This forum should spring into life due to Pokerstars integrating with Betfair !

I received an email yesterday...first I knew about the migration of PS to Betfair.

Link here : https://www.pokerstars.uk/help/articles/upgr-ps-betfair-uk/

Probably going to be a few hiccups on the way.

Do you know what date the cut off / move over is scheduled?


Looking like I will lose my pokerstars username as (obviously) I have a betfair account and we are forced to close our pokerstars accounts and use Betfair account with a new name.

Bit of sadness to lose the username as it has 21 years of history and some golden memories.



Writing the above has sent me down memory lane... what a great journey, I propper veni vedi vici'd it and span my first and only ever deposit of £50 upto a 6 figure profit. (most of it in the first 7 years, the omg easy years)

When I first started there was only one tournement per hour and softest of soft 10 seater sit & go's.
Just incredibly soft, I was playing so sploshed one night I fell asleep waiting for it to start after I'd registered and woke to find I'd placed 3rd without playing a hand, winning 2x entry.LaughCrazyLaugh


So many HappymemoriesHappy

esc you'll probably be able to keep your pokerstars username if you want. download pokerstars on betfair, sign in with your username and password for betfair exchange, and you'll be asked to choose a nickname, you'll likely to be able to get it then
i couldnt, because my pokerstars user was the same as my betfair login user so ive just gone with this username instead

Made a long post last night but it got auto-modded by the AI....advise copying any post before sending so you can tweak it to comply if it is sent to the bin.

Played in a cash game last night right up until they closed all the tables (won 2.5x buyin on the very last night Cool)... I had to be there and raise a glass of whiskey to toast the highlights of 21 years at stars.


I'm going for a new name, the regs won't realise who I am for a while, new era.

G'luck


P.S. logged on tonight, Not allowed to play, only allowed to withdraw, it's all over bar the bank transfer.
