It is fair to say that Pokerstars UK sportsbook has come a long way from its initial release. From a site that boasted no promotions and just a few sports to bet on, in a relatively short amount of time, the number of sports, the number of markets per sport and per event not to mention the huge number of promotions has made it a real contender in the UK online betting industry.
However, if you are a punter who focuses exclusively on sports betting, then you may well be unaware of just what other treats you can access as a direct result of you obtaining a PokerStars Sports betting account.
So with that in mind, here’s a rundown of the different options available to you through your single PokerStars Sports betting account.
PokerStars Casino
Your one PokerStars betting account also allows you to enjoy the many different attractions that are available at the PokerStars Casino. The Casino option offers you a choice of four different types of Casino games:
- Table Games
- Slots
- Video Poker
- Live Casino Games
In the Table Games tab, you have a choice of multiplayer (play with other players) and single-player games to pick from and these include games such as Roulette (European and Double Ball), as well as Blackjack and Heads Up Hold’em.
Under the Slots tab there is a lengthy list of high-quality slot games to pick from with some of the most popular games on the site being Starburst, Twin Spin, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, Gonzo’s Quest, Wish upon a Jackpot, Jack Hammer, Fruit Shop and South Park.
There are a choice of five different games of Video Poker, each of which has stakes of between $0.01 and $20 per game. The games are Deuces Wild, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Jacks or Better and Joker Poker. There are subtle differences between each of these variations of video poker so it is worth checking each one to ensure you are playing the game that suits your bankroll and style of play.
Lastly, there is also the option to play at PokerStars Live Casino. This offers a choice of four different games, with several tables available in each, where you get a video feed of a real live dealer playing the game in real time as you watch. The games available are Live Roulette, Live Blackjack, Live Casino Hold’em and Live Baccarat. It is worth remembering that minimum stake levels tend to be higher in the Live games compared to the computerised version.
PokerStars Poker
It is also worth remembering that PokerStars Sport is an offshoot of PokerStars hugely popular and world renown poker site. For many years, PokerStars have offered some of the best online poker games and tournaments that you could play anywhere online and it is certainly true that you can now have access to all these games, plus a huge number of poker-themed offers, direct from your PokerStars Sports account.
There are the usual Cash Games, Multi-table Tournaments and Sit & Go options, but PokerStars also offers Zoom Poker, Spin & Go games (which currently have a $1m prize promotion on at the moment), plus links to Online Events and special Live Events taking place all around the world.
Indeed, when it comes to online poker, you are very much spoilt for choice by the wide range of games available at PokerStars Poker client.
Remember too, if you are a poker novice, you can opt to use play money at Pokerstars on play money tables, before you wager your own cash from your account when you are feeling more comfortable.
Furthermore, if you are a poker player at Full Tilt, who are also owned by PokerStars parent company, you can now link your account on Full Tilt with your PokerStars balance and play on that site too.
What is certainly true is that your PokerStars Sports betting account offers you a great deal more than simply sports betting opportunities. While PokerStars owners are still very much developing all aspects of the site, there is a huge amount you can spend your money on beyond the realm of sports betting, if you would like to do so.
