Creating a new PokerStars account
 

When I started playing poker (realmoney), I didnt had a clue of anything. A friend had a bit of experience trough forums etc. I created my PokerStars account and had no idea for a screenname... So I asked my friend. He told me one and I used it. So now, I'm stuck with this screenname (the "real" person of this sn is a super high stakes player on fulltilt). the other player on the tables are bugging me about the sn and are asking "are you making a video? why are you at this low stakes?" Its really annoying. I emailed Stars but they wont let me deleted my account nor will they change my sn. weren't there people on this forum who were forced to change their sn because it was offensive or something? they told me they cannot change it because of software issues (I doubt that they store HH's on the servers with the sn instead of a account number or something) Any advice?

You're stuck with the name you chose when you signed up. They won't let you change your name and if you open another account you'll be breaking the T&C (so don't complain to us when it happens).

Yep, I've tried, I closed my acct for a yr, and they still wouldnt let me open new one.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

thanks for your answers! i hate to hear this... i wanted to switch from fulltilt to stars and become a supernova... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

If you tell them people are continually harassing you and that you'll play at FTP if they don't let you switch... and they still don't let you switch... you shouldn't want to play on PokerStars anyway.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

I told them that I'm getting offended etc but I didnt mention that I'll go fo FTP or whatever if they dont change it, maybe I should try it? First, I should know if it was on Stars where some people were forced to change their sn because it was offensive.. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

can you please share the s/n so we can abuse you too?

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

Just use a friends account that no longer plays/plays play $$ etc....change password u gtg. Or get non poker friend to open account for you.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

make a new account with a different adress and add a middle name or something
you say u play low stakes so just use moneygram to get money on
no big deal

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

Why is it that Party Poker will let you change your screen name every six months,but the other sites are dead set against it?

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

Just turn the chat off if you're bothered.

It's really not a big deal.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

I understand your frustration here..Using his FTP SN will make it impossible to ever play on Stars..

It's not only the chat...It's how others play..Have you ever seen a CR video when one of there pros are "trying" to make a low stakes video and somebody know who they are??? The "friend" starts making a mockery out of the game and soon EVERYBODY at the table is just trying to make moves to be able to say I beat XXXXXX..Also players who play higher stakes will "step down" just to play with the "Big Time" pro...

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

C'mon get real!

Just because OP has a sn that resembles that of a high stakes pro it does NOT mean everybody is going to think it's the person in question ... at least not for more than a few hands, lol!

U really believe high limit regs are going to come and play with you at your $25 NL table because of that?

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

every session I played, at least 1 person asked me.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

do u have any siblings ?
if not your parents
or if u are old enough and have childern,
get someone close to u to open another account for u!
its just that simple right?

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

I changed my screenname there with no problem 2 years ago or so. But they told me i can only do it once.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

Stars says they don't want players changing names because of the expense it costs them to do so. I think it would be REALLY nice if Stars or other sites would let players change their names for a fee of say $25 or whatever. That way players could change names when they wanted, and Pokerstars wouldn't be burdened changing 5000 players names a day or whatever, they could even make a profit on players changing their names. Everyone would win in this situation.

I don't think it's anything to do with cost... I'd also be happy to pay $25 to change my screen name.

Re: Creating a new PokerStars account
 

I'd pay a lot of money to change my screen name, but that's not the reason they won't let you change it.

lol. You called yourself Mike Matusow? At least that is my guess. You should probably just quit poker if this is the case.
