Star on the top of a pokerstars avatar??

It sounds like it indicates a person who has not actually deposited any money on the site yet, ie hasn't played any rel money games on that account.

Well, I play on the .com side and I have won a little money through freerolls although I currently have no money in my account.

Never played on the .net side

Signed up and only played on the .com side

Never played real money games on that site

Only ever played fake money games

Do not have a star above my circle. Many other fake money players do not. Many of them do. Have often asked other players about this. Most have no clue.

A couple have said in the past that it had something to do with tournaments-- having won (perhaps won a freeroll and moving on to second level-- if that is the correct terminology-- next tourney?)

[Donkenstein]

hmmm maybe its about having won or cashed in your last game? Like a running hot icon. Doubt they'd advertise winner like that but maybe. /shrug

No idea lol. Someone should ask PS about that one.

[Merton0806]

pretty sure it means you signed up through .net.

I'm pretty positive that Merton is right on this one. Notice that the players with a star don't have pictures? That option isn't available for the .net signup. I wondered about it too when I first signed up thru .net for play money.
