Players who found their funds locked up in administration when PKR.com went bust can get their money from PokerStars.
In early May the pioneering PKR.com was removed from Microgaming’s Poker Network, the MPN, after informing the Isle of Man-based online gaming giant that they were experiencing “financial difficulties”. On July 6, PokerStars announced that tens of thousands of players, left short-changed by the event, would find whatever amount they had lost to PKR’s demise matched in their regular PokerStars accounts. Those few who didn’t have accounts with both could simply open an account at PokerStars, jump through a simple hoop with a few clicks, and withdraw their funds. They were also welcome to play with the funds on PokerStars.
