Now that the new PokerStars x FanDuel platform is live, player feedback is rolling in and it’s a split pot.
Some users are praising the software as “user-friendly” and “solid,” while others aren’t holding back, calling it a massive downgrade. As expected with any major update, plenty of players are also chiming in with suggestions and areas for improvement.
It’s classic poker community energy, resistance to change on one side, cautious optimism on the other. We’ve rounded up a few tweets, though the conversation is happening across other platforms too, including Discord.
Early days, but the verdict? Definitely mixed.
PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel is officially live, marking a big change for PokerStars operations in the US market.
With the move, PokerStars has retired its legacy software and launched a brand-new poker client. And like any fresh deal, there were a few shaky hands early on. Some teething issues cropped up, leading to a brief pause as games were taken down for emergency maintenance.
But no long delays here, the tables are back up, games are running, and players are back in action on FanDuel Poker.
Both new and existing PokerStars players in Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey need to sign up and create a new account if you want play on the new site, housed on FanDuel.
