PokerStars will drive online poker players into the arms of BetStars via a new innovative promotion called The Big Race in honour of the forthcoming Ascot Festival.

It’s Father’s Day on Sunday, and as my wife said I could do anything I want, I have decided to spend most of the day losing my hard earned cash playing online poker.

So what takes my fancy?

I like the look of PokerStars latest promotion, and the $2 buy-in is well within the framework of my paltry bankroll. When PokerStars announced plans to enter the online casino and sportsbook markets back in 2014, it made perfect sense from a business perspective, but not everyone was pouring delight on the idea from a large metal watering can. Victoria Coren-Mitchell left the team such was her concern over the move into these two areas.
