This Monday, PokerStars announced a new security feature designed to protect the accounts of its players.
It is a validation SMS created to reduce the vulnerability of the accounts of its players.
The service is free for all. For now, only a few countries will be able to use this option, but shortly, all players will be able to enjoy.
To activate this option, nothing simpler: in the main lobby, go to Account/Enter SMS Validation code.
You will need to have a cell phone number associated with your account so that the option works.
Is this option gives you the benefit?
An SMS will be sent to you when irregular activities will be recorded on your account by PokerStars security systems. From this moment, your account will be blocked until you provide the code included in the SMS message you have received.
