UK players accessed PokerStars via Betfair for the first time on October 8, 2026, following Flutter Entertainment’s migration of eligible PokerStars.uk accounts to the Betfair platform. Now, British players can enjoy PokerStars tables directly through the Betfair client and app.

Alongside this transition, the Stack+ program was introduced, offering up to 25% rakeback on cash play. Progression in Flutter’s UK Poker strategy, this October migration marks the completion of the second phase of Flutter’s UK consolidation strategy, initially revealed in August.

Betfair Poker was the first to transition on August 13, departing from the iPoker network to relaunch on PokerStars software, adopting the co-branded PokerStars on Betfair identity. On the same day, Betfair customers gained access to the global player pool from PokerStars.com, while PokerStars.uk remained operational until its users could make the switch. Until this year, Flutter’s UK brands each managed their own poker offerings separately, and the goal of consolidating their player liquidity is fundamental to the overall strategy.

“I’m thrilled to bring two iconic brands under one roof,” commented Kim Daly, managing director of Betfair, back in August. In the US, PokerStars on FanDuel successfully integrated Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania into a unified player pool, following a similar model on April 1.
