Hi guys.
I received a life-time ban from PokerStars 4-5 years ago.
I was wondering if any PokerStars admins are on 2+2?
I would like to know if there is anyway I can upturn the PokerStars ban?
I can provide references from long term professional players on PokerStars if need be.
Thanks, Todd

What did you get banned for?

What did they tell you after you requested reinstatement?

Why not just make another account if you think that's fine?

I have no information on what Stars will do, but I would imagine your chances are better if you were just using 2 or 3 accounts in random games not at the same time or on the same table..

I'm of a similar question.

I got banned in the past for having an account when I was underage.

Have tried creating new accounts since and they all get flagged and banned then pretty quickly. Never cheated or anything like that.

8 years later you'd think they'd let you back.

My good friend, EeeTee2008.
Is there any way I can tag/contact people on here?
I was told to contact Pokerstars Luke.
Thanks

Silly reason to ban someone for life imo

I have the same problem. In 2010 i was banned because of my bad language against pokertars stuff via email. After that i sent definetly more than 50 emails, but they dont reopen my account. I already told them many times that it was a mistake and it cant occur again. Even just saying this disturbs me. Of course no bad language etc. I was a very young man at that time and now after 8 years i still have to suffer that action :/ I missed pokerstars really. I already tried to open a new account but it is being closed after recognizing my name. I am really sorry that their rules are so strict

Opening new accounts might be reason for not allowing you back.

Shocking.

Definitely a smart idea to break their rules to try to get them to let you back, I suppose that was also due to youthful indiscretion.

100% this...the absolutely cluelessness of some people and lack of awareness is hilarious to me. If this was his best idea he is saving money by being banned imo

Players have been reinstated, most famously ZeeJustin.

Your best chance is to contact PokerStars directly, I don't know what their policy is on such things these days.

True

Have pretty much moved 100% to playing on 888 but it drives me nuts (pun intended) when there's good tournament series' etc on Stars and i can't play them.

Most likely more to it to be honest. I got pulled up for multi accounts when I was younger, because I created a new one to reset my stats.

My account was frozen and I had to email them explaining my reasons and they simply closed the old account, and warned me not to do it again. If you have an explanation which can be proven they will not ban you for life.
