Why doesn't Stars have a casino?

I mean, they don't even offer blackjack, sidebets, nothing.

Are they trying to say they're better than everyone else?

Thanks.

Also, why won't they turn off my doomswitch?

they like their customers too much to do that to us -

I think it's a good thing (for me) that Stars dosn't have a casino.

Agreed, dont give them any ideas. They show their class by not bowing down to the temptation the other rooms have and by not fleecing their fish, do you want the fish to bust before they ever get to the poker table?

I believe Stars caters to the more refined internet poker player that may think poorley of -EV/house edge gambling games (note the lack of fancy graphics, excelent CS, rock solid software, & tight games).

They may also believe as the only Major site that does not offer it, it may be an advantage (good players that bust on PBJ may choose Stars next time, or people that believe that the fish may/do bust out on such things may choose Stars instead)

Because they hate money.

Because they actually have experienced poker manager running the poker room. They also care about their players and thoughts/concnerns to let them piss away money at casino games.

I hope this is sarcasm. They are as money hungry as any other poker room. I can guarantee you that a casino will be added sometime in the future.

Well... I don't know how you can guarantee anything. Surely if they wanted one, they could have had it by now?

It is sort of weird, though, since they gotta be passing up cash, by not doing it.

Stars has always gone its own way, the only site that doesn't do a permanent 1st deposit bonus, the only one without rb, etc. So maybe it's somehow part of their marketing strategy.
