A PokerStars reminder for PKR refunds has once again been sent out as they urge players seeking these refunds from PKR to submit an application before the deadline at the end of this February 2018.

In May of last year PKR who are UK based appointed administrators after confirming that both the PKR Ltd and PKR Technologies Ltd businesses were suffering from financial issues. In July, PokerStars has agreed a deal to reimburse players who lost money as a result of the recent closure of rival operator PKR.

In a blog post, Eric Hollreiser, vice-president of corporate communications for Amaya and PokerStars, said players’ PKR balances would be made available, “dollar-for-dollar”, in PokerStars accounts. Hollreiser also said the process will offer a “no strings attached” solution for players, adding that PokerStars will contact the approximately 60,000 PKR customers affected by the recent troubles.

He said that “For the majority of PKR players that have an existing PokerStars account, it should take just a few clicks from receiving our email to seeing their PKR funds appear in their PokerStars account,” and that “there will be some further steps for the minority that need to open a new PokerStars account, but their primary aim and intention was to make funds available for withdrawal as quickly as possible.

Players that have as yet not submitted the necessary forms and claims must submit their claim by no later than February 28th 2018 or risk losing out on a possible refund.

In a statement, The Stars Group, parent company of PokerStars, said: No player should be left unprotected and short-changed by an operator they trust. So if players do receive an email, or haven’t had the chance to log-in, they urge that they do so before the deadline date – it will only take a few minutes.”
