PokerStars on FanDuel Positive Reviews
End FanDuelI wrote a bad review when it first opened, as of today it has gotten way better..75% close to original poker stars.
Now I wish they can let us chat and make changes there..need little bit more work and it will almost run like PokerStars.Stars regVersion: 1.2.1
Needs workSome of the BS hands that come up and the river are absolutely atrocious. I’m talking the first 3 cards on the River coming up all being Jacks? Astronomically unheard of. Then coincidentally, someone also has a Jack in their hand.
Definitely isn’t ’randomized’ as it states. Noticed if I’ve lost a game or two, (aka losing money,) my next game I’ll have god like hands and wipe the table in minutes. Gives you just enough to either break even or walk away with about $10 if you’re lucky..D C O L E ZVersion: 1.1.2
PokerStars Meets FanDuel and Nail ItI used to juggle between two apps before this merge, but now having PokerStars on FanDuel means one seamless wallet and better promos. The experience feels upgraded compared to just PokerStars alone. Also like that they didn't ditch the classic games but added new ones too. Definitely my go-to poker app now..Gerika AdamovitchVersion: 1.2.1
I cannot find where to go to terms and conditions so I can’t play after depositing.I went through my money from Poker Stars and deposited it on this site and attempted to play. Every time I try, it asks me to agree to terms and conditions. I cannot find where to do this! From reading the other refuses sounds like this is a worthless app. I am sad that Poker Stars sold out to FanDuel..Nebuchadnezzar133Version: 1.1.3
World class app and platform!The best I’ve seen out there.NosduhcVersion: 1.1.2
PokerStars on FDIt’s a promising start but FanDuel needs to make improvements and deal with some early bugs, like logging players out unexpectedly. Also, the app needs an iPad friendly landscape view asap..WodesVersion: 1.1.2
Clunky, buggy, but overall winNeeds fixed:
- fix MTT in-game info panel bug where is stops updating
- A way to see all your live tables at once, from the home panel
- A way to get to the comprehensive tournament info pages from the same screen as your MTT table
- do not block the player to your right with the bet sizing slider.
That being said, it’s great action..BooboollamaVersion: 1.1.3

PokerStars on FanDuel Negative Reviews
Very disappointed!! FD ruined PS!!!!!1st off, I almost never write reviews or rate apps but I had to write this one.
Just about everything is worse than the original PS. The poker play was way better on the original site. The poker play is stiff and for some reason almost confusing. They should have just kept the same PokerStars animation. The new look is cool but it plays slow and jittery and… confusing. Plus you can’t make a decision before it’s actually your turn. Dumb!!!! I like everything about the old site and nothing how FD did it. Everything is confusing and slow and complicated for no reason. Also, finding slots is way too hard on FD. I’m not even a slot player but like to play once in a while. I changed my rating from a 3 to a 1. I was trying to be open to the change but tbh this app is trash in every way. It’s worse than the old sites 20 years ago. I really wanted to like the new site but it’s trash. Like I said I should have given 1 star. Very disappointed. Please fix or I will close my account..StraightUpNDownVersion: 1.1.2
FanDuel merger has been badEver since the FanDuel merger the games feel off. The way hands play out feels randomly rigged. I’ve had some good runs, but also benefited from some very questionable “luck”. I’ve been playing poker for decades and have never played in games with the sort of outcomes this app produces. I’ve I noticed it almost immediately after the merger and seeing others express concerns was not surprising. One example: I’ve seen 2 straight flushes (had one myself) in a couple months on this app. I’ve only seen 2 prior to this in over 20 years. It just feels off and not like normal poker. Before the merger, PokerStars was very serviceable. Before the online poker ban in the US way back when, PokerStars was far and away my favorite way to play poker..UberJustOkayWithMeVersion: 1.2.1
SadIt all starts with the merge. Dumb idea. I argue with the support about my funds from old account and told they can’t help and that most of their customers are intelligent enough to be “understanding” and can “figure it out”. Just so I could them come here to this new app and realize it’s so garbage, it’s as fake as FanDuel always was. PokerStars was my all time favorite for Texas Holdem. Unfortunately I will not give my money to these people for this project. Scammers. I’d rather sit in an Xfinity showroom and argue with those people for three hours then waste any time on this new app. It’ll never happen because all of these companies are so massive. They will squash anyone who attempts to, but if someone could literally re-create the old PokerStars app and release it, they would have so many people backing them and do so well..JDaniel2800Version: 1.1.3
Seems a bit unrealisticPersonally got back to back 4 of a kinds.. seem to get dealt pairs very consistently.. seem to almost always lose. Maybe I’m just a bad poker player but the overall gameplay/outcomes just seem a bit unrealistic. I had good luck my first night playing but since then it’s been atrocious. Never got my deposit match, always seem to lose to a straight or a flush on the river card. The taunting from other players gets annoying. I wanna believe it’s fair and balanced but I am left wondering if you get wins based off of how much you deposit. I never write reviews, in all seriousness I would not play this app. You’ll keep depositing believing you’re finally going to get a fair hand and you will keep losing..Neverreviews123Version: 1.2
The Algorithm Needs to Be InvestigatedFirst of all, in Spin and Go, the multiplier lands on the double instead of the triple 80% of the time. And once the cards are out, you lose even holding the best hand. Play aggressively? You lose, because someone calls with 6-3 and somehow gets there. Play defensively? You lose anyway: you make your straight, someone calls, and the flush or a full house comes on the turn and river. You flop three of a kind, and it’s the same story. The tournaments are an outright scam. I got “randomly” moved four separate times, always right when the dealer button was about to reach me. Your strongest hands get cracked again and again, as if on cue. There is no way this is random. They should be investigated for rigging the algorithm..Alex_q80Version: 1.2.1
AwfulQuite literally the single worst poker app I’ve ever played. I sincerely don’t understand how they green lit this. The UI is a buggy disaster, it’s impossible to place bets accurately. There’s a slider that jumps around. Good luck joining the game you want. It’s near impossible. There’s no real way to select the correct one. I sometimes navigate to the cash games , other times it just plops me into a game. Then you’ll jump tables hundreds of times. It feels heavily botted in the low stake games. I know free to play gamba games with less dark patterns than this. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a class action down the line. Then there’s the issue with plaid as a payment processor, which is a topic for another day. Steer clear if you value your sanity..Daniel daniel1232Version: 1.1.3
HorrendousSoftware is atrocious, can’t multi table on mobile. Everytime I’m in a significant 3bet pot it says it can’t verify my location and literally boots me from the table . And just lets the other player take the pot. I mean on pokerstars if this ever happened you would be disconnected and would still be at the table when your location was verified. Which seems obvious , but there’s not much good I can say, I have only lost money because of this, it literally just boots me from every other hand of significance. Hopefully they fix this, it’s basically unplayable. I don’t play on a laptop or at home for that matter so this is useless to me. Use the old pokerstars software at least. Super lazy.PeteristheworstVersion: 1.1.3
It’s a racketI deposited 10$, enter a 1$ poker game that failed to load. When the page refreshed my balance was down 5$. I was told a refund would be issued, 24 hours later no refund…customer service now is saying they are looking into it. They can’t even stay consistent. Yesterday I’m told to be patient for a refund today they are still looking into it??? This is a total racket. Customer service terminated the chat before it was finished today. Kaylee promised the refund, thanks for nothing Kaylee . I’ll stick to legit platforms ..Dirty uncle kertiVersion: 1.1.3
Long time player can’t recommendI’ve played on the original app for over a year and this merge that happened with FanDuel is absolutely awful. They completely ruined the app the UI isn’t nearly as user friendly and is extremely laggy. I’m honestly really disappointed because they ruined my favorite gambling service with this garbage app when the original PokerStars app had no issues. Do not use this instead go with WSOP or another company that cares about what they produce..BajdbdjsbdjVersion: 1.1.2
I miss PokerStarsSince the move to FanDuel, this has gone off a cliff for me. From the quality of the user experience itself, down to the haptic functions, to the avatars… it’s all a major downgrade.
Also, the games feel far more lopsided in terms of card distribution. 99% of flops are loaded with face cards, and starting hands are either obviously in your favor, or in another player’s for the entirety of a single game, it feels very unrealistic and unnatural. The old PokerStars felt more balanced, realistic, and certainly more fun.
Lastly, the spin and gos are absolute BS. Almost every game (I’ve played hundreds since the switch over) results in x2 payout, showing far more money going to the house.
Also, the welcome bonus deposit match was total BS.
RIP PokerStars. I will be taking my time and money elsewhere..TerrapinTomCOVersion: 1.1.3
Complete trashFrom them, not paying out the deposit bonuses to constant not being able to play due to it saying it can’t verify your location ….though to even be in the app they have to verify your location.
This was a horribly pathetic, grab at money by FanDuel that is already got one of the worst support for customers in the business. I would avoid this like the plague..LurknmercVersion: 1.1.2
Deposit Bonus Not RewardedDeposited $200 for their promo of 100% match up to $1000. Not one $1 was honored for the deposit bonus. Talked to customer service, got the runaround. They finally rewarded stuff that happened within the last 24 hours and called it good. Only thing was, my deposit was 28 hours from that email so I was rewarded nothing.
This needs fixed asap..KroftoVersion: 1.1.2
BS GAMEI lost about 25 hands in a row. Even my folding hands looked weaker. Other players kept hitting flushes against my three of a kind, straight, or full house. All they wanted was for me to put in more money. I actually managed to win once—until I had nothing left. The tournament money was gone, and they drained every dime I had. Until I had nothing left..Didnt do my home workVersion: 1.1.3
Poor roll outThey need to use the original PokerStars programming , it’s was the best online poker , hopefully they realize the mistake and trash this new programming , it is not “crispy” like the original PokerStars the play is slow and sometime out of time , like your bet goes out slowly yet the cards will play before your bet hits the table ,it is unsettling.Sharp eyed criticismVersion: 1.1.3
Unfair, buggy, and illegitimateReceived 7 tickets in free play to test it, lost each game as other “players” had straights, High cards, and flushes each hand. You’re playing against computers that already know your hand and potential next moves. You will no win, EVER..Jaycasino0Version: 1.2.1
Glitchy AppEverytime I click on a promotion, it takes me to the Apple App Store. There is nothing update or download because I already have the app. It’s also harder to find tables compared to when it was just PokerStars. Not a fan of this new app and will not be playing because it rarely allows me to play..Cannonman23Version: 1.2.1
Fan duel ruined PokerStarsPokerStars was great , the best poker app around until fan duel bought them and ruined the app. You cannot see how many people are left in the tournament, who’s playing, how much time left for late registration , prize pool, and how many people entered and how many are left. They rushed the new app and messed it up please fix this Now!!!!.NickpitsVersion: 1.1.2
Restricted locationsWorks fine in Michigan, unless you are in a restricted location. They forgot to mention that some locations, such as the casino nearby, don’t let you use the app. Even though you are in a proper state. Guess I’m never using this because my house is too close. What a joke of an app..AlbinojasonVersion: 1.1.3
Terrible appTournament stats don’t update in real time. Laggy. Deal to deposit money and get bonus bet money. Deposited money to get the money and never received the “free money”. User interface is not user friendly. I miss the old poker stars. This is going to turn into a money grab prioritizing profits overk user experience.AdamFiedorczykVersion: 1.1.2
Pretty big step backwardsSoftware lags, tournament offerings are disappointing, and the app is neither as intuitive nor as visually appealing as Pokerstars was before the merge. First time in years that I’ve considered playing most of my volume elsewhere..BriangrimVersion: 1.2
Bubble/late registration glitchEvery time I get to the bubble or end of late registration, the app glitches and table cannot be played. Currently in the Sunday millions and registration ended when boom, glitch in the middle of hand and cannot play. Have redownloaded, restarted, everything. This is crazy.GgdgsgehsgyeffadhgfVersion: 1.1.3
Stars should be ashamedThis may be the worst application for poker I have seen. You can’t even see players stacks due to tiny font, impossible to multi-table, you can’t click the fold/check/raise slider. Just absolutely terrible. They clearly didn’t test this app before releasing..WawaappiscrapVersion: 1.1.3
DisappointedI was very excited to see this merger happen but I am so disappointed. Used to have the best interface by far and somehow with the merger became 100x worse. Bonus offer is a complete joke was a longtime supporter but think my business will be best elsewhere.SethcoolVersion: 1.1.3
Location verification is brokenNot sure if things were really tested before release. I constantly get a can’t verify location while either trying to sit down or you get logged out during play. Real poor job by FanDuel here..Omaha guy trapped in NL bodyVersion: 1.1.2
CofoundersTell me why they’re able to play and know when to fold and or play. I understand online play but to see so many of your cofounders hit or fold in the most crazy spots. I’ve marked em all in green and you can’t tell me it’s because of online.Ipido0317Version: 1.2.1
Logged out mid game???I downloaded this app ready to play some poker. I deposit $15 just to try it out. in the middle of my first game, which was a four dollar table I got lagged out. I logged back in and now I’m missing four dollars. That doesn’t make any sense at all..LonnieD20Version: 1.1.2
GlitchyCan’t verify my location on the poker app so can’t play, even though the regular fanduel app works fine. I downloaded it on my Mac and it randomly logs me out while I’m playing. Really annoying. Major bug fixes and updates needed..Bwiz.Version: 1.1.2
Still disappointing!!!I don’t know what happened. It was good the last month but this month is just as horrible as the first month you keep losing promotions don’t work. What’s wrong with this developer you’re fired.Gio515Version: 1.2
Blah…Payouts are trash. Don’t play roulette, read the fine print on their “live dealer” games. It’s all automated. PokerStars was dope, lost all that I had built up on the app. To get pressured into playing FanDuels which I’d rather just donate my $ to a good cause..JunglistAtLargeVersion: 1.3.0
Unable to Verify LocationAllowed a deposit but can't verify location. Yes, location is on. Seems to be an issue as others mentioned same problem on Reddit.AiSingularityVersion: 1.1.2
$1000 deposit match not worth itThe promo looks flashy and good but, I played for over an hour and didn’t even unlock the first bonus $5. Don’t waste your time..InTheAMtodayVersion: 1.1.3
Surprisingly badSo far from acceptable. Missing essential tournament features. Seems like a terrible online casino sit & go. Even worse actually, there’s not even a clock..Whale6996Version: 1.1.2
Rigged ruinedPokerStars was great FanDuel ruined it and rigged the algorithims I’ve never seen so many hands lose on river and turn and never seen so many players go all in with 6-2 and win everytime.Terrible game playVersion: 1.2
