PokerStars Sister Sites

Every brand on licence 39108

No other brand currently sits on this licence account.

How the group is structured

PokerStars is the only trading name on account 39108. In licensing terms it stands alone: there is no sibling brand sharing its operator, and no group-wide account policy that could reach it from somewhere else.

Is PokerStars safe?

PokerStars holds a current Gambling Commission licence under account 39108. That is the part you can verify yourself, and it is the part that matters: a UK licence brings segregated customer funds, a named alternative dispute resolution route, mandatory age verification and GAMSTOP participation.

What a licence does not tell you is how the operator behaves — how fast withdrawals clear, how it handles a disputed bonus, how heavy the verification is. That is worth reading reviews for. What we publish here is the record, not a score.

To check it yourself: open the Gambling Commission public register, search Stars Interactive Limited, and confirm account 39108 lists PokerStars as a trading name. It takes about thirty seconds and it is the only source that cannot be marketed at you.

GAMSTOP and self-exclusion

Because PokerStars is licensed by the Gambling Commission, a GAMSTOP self-exclusion blocks it. It also blocks every other brand on account 39108 and every other UK-licensed gambling site, in one registration.

This is the reason the "sister site" question matters to people who have self-excluded. You cannot get round GAMSTOP by moving to a sibling brand, and any site advertising itself as outside GAMSTOP is not UK-licensed. We do not list those, and we do not link to them.
