New to rakeback? Here's what this means for you

You're already paying a small fee (called rake) every hand you play, whether you notice it or not. Signing up through the link below gets a portion of that paid back to you — same games, same odds, just less left on the table. Read the full explainer →

PokerStars.it is the Italian, ADM-licensed instance of PokerStars — alongside iPoker.it, one of the two biggest and most active regulated poker rooms in the country.

Same story as iPoker.it: Italian players love to gamble, and traffic runs deep all the way up to NL1000, with genuine whales at the table.

One thing worth knowing about every Italian-licensed site: tables cap your buy-in at €1,000, and there's no topping up mid-hand or mid-session. If you sit down at NL1000 with €1,000 and lose €500, you can't rebuy back to €1,000 — the only way to reset is to leave the table and sit back down. It gets mildly annoying at NL500–NL1000, where you can end up stuck playing a short stack against a weak player, or lose the whole €1,000 and have to scramble to leave and re-sit before another regular grabs your seat. It cuts both ways, though — sometimes you're the one taking a seat a regular just lost €1,000 from.

From My Own Play

Along with iPoker.it, the most amazing poker site out there. I love playing here — Italians love action, and you'll find real traffic all the way up to NL1000.
