Today, PokerStars operates under new management and as part of the internationally recognized Flutter Entertainment group. While FTP failed to honor its commitments to the players at the time, it was PokerStars who took the responsibility and eventually paid out all the FTP players as well, massively building their renown as the good guys of the poker industry. The popular poker site took a hit on Black Friday in 2011 when both PS and major competitor Full Tilt Poker was brought down by the US Department of Justice. As poker kept growing on the international stage, so too did the PokerStars brand. Over the years, PokerStars built on its early success and continued to sign major players such as Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier, and Vanessa Selbst into its Team PokerStars. These players’ success in the televised WSOP Main Events brought thousands of players to the platform, and it never had to look back since. In the early 2000s, PokerStars gained popularity for sending the likes of Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, and Joe Hachem to the WSOP through its satellites.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021, PokerStars is the longest-standing major online poker platform, and certainly the one that has built the biggest brand over the course of the years.
