PokerStars Casino brings the poker brand to casino play, with live game-show formats as its calling card. It is licensed state by state in the US, and that stack of regulators is where it scores best.
Slate fit is low because the listing does not mention sports betting, and Banking has a short method list. Availability stops at 3 states.
On a slate day
The book covers casino tables and poker cross-play, with no sportsbook. On a match day it is a place for the tables.
At the cashier
Cards, PayPal, bank transfer and Caesars Cash are listed. The 200% first-deposit match is only open in the 3 licensed states, and wagering applies.
Behind the counter
Mark Scheinberg and his father Isai founded PokerStars in 2001. Amaya bought it in 2014, and Flutter Entertainment has owned it since May 2020.
