Dear PoolStars Players
We have a big news. PoolStars is merging into Poolsharks (poolsharks.com). This is a great, new opportunity for all our players. By merging into Poolsharks, we will create a community with more players, more games, bigger tournaments and more fun.
Combining with Poolsharks will create the biggest community of serious online pool and snooker players. Checkout Poolsharks, the guys there are serious and enthusiastic about realistic online pool and snooker. And now, we will all be in the same online community, on the same platform, playing against each other.
It is easy to move your account from PoolStars to Poolsharks. Just login to the PoolStars website and visit our migration page here. On that page you confirm your transfer and download the new Poolsharks client software. Then just login with your existing PoolStars login name and password. Then, start playing. Agreeing to transfer your account to Poolsharks will close your PoolStars account.
If you've already got a Poolsharks account, it is just as easy. Visit the same page here as above, confirm the transfer, download new Poolsharks client software and login using your PoolStars ID. After that, if you want to merge your two accounts and balances, contact Poolsharks support for help (
support@poolsharks.com).
Any real money you've got in your account is safe. We're not going to transfer fun money. But the whole withdrawable real money balance in your account will be transferred to your Poolsharks account after you log in to Poolsharks the first time. You will be able to start staking games right away. Or, if you prefer, you can cashout your balance from within the Poolsharks client software.The minimum cashout is $5.
You will need to decide to transfer your account by 14 October 2009. The transfer of player accounts closes that morning. To keep playing realistic, high-quality online pool and snooker, you will need to have downloaded the Poolsharks client software after agreeing to transfer your account here. Poolsharks is the only client software that is as good as PoolStars.
Effective today, it will no longer be possible to deposit money into your PoolStars account, to play games for money or create new accounts. PoolStars gaming servers will close on 28 September. If you want to keep playing high-quality online pool for money, you need to move to Poolsharks.
If you have urgent questions, please email PoolStars support (
support@poolstars.com).
We look forward to seeing you online at our new home, Poolsharks.
Good luck,
The PoolStars Team
