PokerStars Play – Texas Holdem 17+

Well formatted, theres plenty of chances to play for free with a 4 hour coin wheel, quizzes, watch ads and 24hourly free coins. A few options for game play and good rewards for levelling. Few draw backs- the major one being internet dropout is pretty common meaning you can quickly lose your coins to the opposing players (auto blinds and fold) or lose your chips completely by being forced to lobby via connection issues. Its less of an issue in live games or cash games, more annoying than any thing in these cases. It does take a bit of time to move up the VIP ranks which offer better rewards and returns as you ascend the rank. Its sped up through purchasing coin bundles but that can be expensive. Theres talk of the app introducing cash conversion- your winnings cashed in for real money- depends on your countries laws if that will happen but in future is a possibility. Otherwise great way to pass time and hone your skills.

Your app is very good... only issue is when I get disconnected from my broadband, your system boots me out of the table... you should make it like the old days, where any disconnection would allow you to come back to the same table with same table chip balance to continue...eg if reconnected within say 3 mins. In the mean time, it can “sit me out” to allow play to resume for other players at my table...

Gets very frustrating when one builds up chips on the table ( multiples of max buy in) only to start all over again with max buy in limit...

Also, your system should also be designed so that if you have an unbeatable hand before the disconnection that it calls all bets or checks everything...

Very annoying for example when you have a 4 of a kind at the flop only to be disconnected and not able to make any bets and lose the pot which would easily have been yours !

Finally, any temporary disconnection within 5 sec ( and provided I then get reconnected ... eg to another access point or onto cellular data from broadband), your system should allow continued play on reconnection as apposed to logging or sitting me out....

Other than that, a polished, high class product ... keep up the good work ! Recommended download to others out there ...

I have started playing this and this app is way more civil than WSOP.

Not biased but just satisfied. There are micro transactions but they don’t hinder your gameplay if you are responsible enough.

The buy-in mechanic is perfect and there doesn’t seem to be any momentum based influence. If there is then I will retract this review.

The daily bonuses will help you get back in the game if you lost your money so being patient reactively and smart proactively will help you have a good poker game night.

My biggest problem, the announcements that pop up like “LEVEL UP” and “ALL IN” is annoying. These pop-up block the showdown, moreover, the showdown is less than 0.5seconds, so you can’t see if you won or lost (to the game devs; make it at least 1.7seconds I guess). BUT this doesn’t really matter, just something I get bothered personally.

Overall, the best Poker app I enjoy at the moment. (Better than WSOP, that game is congested with nonsense)
