PokerStars.com - Our business continues as before

Dear PokerStars Player -

As you are probably aware, the United States Congress recently enacted the Safe Port Act which contains provisions relating to Internet gambling.

PokerStars has received extensive expert advice from within and outside the U.S. which concluded that these provisions do not alter the U.S. legal situation with respect to our offering of online poker games. Furthermore it is important to emphasize that the Act does not in any way prohibit you from playing online poker.

Therefore, our business continues as before - open to players worldwide including the US. You may play on our site as you did prior to the Act.

PokerStars believes that poker is a game of skill enjoyed by millions of players and we remain committed to providing you a safe and fun environment in which to play. We value your loyalty to PokerStars, and look forward to continuing to serve you with the best online poker experience, as we have for the past five years, six billion hands, and 40 million tournaments.

Poker Stars

If you are looking for online poker tournaments, Poker Stars should be your first stop. Winning a tournament at Poker Stars could lead to winning a seat at the Word Series of Poker. Former winners Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer gained entrance to the World Series of Poker through Poker Stars.

Poker Stars Weekly Tournament $350,000 Guaranteed Every Sunday!

Frequent Player Points - Everyone Wins!

Win OR lose - the value of your account is guaranteed to grow as you spend time playing the best poker on the Internet at PokerStars!

How can Poker Stars make this guarantee? The answer is the PokerStars Frequent Player Point (FPP) program. With this program, all players are rewarded for the hands they've played. Frequent Player Points can be converted into cash or prizes - but their versatility leaves open additional possibilities for the future.
Here are some of the current Frequent Player Point options:

1. Enter Special Tournaments

The PokerStars Frequent Player Points program makes it easy for you to play in some of the biggest and most prestigious poker tournaments in the world. Throughout the year, we offer FPP super-satellite tournaments to such prestigious events as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour Championship.

2. Enter Cash Tournaments

PokerStars has designed several regularly scheduled tournaments around the FPP program. These tournaments allow you to buy-in using only Frequent Player Points, but they pay cash to the winners.

3. Purchase Gifts

To reward your play on our site, PokerStars offers a range of exciting items from PokerStars baseball caps to 500-chip sets of clay poker chips for use in your home game. The concept is simple...after you accumulate enough points for the item you desire - simply visit the FPP Store (accessible via a button in the Cashier Window) and tell us what you want. We'll deduct the associated number of FPPs from your account and ship the item out to you within 4-6 weeks. It's that easy!
