Download PokerStars

There are hundreds of poker sites on the net. With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to choose the top money poker sites. Certainly, players desire large bonuses and tons of action. If a question arises, first-class support should be available 24/7 to answer any questions. Their software should be cutting edge and Mac Poker compatible. All these criteria point to one poker room: PokerStars. PokerStars has more players than any other online poker room on the web and is known to have the best customer service around. Their software is continually pushing the envelope and they provide a separate client for Mac users. Competitors who want to start playing online poker should download PokerStars immediately.

Getting started with the PokerStars Download is simple. Players must go to PokerStars.com and download PokerStars' installation program. The installation file is 10.6 MBs and should not take more than a minute to download using most bandwidth connections. After players download PokerStars, they should then install it onto their machine. PokerStars has made it easy for players to install their software. Generally, players should click the "Next" button on each step until the program is installed. For more details on the PokerStars setup wizard, please read the next paragraph. If you have gone ahead and installed the PokerStars client, the next paragraph may be bypassed.

The PokerStars setup wizard is simple to understand. Just one of the reasons why they are the one of the best US poker sites. The installer file is named "PokerStarsInstall.exe." Running this application will open a window that allows players to choose from 26 different languages to install the PokerStars software client. After making a language selection and clicking next, players are shown the license terms before the install begins. To continue with the installation, players must accept these terms. It is recommended that all players read this agreement prior to installing. Finally, players are brought to the final installation page. Players have the option of an Express install or Custom install. Custom install allows players to choose where to put shortcuts, install an Internet Explorer toolbar, and make a specific folder to put the PokerStars application. If you need any more help installing the program, check out the PokerStars website, which also contains a host of free poker training information. The complete installation will only take up about 50 MB of hard drive space, a very small portion of the huge hard drives installed in computers today.

After installing and opening PokerStars, players are taken 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 in length, 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". It is suggested that players create a long password with an array of letters and numbers which would be nearly impossible to guess. Remember that your hard-earned cash will be at stake! The PokerStars password gauge rates the strength of one's password. When it becomes green, the password is secure and complicated to guess.

After creating a User ID and password, players may create an avatar to go along with their User ID. Please note this is completely optional. Most of the top texas holdem sites have a facility that allows players to customize their appearance at the table. The next screen prompts players for their personal information. A player's full name, sex, city, country, and email are all necessary to create an account at PokerStars. All other fields are optional.

The next screen will ask users to confirm they are over 18 years of age. After confirming and clicking the "Next" button, players are brought to a page where they are asked to enter a marketing code. This window is the most important part of the installation process. To compete in FlopTurnRiver's exclusive monthly freerolls and money-added tournaments, players must enter "STARS600" as the PokerStars marketing code. Also, you may want to choose "Web Site" and type in “FlopTurnRiver.com” as a means of finding PokerStars.

After clicking "Next >" twice more, players are ready to dive into the world of online poker at the world's largest poker site. The next step is to deposit money onto the site. It is extremely easy to do, especially using eChecks. When making the first deposit, be sure to get the initial deposit bonus by entering the PokerStars Bonus Code STARS600. This will also allow players access to exclusive monthly freerolls and tournaments. After the deposit, players can start playing at any table they would like. Make sure you stay updated with FlopTurnRiver to stay informed on our exclusive freerolls and tournaments!
