PokerStars Download

Ready to try out PokerStars? Download PokerStars and start enjoying the best online poker experience available! PokerStars is the largest online poker room on the web and is known to have customer service that is second to none. The PokerStars download is constantly pushing the envelope, and they provide a separate client for Mac users.

Beginning your PokerStars experience is a piece of cake. Players must access their site and download PokerStars’ installation file. The installation file is 10.6 megabytes large and should download quickly using most bandwidth connections. After players download PokerStars, they must install it onto their computer. PokerStars has made it easy for players to install their software client. Generally, players should select the “Next” button on each step until the PokerStars software client is installed. For a more in-depth look at the PokerStars setup wizard, please review the next paragraph. If you have gone ahead and installed PokerStars, the next paragraph can be bypassed.

The PokerStars setup wizard is very easy to understand. The file is called “PokerStarsInstall.exe.” Running this application will open a window that allows players to choose from 26 languages to install the PokerStars software client. After selecting a language and clicking next, players are provided with the license terms before the install begins. To install the software client, players must agree to these terms. It is suggested that every player read this agreement before installation. Lastly, players are presented with the final installation page. Players may choose from Express install or Custom install. Custom install lets players choose where to place shortcuts, install an Internet Explorer toolbar, and make a specific folder to place the PokerStars application. The entire installation will only use about 50 Megabytes of hard drive space, a small percentage of the massive hard drives installed in computers today.

After installing and opening the PokerStars download, players are brought to the lobby and are asked to create a new account. The first screen allows players to choose a User ID and make a password. A password must be eight characters long, may not contain the User ID, must start with a letter, must contain at minimum one number, and may not start with the letters “tmp”. Players are recommended to create a lengthy password with mixture of letters and numbers which would be nearly impossible to deduce. Remember that your hard-earned cash will be at stake! The PokerStars password gauge rates the strength of one’s password. When it turns green, the password is secure and hard to guess.

After making a User ID and password, players may create an avatar to accompany their User ID. Note that picking an avatar is completely optional. The proceeding screen prompts players for their personal information. A player’s full name, gender, city, country, and email are all required to start an account at PokerStars. All other fields are optional.

The next screen will request that users certify they are over 18 years of age. After confirming and clicking the “Next” button, players proceed to a page where they are asked to enter a marketing code. This window is the most important window of the installation process. To compete in FlopTurnRiver’s exclusive monthly freerolls and money-added tournaments, players must enter “FLOPTURNRIVER” as the PokerStars marketing code. Also, you may want to choose “Web Site” and enter in “FlopTurnRiver.com” as a means of finding PokerStars.

After clicking “Next >” two more times, players are ready to enjoy online poker at the largest poker site in the world. The next step is to deposit money onto Stars. This step is very simple to do, especially using eChecks. When making the first deposit, be sure to get the initial deposit bonus by using the PokerStars Bonus Code STARS600. This will also let players compete in exclusive monthly freerolls and tournaments. After the deposit, players can begin playing at any table of their choosing.
