Ready to play poker with real money at PokerStars?
Download our exciting online poker software and you'll be playing at our fast-paced tables in no time! This page will tell you what you need to know about cash deposits and withdrawals. Any questions about playing poker for real money you may have that are not covered in this section are welcome at
support@pokerstars.com.
PokerStars is an online poker room, not a casino. That means you never play against the house, only other poker players over the Internet. We receive compensation by taking a "rake", which is a small amount of money from each pot. This rake from the pot never exceeds $5. At the lower cash limits, PokerStars takes a smaller rake as well. Please see our
rake page for exact rake information.
PokerStars players' poker money and account balances are held in segregated accounts and not used for any of PokerStars' operational expenses. These segregated accounts are managed by a leading European bank. The arrangements ensure that PokerStars can at all times fulfill its monetary obligations toward its online poker players, and will provide further reassurance that players' funds are always secure with PokerStars.
