PokerStars is an online poker room, not a casino. That means you never play against the house, only other poker
players over the Internet. We receive compensation by taking a "rake", which is a small amount of money from each
pot. This rake from the pot never exceeds $5. At the lower cash limits, PokerStars takes a smaller rake as well.
PokerStars players' poker money and account balances are held in segregated accounts and not used for any of
PokerStars' operational expenses. These segregated accounts are managed by a leading European bank. The
arrangements ensure that PokerStars can at all times fulfill its monetary obligations toward its online poker players,
and will provide further reassurance that players' funds are always secure with PokerStars
