Ring Games & Tournaments

PokerStars has more games and tournaments than any other poker site. And our poker software makes it easy to find the game or tourney that you want to play. Once you find your game and take a seat, every aspect of playing poker is completely intuitive. The tutorial video shows you how to find your game and join the action.

Finding Ring Games

Ring games are single-table poker games where the chips in play hold monetary value, and players can join or leave the game at any time. These games do not have a set start or finish time, and are available in a range of stakes, meaning you’ll always be able to find a table that suits you.

Finding Tournaments

At PokerStars you’ll find single-table, multi-table and heads-up tournaments in a range of poker variations and buy-ins. Start with micro-stakes Sit & Go’s (SNGs) and work your way up to the big-money tournaments, like the Sunday Million and the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).

Playing Poker

Once you’ve found the poker game you want to play, you’ll need to join the table. This is easy to do, and soon you’ll be sitting down in the game of your choice. The game-play is easy to follow and everything is fully customizable, which means you can play it your way.
