February, 2012 - If you are ready to experience Poker like a pro, it is time you registered an account with the largest online poker room available, PokerStars. Since opening their virtual doors in 2000, PokerStars has provided the best games, banking, software and customer support in the online Poker industry. Everything that PokerStars does is all about keeping their players happy. That is why they update their software regularly, to provide players with the best Poker options and features on the web. Although they were hot from the start, when regular online Poker player Chris Moneymaker won a seat to the WSOP main event by playing in a cheap PokerStars satellite tournament and then went on to win more than one million dollars and a gold bracelet when he took the win, things really started to heat up. Players all over the world saw a regular guy, fresh out of college, winning millions from so little, everyone wanted a piece of the pie which was the beginning of what is known as the Moneymaker craze.
Pokerstars Bonus
Pokerstars is the only online poker room to offer 3 bonuses instead of one. You will receive a 100% match on your first 3 deposits when you enter the codes mentioned below. This means that instead of being forced to make one huge deposit you can make 3 smaller ones and still receive the maximum bonus, which is $600. To claim this bonus you must enter the Poker Stars friend referral code PSP11820 when you signup and the bonus code STARS600. This is the best bonus available at Poker Stars in 2011 and 2012. I have included an image of where you must enter the Pokerstars marketing code to the left. Be sure to click on the friend referral option before typing in our exclusive marketing code. This Pokerstars.com sign up code is the most rewarding in 2011 and 2012. Pokerstars VIP Program
The VIP program at Pokerstars was improved in January of 2011, turning the already #1 ranked VIP program into a loyalty program without peer. As you move up the point ladder you will receive regular free money bonuses ranging from $10 to $50. Each Stellar rewards cash bonus only costs 1 VPP so you'll still be able to cash in your points for iPods, TV's, money and a plethora of other items. There are 5 VIP tiers so as you move up you will be able to earn points 400% faster. In December of 2009 I earned enough points to buy a Nintendo Wii, and that was before the improvements they made to their poker VIP program.
Pokerstars Software
To be the best, PokerStars knew that they couldn't use one of the generic softwares that many other Poker rooms use, instead they had their own personal software designed and created. The PokerStars software is easy to download right to your computer and does not take up much space. One of the great things about the software is that once you have downloaded it to your computer, you will not only have easy access right from your desktop, but anytime that they add new updates to the software, your PokerStars will know and will automatically download the updates before taking you to the PokerStars lobby. Like many online Poker rooms, PokerStars allows you to keep track of your stats, make notes on other players, upload a personal image, block images, block chat and the newest added feature are the great synchronized breaks that cause all tournaments to break from 5 til the hour, to the hour.

Pokerstars Support
Now there are many online Poker rooms that strive to be as great as PokerStars, but the truth of the matter is, they are lacking in 1 or more areas and PokerStars has covered all the bases, including their awesome customer support. The PokerStars customer support team members are not only very friendly, but have also been fully trained in every aspect of PokerStars to assure that they can solve any players' problems. There are a few different ways you can use to contact the PokerStars customer support team around the clock. You can send them a letter the old fashioned way with snail mail, you can send them an email to one of their helpful email addresses, you can give them a call on their toll free number, or you can connect with a live chat representative. Live chat and the phone options are the quickest as email can take up to 48 hours for a response and snail mail will definitely take even longer than that. Both phone and live chat options are instant options that allow you to chat back and forth with a live customer service representative until your problem is solved.
