How to Contact PokerStars Customer Service
PokerStars primarily provides customer service online rather than through a public telephone number. The best starting point is the official Help Center. Search for the issue first and sign in when possible so PokerStars can provide support options relevant to your account, product, and jurisdiction.
Depending on the issue and platform, contact options can include online messaging or live chat through the PokerStars website, desktop software, or mobile app.
Be cautious with telephone numbers found on unrelated support websites. Do not assume a number belongs to PokerStars unless PokerStars itself confirms it through an official website or authenticated account interface.
What to Have Ready Before Contacting PokerStars
- Your PokerStars username
- The email address registered to the account
- The country or jurisdiction associated with the account
- The product involved, such as poker or another service available in your market
- The date and approximate time the problem occurred
- The deposit or withdrawal amount when relevant
- The payment method involved
- The exact error message
- Screenshots that show the problem without exposing unnecessary private information
- Previous support or complaint reference numbers
- A short description of the resolution you are requesting
Do not send passwords, account PINs, one-time security codes, complete payment-card information, or identity documents unless PokerStars specifically requests the documents through an official secure process.
PokerStars Account Verification
PokerStars uses Know Your Customer, or KYC, verification to confirm information such as age, identity, and address. Verification is required for regulatory and security purposes and can occur at different stages of the customer relationship.
Some customers can be verified electronically. Others may be asked for documentation. PokerStars may also request information or documents regarding the source of deposited funds to meet anti-money-laundering requirements.
If your account is restricted while verification is underway:
- Check the email address registered to your PokerStars account.
- Read the requested verification instructions carefully.
- Submit only the documents that were requested.
- Use PokerStars’ official account or document-submission process.
- Reply through the existing support case rather than creating several duplicate requests.
- Keep confirmation that the requested information was submitted.
If you cannot access the registered email address, use the Contact Us option in the PokerStars Help Center and explain that issue specifically.
PokerStars Account Restricted or Closed
A PokerStars account can be restricted or closed while security, identity, payment, regulatory, or account-compliance checks are completed.
Possible issues can include:
- Incomplete identity or age verification
- Address verification
- Source-of-funds verification
- Account-security concerns
- Payment or chargeback issues
- Regulatory restrictions
- Activity that requires review under PokerStars’ terms
Follow the instructions PokerStars sends to the registered email address. Do not create a second PokerStars account to work around a restriction. PokerStars states that a closed account remains in its system, and customers who later need access should request reopening of the existing account rather than creating a replacement account.
PokerStars Deposits and Withdrawals
Available deposit and withdrawal methods vary by country, account, and payment method. The most accurate list appears in the Cashier after you sign in.
How to Request a PokerStars Withdrawal
To request a withdrawal, sign in to your PokerStars account, open the Cashier, choose Withdraw, select an available withdrawal method, enter the amount, review the details, and confirm the request.
PokerStars generally attempts to return funds through payment methods previously used for deposits, subject to its banking, security, and regulatory requirements.
Why a PokerStars Withdrawal May Be Delayed
A withdrawal may require additional review when:
- Identity verification is incomplete
- Address information needs confirmation
- PokerStars requests source-of-funds information
- A deposit has not fully cleared
- A payment is subject to a chargeback, reversal, or cancellation claim
- The payment method is no longer available
- The account is under a security or compliance review
- PokerStars is investigating activity under its terms
Respond promptly to legitimate verification requests because delays in providing required information can also delay the withdrawal.
PokerStars Player Funds
PokerStars states that customer account balances are held in separate accounts and are not used for normal operating expenses. Withdrawals remain subject to the company’s banking, security, regulatory, and account-review procedures.
If a withdrawal shows as completed but has not reached the destination payment account, confirm the payment method and allow the payment provider’s normal posting period before opening another withdrawal request.
PokerStars Account Security
Contact PokerStars Support immediately if you believe someone else has accessed your account.
Possible warning signs include:
- A password-reset email you did not request
- An unexpected temporary PIN or login message
- An email-address change you did not make
- An unfamiliar deposit or withdrawal
- A new payment method you do not recognize
- Unexpected changes to your account balance
- Game activity you did not perform
- Transaction emails you did not expect
Secure the email account connected to PokerStars as well. PokerStars also offers an account PIN feature that can add another layer of protection in addition to the account password.
PokerStars Technical Support
PokerStars provides technical-support information through its Help Center and allows technical problems to be reported through the website, software, or mobile app.
When reporting a technical problem, PokerStars recommends including useful details such as:
- Your username
- A clear description of what happened
- A screenshot of the error
- Relevant PokerStars software log files when requested
- Your device and operating system
- Whether the problem occurs on the website, desktop software, or mobile app
Do not download replacement PokerStars software from an unrelated website or follow installation instructions from an unsolicited caller.
Where PokerStars Is Available
PokerStars products and support arrangements vary by country and licensing jurisdiction. Real-money services should only be used where they are legally available.
PokerStars’ current global prohibited-jurisdictions information lists the United States as prohibited for real-money activity except where PokerStars is locally licensed. Customers should therefore use the PokerStars service applicable to their actual location and verify local availability before assuming that PokerStars.com terms or features apply.
Do not use VPNs, false location information, or other techniques intended to bypass geographic restrictions.
PokerStars Responsible Gaming and Self-Exclusion
PokerStars provides responsible-gaming controls that can include deposit limits and self-exclusion. Available controls can differ by jurisdiction.
A customer can use self-imposed deposit limits to restrict how much money can be deposited over specified periods. PokerStars also provides self-exclusion for customers who want a break from gambling.
During an active PokerStars self-exclusion period, the company says customers can still log in and withdraw available funds but cannot play games or make gaming transactions.
If the reason for closing an account involves gambling-related harm or difficulty controlling play, use the responsible-gaming and self-exclusion tools rather than treating the request as an ordinary technical account closure.
Closing a PokerStars Account
Customers can ask PokerStars to close an account through the official support process.
PokerStars says a closed account remains in its system. A customer who later wants to return should ask PokerStars about reopening the existing account rather than attempting to create another account.
The current PokerStars.com General Terms also state that an account may become subject to a EUR 5 monthly administration fee after at least 13 months of inactivity. PokerStars says it will provide at least 30 days’ notice before beginning the fee. Local or separately licensed PokerStars sites may have different terms, so review the terms applicable to your account.
How to File and Escalate a PokerStars Complaint
Start by contacting PokerStars Support through the website, software, or mobile app. Provide enough information for the company to identify the account and transaction privately, but do not place sensitive account information in a public post.
- Contact PokerStars Support. Explain the issue and requested resolution.
- Keep a reference number. Save the support conversation, emails, screenshots, and transaction records.
- Ask for formal complaint review. Some unresolved matters are referred to PokerStars’ Complaints team.
- Request the final decision in writing. Keep the reason and any term or rule PokerStars relied upon.
- Check your jurisdiction’s dispute procedure. The regulator and outside dispute process can depend on the PokerStars service and gaming license governing your account.
For the PokerStars.com service governed by the current Malta terms, PokerStars identifies eCOGRA as its independent alternative-dispute-resolution provider after the company issues its final decision. Those terms also identify the Malta Gaming Authority as a further regulator contact.
Customers using a separately licensed local PokerStars service should follow the regulator and complaint procedure specified for that jurisdiction instead.
PokerStars Accessibility
PokerStars maintains an accessibility statement for its websites and mobile applications and says it is committed to digital accessibility for users.
If an accessibility problem prevents you from accessing account or support functions, use the official PokerStars Help Center and describe the feature, page, device, and accessibility issue involved.
Who Owns PokerStars?
PokerStars is part of Flutter Entertainment.
Current PokerStars.com terms identify two relevant operating entities:

- Play-money services: Stars Mobile Limited, Douglas Bay Complex, King Edward Road, Onchan, IM3 1DZ, Isle of Man
These are legal and registered-company details rather than ordinary customer-service mailing addresses. Account, payment, verification, withdrawal, and complaint questions should begin through PokerStars’ online support system.
