What is www.Pokerstrategy.com ?
www.Pokerstrategy.com is one of the oldest and most successful online poker schools in the world. This refers not only to our size (more than 2,000,000 members), but also to our members' success, which is well beyond that of typical online players.
The site, along with the articles, videos, coachings, forums and starting capital are financed through the so-called 'affiliate agreement.'

www.Pokerstrategy.com is partnered with the biggest poker rooms, such as Mansion Poker, Titan Poker and Party Poker. When a member registers at one of these partner rooms, www.Pokerstrategy.com gets a portion of the rake that a member pays to the house when he plays. Since rake is always taken, the only difference is that now part of the rake returns to www.Pokerstrategy.com and is used to pay the authors, coaches, moderators, videos, etc.

How do you become a poker strategist?
There are four steps in the registration process at www.Pokerstrategy.com :
• Step 1: Register
• Step 2: Learn the poker strategy of any one format
• Step 3: Pass the quiz on the strategy you chose to receive your starting capital
• Step 4: Set up an account at one of our partner rooms



Why is there a quiz?
The starting capital you get from PokerStrategy.com can be seen as an investment in people who have an interest in playing poker and want to learn poker strategy. So why do you have to pass a quiz to get the starting capital?
Passing the quiz proves that you have the potential to become a good poker player - theoretically at least. Beginners also learn basic strategy, meaning they can go straight to the tables after passing the quiz and aren't in danger of losing all of their starting capital right off the bat.
The quiz isn't just for fun and it's not meant to make things difficult; it's a way of making sure new players will be able to get free starting capital in the future and prevents new members from taking money to the tables without really knowing what they are doing.

"Free starting capital from www.Pokerstrategy.com " only works when the majority of the players don't gamble away their starting capital, but seize this one time opportunity and use the capital to make a profit.



What is the ID-Check?
After passing the quiz and creating an account, new members may be asked to perform the so-called ID-Check.
The ID-Check requires the new member to prove that they really are who they claim to be with an official document (for example, a passport or other official identification). The ID-Check is performed at random and is a necessary step to prevent individuals from receiving starting capital more than once.

This isn't aimed at people who may have lost their starting capital and want to give it second and more serious chance. It's more about avoiding large scale fraud, which, unfortunately, has been attempted in the past. After attempts to receive the starting capital 1,000+ times occurred, we had no other choice than to introduce the ID-Check at www.Pokerstrategy.com .

A lot of people are hesitant to share private documents. Our privacy policy is clear: All private data remains private. We only use this information for the purpose of confirming a person's identification with the ID-Check.
It is, of course, a matter of trust, but in this case, understanding why the ID-Check is necessary helps.
