PokerStars Review
PokerStars is one of the biggest online poker names, but has now been replaced by GGPoker as the number one site in the world. That's why we recommend joining GGPoker, who have WSOP events available.
Founded in 2001 by Isai Scheinberg and Mark Scheinberg, PokerStars has grown into a hugely popular name in the gambling industry.
With its large offering of tournaments and poker variations, everyone from casual to professional poker players love participating on PokerStars.
PokerStars is credited with bringing competitive poker to the masses, with Chris Moneymaker going from playing online poker to winning the prestigious World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 2003.
However, Pokerstars has found itself playing second fiddle to GGPoker in more recent times after the emergence of the new number one in the poker world.
