your games in Pokerstars.

He's right with some comments about pokerstars and how bad they treat users. They do not let the beginners progress and neither the players with chrome and silver level where it is evident as it is my case, they do not let you advance with the bankroll, that is why I play very little in the room.-

If the pokerstars vip started to complain about this poker room it is clear that there are many problems all to the detriment of the players. If the pokerstars will continue to make things in his favor then players will be upset and they will have to leave. Amaya group hurt everything and does not take care of the players

totally Im on the second level of box despite losing 100$ over the last month and just went through $10 and the progress hardly moved -_- I dont know what it is but its just so sick I snare the set on the flop then he runner runners his set in omaha or people call all the way with literally nothing then rebuy and still play s**t but runner runner flush or the way the play has gone you are like 'well surely they cant of called all the way with 57' 'call' 'they show 57' ffs.
the software rewards the bad players but then make it impossible for all the people at the bottom to move up. I love live poker because of how s**t online is, but our local casino no longer has poker because they rather pokies

Despite all this, I try to play very little in the room because I know that in the long run they will always strip me the bankroll. I play only major tournaments such as I'm going to take advantage of the sunday million for half the buy in.

It's good that you have not lost confidence in this poker room. If they are really correct i hope you to earn a large amount of money. I have tried a good time to play and the pokerstars software always shattered my dreams in a horrible way. I was horrified for what I saw and me no confidence in this pokerstars.

Today, for example, I played the sunday million because it was very interesting to play because it paid half of the buy in of 215 dollars. I am not a regular player of the room but I only play important tournaments like this one, always taking the precaution in this room since as everyone knows it is a danger!
