PokerStars is an online poker cardroom.[1] It is the largest real money online poker site in the world,[2][3] controlling over two-thirds of the total online poker market,[4] and can be accessed through downloadable poker clients for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
A PokerStars.com online satellite tournament produced the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP)[5] champion, Chris Moneymaker. As the first person to become a world champion by qualifying at an online poker site,[6] Moneymaker's 2003 win was an important factor in catalyzing the poker boom of the mid-2000s. The press has called this the "Moneymaker effect."[7]
PokerStars was part of The Stars Group until it was sold to Flutter Entertainment, owner of the Irish gambling company Paddy Power, on May 5, 2020.[8]
