Celebrating 20 Years

PokerStars was founded in 2001 by Isai Scheinberg and Mark Scheinberg. It has since grown to become the biggest online poker site in the world, having control of more than two-thirds of the online real money poker market.

The site celebrates its 20th anniversary this year by launching a number of events and tournaments. Last week, it launched the Big 20 Rewind, a series of tournaments that will give away up to $5.5 million in prizes.
