This page settles who may register, which documents get checked and the minimum first deposit, before you begin.
PokerStars Casino path
PokerStars Casino keeps one kind of detail per screen, so each entry can be checked.
Start from the registration button on the PokerStars Casino site, in a browser or the iOS and Android apps. Ignore old links you were sent.
Your password and the address you enter are your login details, and a reset link goes to that address. Keep an inbox you check daily.
The screen asks for your name, date of birth and address, exactly as they appear on your photo ID. A small spelling difference can stall the check that follows.
On the go
Find out whether a phone alone is enough to open and use your single account.
You want to open your account from your phone, with no computer nearby. The mobile browser runs the same sign-up as a desktop, so the steps described above apply to your phone too. Keep the connection steady from the first screen to the last.
Switching between a phone and a computer should not mean starting over. Your username or e-mail address and your password open the same account on both devices. Each person may hold one account only, and duplicates are closed.
Back on track
If your sign-up stops part way, contact support before trying anything else. Live chat, phone and e-mail run from 10 AM to 10 PM daily. Use [email protected] for written detail, or +61 98 289 9710 to call.
A sign-up stuck on one screen is best handled in live chat. Have your registration e-mail address and the exact error text ready.
Long problems and screenshots fit an e-mail better than a chat window. Describe the step where the sign-up stopped, the device, and the time you tried.
For access problems after sign-up, have your username or e-mail address ready. Password reset links go to the registered e-mail, so keep that inbox open.
Most players fear one wrong detail will block the account, so each step below shows what to check.
You are about to set the details that stay on your account, so settle them first. Your name, date of birth and address must match your photo ID exactly, since the checks compare them. Use an email inbox you check often, since the confirmation link and any password reset go only there. Pick a password you have not used elsewhere. Choose Australia as your country and Australian dollars, shown as A$, as your currency. Accept the terms and confirm you are 18+ before you finish.
Your login is the first line of defence, and the site adds 256-bit SSL encryption on top. Keep the password private and sign out on shared computers. A second profile in your name gets closed, so keep the one you open. Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, reality checks and self-exclusion are open to you from the first day. If play starts to feel out of control, the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Once registration is done, the account waits for a photo ID, proof of address and a payment card image. PokerStars Casino operates under licence ALSI-286346 from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, and that licence requires these checks. The review takes 23 hours and must finish before your first withdrawal. Make your first deposit of at least A$14 and pick the welcome offer in the cashier. It follows registration and you pick it at the moment you deposit.
Gather these items so the sign-up runs without a pause.
PokerStars Casino verification
The licence requires identity checks before money leaves the account, and a review takes up to twenty-three hours.

Problem guide
After reading, you will have a clear next step for any stalled sign-up, without a second account.
A self-exclusion recorded on BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, stops new sign-ups. If you have one, the sign-up cannot go through, whatever details you change.
Nothing happens when you press the button and the page stays unchanged. Usually one required field is still empty, or the browser blocked the page.
Only people aged 18+ who live in Australia can register. A refusal usually means the date of birth or the address you gave does not meet that.
Six common questions
Straight answers, the way we run every account: one profile, clear rules, no surprises.
When you need a correction after registering, contact support through live chat, phone or email. Name and date of birth have to match your identity document, so do not change them to suit a nickname. A new email address also receives your password reset links.
This site runs its accounts in Australian dollars, shown as A$, so every balance, deposit and withdrawal uses that currency. Check the country and currency before you continue, because the sign-up sets them. If the currency on your account looks wrong, message support via live chat, phone or email.
PokerStars Casino LLC holds a licence from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, licence number ALSI-286346. Check that number with the regulator before you deposit. A licence sets the rules the operator must follow, but it does not guarantee your winnings.
Yes, you will need a photo ID, a proof of address and a payment card image. Uploaded files travel over 256-bit SSL encryption, so they are protected in transit. Send only the three documents listed in the verification step.
No deposit is needed to finish the sign-up. Your first deposit must be at least A$14, and you pick the welcome offer in the cashier when you make it.
Send your documents once you are logged in. Verification takes 23 hours from the moment they arrive, and identity documents are checked at the latest before your first withdrawal. Clear, uncropped photos avoid delays.
