PokerStars Transitions Russian Players to Sochi Client with New Payment Methods and Tournaments


Starting November 2, 2021, all Russian players on PokerStars will be transitioned to the PokerStars Sochi client. This move introduces new payment methods and exciting tournaments.

The transition to the PokerStars Sochi client means that players do not need to create a new account; they can authorize using their existing PokerStars credentials. The PokerStars Sochi client supports additional payment methods, including WebMoney and Visa, making it more convenient for Russian players to deposit and withdraw funds.

The MicroMillions Marathon series on PokerStars will distribute $1,800,000 over five days. The series includes 107 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $1.1 to $22. Two main tournaments in the series have buy-ins of $22 and $11 with guarantees of $500,000 and $50,000 respectively. Additionally, GipsyTeam hosts free tournaments every Sunday with a prize pool of $200. Partypoker's Boosted Hours offers tripled cashback every second hour, and the platform is giving away VIP packages for the 2022 French Grand Prix. The Irish Poker Masters KO series on partypoker features 17 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from €44 to €2,100, including a main tournament with a buy-in of €1,100 and a guarantee of €1,000,000. Partypoker's Autumn Fishing event offers $23,000 in prizes and freerolls. 888poker is offering $1,000,000 in freerolls and gifts.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
