| Software - The software at PokerStars sets the standard for other poker rooms. Every thing from playing at multiple tables at once to navigating through the site is simple and streamlined. There is a handy search filter for ring tables, sitngo’s and tournaments that makes searching through the 10,000+ active tables quick and easy. The lobby interface displays all of the important statistics such as average pot, flop percentage and hands per hour. You can also upload your own custom avatar, transfer money to friends and change the way tables are displayed.
Bonuses - When you make your first deposit at PokerStars you will receive a 100% match up to $50. This is a relatively small bonus compared to the bonuses offered at other rooms but PokerStars offers so much value in other ways most players look past this shortcoming. The bonus does clear quite quickly even at the lower levels.

Traffic - PokerStars has by far the highest traffic in the history of online poker. There are well over 100,000 players connected during peak hours and they continue to bring in many new players every day.
Competition - PokerStars has a lot of very bad players and likewise a lot of very good players. You will find the ladder mostly at the higher stakes tables. The small to middle stakes tables are know to be very soft. You will have to find the fish though, by simply looking at the flop percentages it is easy to locate a loose table.
Customer Service - As the premier online poker room, PokerStars definitely needs to upgrade their support system. They currently only offer email support which can be quite slow.
