PokerStars US Casino Review

Welcome Bonus

New players who wager at least $1 within the first five days of creating their account, can receive a $50 instant bonus. To get this promotion, players must opt-in to the promotion by heading to the My PokerStars Menu and click on the ‘Challenges’ page. As always, it’s good to read the terms and conditions of each and every bonus that tickles your fancy. The ones for this particular bonus explain that this bonus can be used on all casino games, but must be used, and wagering requirements must be met, within seven days of receiving it. The wagering requirements here are to earn two (2) redemption points for every $1 of bonus money awarded, in other words 100 redemption points within seven days. Just in case you are wondering, redemption points are earned every time you play a real-money casino game on PokerStars Casino, with each type of casino game needing different amounts of money wagered to earn you a redemption point (hint: Video Slots are your best bet!).

Daily Instant Bonus

Every day, PokerStars Casino also gives you the chance to get an extra instant bonus. This must also be opted into through the My PokerStars Menu, and the rewards range in size with a $500 bonus being the top prize. The terms and conditions, which we recommend reading, state that two redemption points need to be earned for every $1 of bonus money received within seven days for the bonus to be cleared.

Tuesday Treat

If you’ve got a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account and a casino account, then you could win an extra $50 bonus every Tuesday. All you need to do is follow the brand on Facebook (@StarsCasinobyPokerStars), Instagram (@Stars_Casino), or Twitter (@StarsCasino), answer the question posted every Tuesday on any of these platforms, and share the post. Five lucky winners will get $50 each. Always read the terms and conditions!

Slots

Like all casinos, PokerStars has a decent range of video slots on offer including iconic titles like NetEnt’s Dead or Alive?, Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, and Conan the Barbarian. Users will also find a handful of exclusive titles only available to players of this casino, as well as a number of Megaways slots, which have an updated mechanism that gives you more wins.

Card & Table Games

European and American roulette, blackjack, baccarat, deuces wild, and poker are among the card and table games available to players on PokerStars Casino. These games are played against the computer, with a random number generator (RNG) controlling the gameplay. Don’t worry, though, these RNGs are certified to be fair and will not alter your chances of winning.

Live Dealer Casino Games

If you want to live the excitement experienced at a brick-and-mortar casino, then live dealer casino games are what you should be playing. In this section, you will find games like blackjack, baccarat, and roulette which are overseen by a real-life dealer with who you can engage with and observe.

Customer Support

Having a casino you can count on is incredibly important, especially since you’re going to be giving them your personal and banking details. In this area, PokerStars Casino does not disappoint. For a start, the brand has an extensive help section where everything from mobile connection stability to resetting a forgotten password are explored. There’s not much you can’t have answered here, but if your problem is more particular, then you can contact them directly once you are signed in. To do this, you will need to head to the Contact Us section, which you can get to by following these steps: Account > Settings & Tools > Support > Contact Support/Help > Contact Us! The casino usually answers queries pretty quickly and efficiently.

Safety & Security

Safety should always be your main concern when playing online casino games, and this is where a brand like PokerStars is so desirable. Since 2001, PokerStars has been one of the top players in the industry, and it has catered to thousands upon thousands of players from across the globe. A reputation like this wouldn’t have been possible to pull off if the brand had not kept its end of the deal and protected its clients throughout its history. On top of that guarantee, there are also other things you can look for to ensure the casino is indeed safe. Next to the PokerStars Casino URL, you will notice a little lock icon. This means that the site is SSL-encrypted, which is no many words means that any information exchanged between your device and the site cannot be accessed by any unwanted third parties.

Mobile Casino

If you’re one of the thousands of Michigan and Pennsylvania punters who enjoy playing casino games on your iPhone or iPad, or your Android phone or tablet, then PokerStars Casino is totally for you. The casino has a dedicated app, which can be downloaded directly from Apple’s App Store or Google Play (just search for ‘PokerStars Casino’). This app is visually stunning and technically accessible to everyone. In fact, it makes gameplay that much easier as it has features that cannot be found on the desktop site, with the most important of them being the tool that helps you filter out play money or real-money apps with ease. Of course, as is typical for such apps, there are fewer game titles on it than there are on the desktop site, but there are still many games to choose from and PokerStars Casino is planning on adding more in the near future.
