Previously, it was available and the operation was carried out by analogy with the sending of real money. However, player-to-player transfers are currently not available for play money. The reason is simple: each user can receive play money in his account absolutely free of charge at any time. This option is available every four hours and gives you 15,000 chips. Therefore, everyone can get these chips easily without any transfers.

Basic Funds Transfer Rules

PokerStars has imposed some restrictions on the transfer of funds and created rules that protect users from potential fraud:

  • The minimal transfer amount is $0,01 and the maximal one depends on the player’s status and history of the account;
  • PokerStars money transfer can be used only for the purpose of replenishing accounts of other players who will continue to play in the room using this money;
  • All restrictions on the transfer of funds are set as an additional security measure of the player’s account;
  • If there are large amounts of money in transfer, the security service of the room may contact you to further confirm the transaction;
  • Security service of the site may request documents to prove your identity;
  • The poker room doesn’t consider receiving funds from another player as a deposit, so you will not be able to get any bonuses from PokerStars. In order to receive the first deposit bonus, you need to replenish your account yourself.
  • These transfer rules also apply on PokerStars.es and other skins of the network.
