The sportsbook part of PokerStars' overarching website is fully functional, if not fundamental. A popular links option lists what markets are seeing the most action. The live betting platform isn't the most visually appealing or technically sound, but it offers many markets, types, and specific bets.
Live betting
Aesthetically pretty vanilla, the online sportsbook's live betting interface won't win presentation awards. The platform offers action on all available markets, about 24 in total. A feature at the bottom right of each game shows how many markets are available. Click on it to access the extensive list of bets and markets along with helpful graphics, insights, and analytics.
Casino
The casino offering is excellent, with various games. The main categories are My Casino, Slots, Races, Live Casino, and Table Games. Its collection of games, especially slots, is impressive in quantity and quality.
Strategic Partnership
The Flutter Entertainment-owned sportsbook has a partnership deal with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Early cash-out
The early cash-out option is a standard issue for some markets and events and is available pre-game.
Poker
One of the world’s most renowned online poker outlets, PokerStars goes way beyond ticking all the fundamental boxes. You can live stream specific events on Twitch and participate in numerous highly touted tournaments.
PokerStars Sports' main mobile app is not available on IOS and Android in the United States.
PokerStars Sports does not hold a license in the United States.
PokerStars Sports is active in all of Canada. Ontario was registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario in June 2022 for full-fledged membership in the Ontario sports betting market. They hold an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. TSG Interactive Canada takes all the necessary safety precautions, ensuring a secure user experience.

PokerStars Sports currently has minimal customer service options. The platform is manned by virtual assistants, limiting the effectiveness and quality of provided answers. They may refer you to an article irrelevant to your question, but if you persist, you can have your questions answered by a live customer service agent.
It would be advantageous for the sportsbook to add a support email and phone number, as those options are unavailable on its overarching sportsbook website.
- Live chat available 24/7 with virtual assistants

While PokerStars Sportsbook is not active in the United States, it is a practical offering with everything besides a live streaming option that most sports bettors crave. The site also provides a safe and secure user experience. A few key takeaways:
Solid selection of payment options
There are numerous deposit options to get started, and players can be happy to know their payment will be processed immediately.
Live betting available
Many popular and lesser-known sports are available for live betting.
Room for improvement
The website is relatively basic and lacks the pizazz and slick visual appeal many people desire. It also falls short on the customer service front, though hopefully, TSG Interactive will improve as time goes on.
