"Poker is one of the most-loved games in the world and in recent years has become one of the most popular online games," said Jeffrey Haas, PokerStars Director of New Platforms.  "Our mobile app allows more people to discover the game, while providing more opportunities for existing fans to play wherever they want and whenever they want."

The PokerStars Mobile " App Suite" also includes the PokerStars TV, the PokerStars Clock and the EPT (European Poker Tour) Guide App. Each of these apps have been designed and developed to fit within the ecosystem of products that PokerStars already offers its players, deepening and enriching their experience of consuming poker content, supporting their poker-playing habits.

The PokerStars TV App for example compliments the PokerStars.tv website and gives the ability for its audience to watch their favourite poker shows and to follow LIVE coverage of PokerStars events from wherever they are.
