New account, money frozen

Set up new account with pokerstars and deposited some money. They then froze the account pending me sending more verification documents. Ok. I submitted proof of address and ID. They claimed one was doctored (it wasn't!) and asked for more. I sent but got no response. I now can't login to recover my deposit, and the online chat agent can't help. Would strongly advise people to wait for checks before depositing for the first time.

If you want to lose all your money, go to PokerStars

PokerStars win/loss ratio is not very good at all. Their promotions are irrelevant and personally I will not give them a penny of my money ever again.

Everything in the app is so easy to navigate. The app also works fairly fast. Card games are fun when you play against players. But the casino has a lot of tough games to win on. Giving the Pokerstars casino games a try and will let you know how they do.

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service, if you win they do anything they can to slow payment down, including proof of 0 balance on utility bills used for verification.

Refuses to withdraw

Refuses to withdraw. They just want to keep your money. Stay away from these scammers!

edit: Nice try with that response. I've sent you my information several times; you continuously stall and ask for the same information again.

2:12 , 2 hours 12 min playd 4-5 turnaments and not a single pair . 2 hours . Can you imagine ? Probably last time you seen me here

Regarding your answer . 2hors 12 minuts is not a ”short term” . 20 min , 30 min is . But when your hand is loosing straight 2 hours … it is very suspicious.
