How to start betting with Pokerstars Sports

Pokerstars odds - regular

To carry out the analysis of the Pokerstars Sports odds we rely on some scales that are classified as follows: profit margin from 1 to 5 - Good, from 5 to 7 regular and from 7 to 10 bad.

The odds that Betstars offers us, although they are not the best, are not bad at all. As in the other analyses we have carried out of the bookmakers, we have based our study on football and within it on different types of match:

Clashes involving top-level teams: If you are from a big team like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United, betting on Betstars can be a pretty good option. We have chosen several matches of great teams from La Liga, Premier League and Serie A and there has been a margin that ranges between 5 and 6, something that without being excellent, would be within the average. There are also no big differences between betting on the 1X2 market or the goals market, since in both cases the margins are similar.

Clashes between lower league teams: In this case we have based our analysis on Danish, Scottish and Brazilian league matches, and the odds are no longer as good as those mentioned in the previous case. The margin goes up to 7.96.

The overall rating of Pokerstars is of 6.86 , which would include it within the regular ones and place it in the average of the competition.

How the margin has been calculated

Pokerstars betting offer - excellent

Pokerstars offers an excellent offer of bets on pre-match . It offers a total of 23 different sports modalities to bet on, among them we can find major sports such as football, tennis and basketball or others more followed in other countries such as ice hockey, Australian football, American football or boxing /UFC.

It also offers some sports that not all houses have, such as eSports or Horse Racing. They also have special bets available such as politics or TV shows / series.

As in the rest of the bookmakers football is the sport that offers a greater number of markets, with an average of 100 per event. In the rest of the sports modalities its offer is between 20 and 30 markets per event.

Football betting

It is the sports modality that has the largest number of bets, at Pokerstars aware of this they offer a wide range of possibilities to bet. The user will be able to bet on a total of 17 championships, among which the League, Premier League, Serie, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga stand out. The Champions League and the Dollarpa League also have a good offer. In addition to the main dollarpeas leagues, leagues such as Russian, Argentine, Brazilian, American or Irish are also available. Pokerstars also offers the possibility of making advance bets, which allows us to bet for example on the winner of a league or tournament, as well as the transfer merchant. How much will be paid for a certain player? Which team will X player go to?

Although the offer of matches and leagues can be described as excellent, the number of markets in some matches is scarce, especially in minor categories such as the Third Division.

What we liked the most about Pokerstars are the promotions it offers, surely you have ever made a bet and have seen how in the absence of a short time it got away from you, at Pokerstars it will not happen to you again thanks to its “Withdrawal on time” service through which you can withdraw your winnings before it ends, always subject to a series of conditions.

Pokerstars Sports also offers a series of bets called Spinbets in which the event fee increases. It should also be noted that it is a bookmaker that has incorporated Asian handicaps to its betting offer, which is appreciated.

Tennis betting

The offer of competitions that it has in tennis is very good, the user has the main tournaments: Grand Slam, Open, ATP, ITF, WTA or Davis Cup. Tennis is a sport that not only increases in the number of followers but also of bettors, Pokerstars aware of this has made a good bet for it. Virtually all ITF, Challenger and ATP tournaments are offered on Pokerstars, although with very few markets if we talk about ITF matches (in some matches you can only bet on the winner).

As in football, Pokerstars Sports has a wide offer of Tennis advance bets, mainly winners of the most relevant tournaments (ATP, WTA, Davis Cup...)

Basketball betting

The offer in basketball is acceptable. It is not the best, but it has a good offer of leagues and matches, as well as markets. Handicaps, point totals, period bets... Also interesting is its early betting offer for the main leagues in the world: Germany, New Zealand, NBA, France, etc.

Types of bets

Pokerstars offers its users three types of bets: single, combination and combination bets.

The single is the most common format, while within the combined bet we can find different types (doubles, triples, Yankees and many more). The "Combined Bets" format is the classic one in which you bet on several matches to get a higher odds. If the bet is on two predictions it will be called double, if it is on three triple, so respectively.

It should be noted that the processing of bets on Pokerstars is very fast, which makes the work much easier.

In summary, the Pokerstars Sports pre-match offer could be qualified as almost perfect. We miss a few more markets, and more games offered in minor leagues. However, its offer is very wide, the options are very varied, and it is at the height of its most demanding competitors. It is undoubtedly a bookmaker that goes to more and that every year improves its services by incorporating more options for its customers.

Pokerstars live betting - regular

Despite not having a great offer of events, we really liked the live streaming service. It does not have streaming, but it supplements it with a graph in which the user can follow the match in detail. In order for the user to have more data and be able to achieve greater accuracy in the bet, a series of statistics about the teams / players is provided.

Football and tennis are the two sports that offer a greater number of events for live betting . In the rest of the sports the offer is smaller and they appear much more sporadically. Focusing on football, the offer is quite good, offering some matches that few bookies have. However, we really miss the Asian handicaps in live betting, as well as better coverage of minor league events.

In tennis, there are few matches offered compared to the competition. Their offer is acceptable and wide, but it is not as good as pre-assorted. In minor tournaments like ITF we miss some handicap to bet on.

Pokerstars Sports has a mobile app for both Android and iPhone. For live betting it is a plus point, since you can make them quickly and conveniently from anywhere without having the need to be in front of the PC. If any user does not want to download the app, Pokerstars has optimized the website for the mobile version, which will also allow you to browse the page and bet without any difficulty.

Mobile version and Pokerstars Sports app

Pokerstars Sports has an excellent App available for iOS and Android devices. It is an App from the developer Stars Mobile Limited, very well valued by users, with multiple positive opinions and with a score of 4.4 out of 5 in The App Store .

The download of it varies according to the operating system from which we are going to do it:

  • If we do it from Android we will have to download it from the official Pokerstars website, since the Play Store does not support Apps related to sports betting.
  • To download it from iOS we will search for "Pokerstars sports" in the App Store.

However, the mobile version of Pokerstars is also perfectly optimized and works correctly, being able to access the same functions as if we were using the desktop version: make bets, follow live matches, deposit, withdraw, etc.

Customer service

The Pokerstars customer service is disappointing, as they only offer the option to contact them through a contact form. We miss the addition of at least one phone. Online chat is available, but only for logged in users. Therefore, if you have any problems with the login to your account, the online chat will be useless since you will not be able to access it.

However, from Innovate Change we provide two emails where it is possible to contact Customer Service:

At the bottom of the page we find a section of Help where it is possible to get answers to the most common doubts of users: deposits and withdrawals, account verification, technical problems, etc.

Hey. I specialized a lot in table tennis for a few months and it no longer lets me bet the winning sets, only the 1st set before the match starts, not so the 2,3,4 and 5th. I consider that the grace of betting live on any sport is to follow it. Can someone tell me why that option is no more? Or what's going on?
