Betfair Poker became the first UK Flutter brand to join the new PokerStars Network on August 13, 2026.
Betfair customers now access online poker through the co-branded PokerStars on Betfair platform. They can use their existing Betfair login details and play through PokerStars software.
Existing PokerStars customers in the UK have not yet moved to Betfair. They can continue using PokerStars as normal before their planned migration later in 2026. The company will contact affected players with further instructions.
The new network connects customers from several Flutter brands to the PokerStars global player pool. UK players will retain access to cash games and major tournaments, including the Sunday Million, SCOOP and WCOOP.
PokerStars Chief Commercial Officer Mike Woodbridge explained:
We’re moving to a different model with the aim of improving liquidity and player pools and bringing people back to the poker table.
Paddy Power Poker and Sky Poker are also expected to adopt PokerStars software later in 2026. Players may hold accounts with more than one participating brand where permitted, but they can play through only one account at a time.
