Play Money tables are available
You can use Play Money tables to practise games without financial risk. Real-money and play-money options are both available across the platform.
Pokies include well-known studios and different play styles
The pokie library includes titles from studios such as Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Quickspin, Red Tiger Gaming and Yggdrasil Gaming. In total, games come from 38 studios, giving the library a mix of themes, layouts and bonus features.
Some popular titles available include Gates of Olympus, Big Blue Bounty, Age of the Gods: God of Storms, Floating Dragon Hold and Spin, Sugar Rush, Sweet Bonanza, Book of Dead and Fortune of Olympus. The exact maths and maximum payouts vary by title, so it is worth checking the individual game information before you play.
| Game | Studio | RTP | Maximum payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age of the Gods: God of Storms | Playtech | 96.14% | 2,500x stake |
| Big Blue Bounty | The Stars Group | 96.90% | 20,000x stake |
| Gates of Olympus | Pragmatic Play | 95.50% | 5,000x stake |
| Great Rhino Megaways | Pragmatic Play | 94.69% | 20,000x stake |
| Greedy Wolf | Pragmatic Play | 95.45% | 3,000x stake |
RTP means return to player and is a long-run theoretical figure, not a promise for one session. A game can have a stated RTP and still produce short-term wins or losses. Set a budget before you start, and treat the numbers as information rather than a prediction.
Live casino brings dealer-led tables to the screen
The live casino section includes live blackjack, roulette, baccarat, bingo, dice games and poker. It also includes live shows and other live games, so you can move beyond standard digital casino formats when you want a dealer-led experience.
Live casino games are powered by Evolution Gaming and Playtech. The game type stays familiar, but the live format adds a streamed table and dealer interaction. You still need to understand the rules and betting limits for the individual table before joining.
Choose the table before you choose the stake
Different tables can use different limits and rules. Start by checking the table details, then decide whether it fits the amount you planned to spend.
Poker offers cash games, tournaments and fast formats
Poker is a major part of the PokerStars Casino games selection. Available variants include Texas Hold'em, Omaha, 5 Card Omaha, 5 Card Omaha Hi/Lo, 6 Card Omaha, 6+ Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, 2-7 Triple Draw, 2-7 Single Draw, 8-Game Mix and HORSE.
You can choose from cash games, Multi-Table Tournaments, Spin & Go, Zoom, All-In Poker and Power Path. Cash games let you play individual hands at a table, while tournaments use an entry structure and continue until the field is reduced. Spin & Go and Zoom offer quicker alternatives, although the format and pace are different.
| Format | How it differs |
|---|---|
| Cash games | Play individual hands at a table |
| Multi-Table Tournaments | Compete in a larger tournament field |
| Spin & Go | A faster poker tournament format |
| Zoom | A quick-play poker format |
| All-In Poker and Power Path | Additional PokerStars poker formats |
Tournament players can also find freerolls, bounty tournaments and satellite qualifying tournaments. Freerolls have no monetary entry fee. Bounty tournaments award prizes for eliminating competitors, while satellites can provide a qualifying route into another tournament.
The Spring Championship of Online Poker, known as SCOOP, and the World Championship of Online Poker, known as WCOOP, are the flagship tournament series. Daily challenges and Spin of the Day are also part of the wider promotional play environment, with prizes such as bonus amounts and Spin & Go tickets stated for those offers.
How to choose a game without overcomplicating it
A simple way to narrow the choice is to decide whether you want chance-based play, table decisions, live interaction or poker competition. You do not need to learn every format at once. Pick one category, check the rules and start with a stake that matches your entertainment budget.
- Pick the game familyChoose pokies, a table game, live casino or poker based on the type of session you want.
- Check the individual detailsLook at the rules, RTP where provided, maximum payout information and the table or game limits.
- Set your spending boundaryDecide how much you are comfortable using before the session begins. Do not increase it to chase a result.
- Try Play Money firstUse Play Money tables to get familiar with a format before considering real-money play.
- Take a breakKeep sessions within the time you planned. Session limits, deposit limits and cooling-off tools are available if you want extra structure.
For table games, learn the basic rules before staking money. For pokies, compare the displayed information rather than assuming a familiar theme means the same maths. For poker, choose a format you understand and remember that skill does not remove the financial risk.
Game fairness and responsible play tools
The random number generator uses quantum-theory technology and has been independently verified by GamingLabs. Games are also independently audited for fairness. That supports the integrity of the game software, but it does not change the fact that casino outcomes are uncertain.
PokerStars Casino provides tools to help you control play. You can set weekly real-money deposit limits, use session limits, restrict a specific game and choose cooling-off periods of 12 hours or 24 hours. Time-out options last 7, 30, 60 or 120 days.
- Set a weekly real-money deposit limit
- Use session limits to structure your playing time
- Apply a game-specific restriction through the Restrict Table Limit tool
- Choose a 12-hour or 24-hour cooling-off period
- Use a 7-day, 30-day, 60-day or 120-day time-out
- Use self-exclusion for six months, longer or permanently
Self-exclusion covers all games, including real-money and play-money games, and all products requiring a Stars Account username. The selected restriction is irreversible for its stated duration. Gambling should stay entertainment, not a way to solve money problems.
Questions to ask before you start playing
A few quick checks can make the choice easier. Confirm the format, understand the stake and know when you plan to stop. Honestly, this is the part most people skip, but it takes less than a minute and keeps the session clearer.
There is no single best choice across the whole library. A pokie, live table and poker tournament offer different experiences, and each carries real financial risk. Pick the format you understand, keep the stake sensible and walk away when the session reaches its limit.
