Games and Variety
Whether you prefer
to play Holdem or Razz
you will find every
common variation of
poker in addition to
mixed games at Pokerstars.
Currently players can
choose from *GAMES*
with stakes starting
at the $0.02/$0.04 up
to $200/$400 NL. With
a player base as large
as the poker room has
been able to achieve
you will have no difficulties
in finding a game within
your bankroll, skill
level or variation.
The level of competition
is significantly different
than what most rooms
offer. The micro tables
present a viewed flop
percentage ranging from
46% - 50% with the higher
limits dropping as low
as 41%. PokerStars takes
a 5% rake from each
hand up to $5 per pot.

PokerStars Support
Support
PokerStars provides an amazing support team and as we mentioned earlier they are available in every language the poker room supports. The poker room provides two different departments. The first is for general questions or concerns and is only available through email. Response times are fairly decent given the player base and you can expect a reply within 2-4 hours. The second department is for players who are having difficulties depositing to their account. If this is you simply send this support team an email with your home phone number included and a support rep from Pokerstars will call you and assist you over the phone.
