Pokerstars does not work on iPhone - what to do? This question is asked quite often by fans of this game. Despite the fact that the game was originally made with a desktop computer in mind, many players prefer to play using a variety of mobile gadgets. This is very convenient, because in this case everyone can do this business on the road or, for example, while sitting in line. In these circumstances, a computer will not always be at hand. But an iPhone or other gadget will be just right. That is why when PokerStars does not work on iPhone, it causes a feeling of irritation and misunderstanding. Let's figure it out together.
Why is this happening?
It is worth noting that for a long time PokerStars developers did almost nothing for fans of the game who are used to playing from their phones. They had to install third party applications or play via remote desktop.
However, today we can say that the technology has improved and the functions have expanded, so it can be used on Android based, and on the Apple operating system. But even now there are often cases when Pokerstars does not work on iPhone. First of all, this may be caused by the fact that during installation, users did not take into account all the parameters.
How to install the game?
If you want to start playing, first of all stand on your own mobile device download the stationary version. Once this is done, you need to register with PokerStars. But it is important to understand what different sites offer different ways downloads. Often you may be asked to enter a special code for the software. Read all the terms and conditions carefully so that you don’t have questions later about why Pokerstars doesn’t work on iPhone.
To install the game directly on your iPhone, it is important to visit the page of the PokerStars application itself and select the version designed specifically for your phone model. Problems may occur due to the fact that you selected the wrong software when they tried for the very first time. After downloading the program, the iTunes panel will open.
At the beginning of May, some Russian players began to complain about problems with launching the PokerStars client. If previously most providers blocked only access to the room’s website, now some of them have reached the client himself. IN currently a number of players cannot log into the poker room, and some receive a connection error message after launching the client. All this is happening against the backdrop of the sudden disappearance of the PokerStars mobile client from the Russian App Store, which definitely raises alarming thoughts. Who knows, perhaps Roskomnadzor, which together with the Federal Tax Service is now actively fighting against online gambling, has finally learned how to effectively block access to online casinos, bookmakers and poker rooms in Russia.
PokerStars client ban
On this moment It is known that players using the following providers have difficulty launching the client: MTS, Yota, 2KOM, Rostelecom, Beeline, Megafon. Moreover, some of them cannot run a regular client, while others cannot run a mobile one.
Blocking access to PokerStars tasks
Those players who PokerStars client launched without problems, we encountered another problem - the tasks section in the poker room simply stopped loading. First of all, this is due to the fact that the site with statistics on tasks was also included in the list of those prohibited by Roskomnadzor. Therefore, some Russian players cannot watch and start completing new PokerStars tasks.
The PokerStars client has been removed from the Russian App Store
If previously poker fans could easily find mobile client PokerStars in the App Store, download it to your smartphone/tablet and calmly play for money, but now they have been deprived of this opportunity. The PokerStars app has been removed from the App Store and is no longer available to Russians. Only those players who managed to download the application before it was removed from the store can play it. At the same time, there are already complaints that the mobile provider Megafon / MTS has begun to block the work of the PokerStars mobile client. Captain Gossip recently warned us about this, and this is certainly a problem, because mobile traffic provided a good influx of new players. In turn, PokerStars support confirmed that they are aware of the problem and that removing the mobile client is solely Apple's decision.
If you have Russian account in the App Store, then you will not be able to download the PokerStars mobile client, because it has been removed from the official store. Users with accounts from other countries (for example Canada) still have the opportunity to install the PokerStars mobile client.
What to do if the PokerStars client does not start?
To do this, open the folder with installed by the client and find the “PokerStarsUpdate.exe” shortcut there. It is quite possible that this will solve your problem.
This is the best way, which is guaranteed not to block your account for violating the rules of the poker room. Just send an email with your question [email protected]- as a rule, the answer comes within 15 minutes. Questions can be asked in Russian.
This PokerStars client is not blocked by Roskomnadzor because it is legal. There you can play for virtual chips in all popular formats, and also win free tickets to the European Poker Tour Sochi poker series, which takes place in the official legal gaming zone in Sochi.
After the persecution of poker by Russian legislation began, players began to massively develop online. And since the owners of any room register or rent a server outside the Russian Federation, citizens of our country can play poker on the Internet quite legally.
But zealous local authorities sometimes try to influence certain providers, negotiating, for example, with Rostelecom, Beeline, Yota, MTS, etc. And when a user tries to download the room client, an unpleasant surprise may await him - oops, PokerStars is blocked! However, this may be relevant for other poker sites (, etc.).
Quit the game? Of course not. If PokerStars website blocked(a window appears on the screen with a message that access to the resource is limited, closed or prohibited) you can simply select one of the methods that allows you to bypass this prohibition.

After completing the steps, you can safely proceed to
At some point, when opening the PokerStars website, I saw the inscription
“Access denied. Dear subscriber!
Access to the Internet resource you requested is limited at the request of law enforcement agencies in accordance with the law and/or based on a court decision."
As it turns out, the reason is very simple. Many providers (for me this is MTS), complying with Federal Law No. 139-FZ of July 28, 2012, restricted access to the PokerStars website.
But it is not all that bad, as it may seem. The program (client) you are playing in is not blocked, and you will be able to play in full. But the problem is that you won’t be able to download it from the PokerStars website, since it doesn’t open. To download the client from the sitePokerStars follow this link.
If this link is also blocked by the provider, then another solution is needed. While reading information about this problem, I found perfect solution. You can download the Pokerstar client via special anonymous browser, which hides your IP address, so your ISP does not know where you are coming from. (30mb)
“Tor (short for The Onion Router) is free software for implementing the second generation of so-called “onion routing”. This is a system that allows you to establish an anonymous network connection.
With Tor, users can remain anonymous when visiting websites. Traffic security is ensured through the use of a distributed network of servers (nodes) called “onion routers.”
Download the client and unpack it, run it Start Tor Browser.exe will open regular browser FireFox, but running over a remote connection. Now you can open any sites that are blocked by Internet providers, including the PokerStars site.
The browser usually works much slower, since your traffic is encrypted and goes through a huge number of servers around the world, but this is tolerable, because you need to solve the problem that the PokerStars website does not open, and having opened it, you only need to download the client itself and play for yourself to your health.
Therefore, if you cannot access the PokerStars website, then download this browser and you will be able to visit any sites.
If you just need download official client PokerStars and immediately start playing without visiting the official website, you can do this using proxy services.
After this, the pokerstars website page will open, where you can download the application.

The "Casino" and "Vegas" buttons may also disappear when logging into client.eu (this can happen when loading the client via VPN).
