With the new UK tax laws coming into effect on 1st October, you are now required to download a UK only PokerStars. You can still play with players from around the world - I think this will just make it easier for PS to pay their taxes.
Due to new regulations, all gaming services available to players in the United Kingdom must be licensed in the UK. As a result, all PokerStars players in the UK are required to download the PokerStars UK desktop client and/or mobile app to continue using the service. From 00:01 BST on October 1, you will need to move your account to PokerStars UK in order to continue playing.
Your log-in details, account balance and history will NOT be affected, and you will still be able to enjoy all PokerStars games with players from around the world.
Moving your account will be quick and straightforward, and you’ll be automatically prompted to do so when you log-in after September 30. Players using PokerStars Mobile will need to download the new UK-specific apps from the App Store or PokerStars Mobile site.
As a special thank you to our players, everyone who moves to PokerStars UK by October 5 will be able to play in our series of daily PokerStars UK Freerolls, with £5,000 added. Running every night from October 1-5 at 20:00 BST, each tournament has a £1,000 added prize pool. The sooner you move your account to PokerStars UK, the more freerolls you can play.
