Will my remaining balance be returned if I close my PokerStars account?

Yes, but you must withdraw it yourself before the account is closed. If there is a balance remaining at closure, PokerStars may refund it to your last payment method, but it's safer to withdraw first.

Does PokerStars offer responsible gambling tools instead of full closure?

Yes. PokerStars offers deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options. These can be found under 'Responsible Gaming' in the account settings. In the UK, you can also use GAMSTOP for multi-site self-exclusion.

How long does PokerStars account closure take?

Account closure is typically processed within 1–5 business days. If you contact support by email, allow a few extra days for their team to respond and process your request.

Viðhaldsráð

We're sorry to see you go. Before we close your account, we want to let you know about our responsible gaming options. You can set deposit limits, take a break with a cooling-off period, or self-exclude for a longer period — all without permanently losing your account. If you're in the UK, GAMSTOP provides free self-exclusion across all licensed operators. Organizations like GamCare (gamcare.org.uk) and the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-522-4700) are also available for support. If you'd still like to proceed with closing your account, please let us know and we'll process your request.
