Pokerstars.com is the largest poker site in the world and this tag is prominently displayed in its web site. It is not unusual see its site visitors counter running into 100,000 or more at any one time. With the advent of Internet and the increase in  online poker sites, the number of poker players in the world has increased dramatically.

While many are still wary of playing poker online for fear of being cheated, several poker online sites have developed high level of integrity and gained player's confidence.  Critical areas of concerns are randomness of shuffle, possible insider cheating and possible players collusion. PokerStars has contracted Cigital, a prestigious company specializing in software security to review its shuffle and got a zeal of fairness and randomness. Insider cheating and player collusion and player playing in the same table under different account are prevented using tracking software that are able to detect unusual patterns.

Aside from running and maintaining your poker clug, with PokerStars poker software installed in your computer, you may also start joining free tournaments to gain entry to live games or decide to play big for the money.
