What this guide covers
Brand identification, not an endorsement.RedStar describes a poker room with Hold’em, Omaha, 6+ Hold’em and Omaha Hi-Lo, plus tournament and speed formats. Its public rules let a reader compare game types and fee structures, though a published stake band is not proof that a table at that stake is active now.
RedStar names Playtech on its About page, while its June terms also use the label ‘iPoker games’. A Curaçao register snapshot matches the operator’s licence identifier. These documents offer useful checks, while leaving the current client, player pool and September licence status untested.
The product in brief
A document-based summary, not a live service check. On a narrow screen, scroll within the table; keyboard users can focus it and use the arrow keys.
| Topic | What the sources establish |
|---|---|
| Published poker menu | RedStar’s How to Play pages describe Hold’em, Omaha, 6+ Hold’em and Omaha Hi-Lo, with speed and tournament material. No live table count or schedule was measured. Sources: RedStar How to Play index. |
| Fee model | The published rake page describes no rake before a flop and varies pot charges and caps by stakes and players dealt in. Direct reading of that page redirected to a country-restriction screen in this review; its search-indexed table was not copied as current pricing. Sources: RedStar rake structure. |
| Corporate record | RedStar names RSP Entertainment N.V. (Curaçao) and Vereker Limited (Cyprus) for website/card processing. This review did not audit the payment flow. Sources: RedStar About Us. |
| Dated regulator match | The Curaçao Gaming Authority’s 21 May 2026 registry lists RSP Entertainment N.V., B2C, number OGL/2024/168/0127, with ‘Indefinite’ status at that snapshot. A newer live status and site-domain scope were not confirmed. Sources: Curaçao Gaming Authority register, 21 May 2026. |
A useful menu, with limits on what it proves
RedStar’s public teaching index covers Hold’em, Omaha, 6+ Hold’em and Omaha Hi-Lo. These are meaningfully different decisions: Omaha Hi-Lo can split a pot between high and qualifying low hands. RedStar’s Speed Poker page describes moving to a fresh hand after a fold, while its Twister page describes a three-player sit-and-go with a prize determined before play. Neither is simply a new name for a scheduled tournament.
The About page says RedStar Poker is developed by Playtech and names BetConstruct for sports betting. Its current terms use the label ‘iPoker games’ in a separate restriction list. The documents do not themselves resolve how every current client, table or pool is branded. We did not download software, enter a lobby or measure regional traffic, so the older claim that an Eastern European concentration improves game quality is not a supported finding.
RedStar says its brand began in 2005 and focuses on Eastern Europe. That is useful history and positioning when attributed to the publisher, not evidence of uninterrupted operation, current traffic or opponent composition.

RedStar’s indexed rake page says a cash pot is charged only after a flop and shows different caps by stakes and number of players. It also has separate tournament-fee material. This gives a better comparison method than a single percentage: identify the game, stake, table size, pot rule and cap together.
The direct rake URL redirected our research request to a country-restriction page, so we did not reproduce its numeric table as verified current pricing. Published stake bands are a tariff, not an inventory of open games. A claim about active table size, wait time or value would need a dated lobby observation that this review did not make.
Sources: RedStar rake structure; RedStar How to Play index.Website rules and poker-game rules are separate
The June terms have two different scopes: a 28-jurisdiction website-registration list, including Iran, and a longer iPoker-game list that includes Turkey and the UAE. Other game types have their own limits. A general site rule cannot answer a poker-specific question by itself.
Deep Poker’s 1 September panel comparison noted a mismatch with RedStar’s published restrictions. We did not retest that panel; its settings cannot establish the operator’s complete product policy.
RedStar’s current Cryptocurrency Terms confirm selected cryptocurrencies as a payment method but put the specific coins and networks in its cashier. They also describe account and wallet checks. A public crypto policy therefore establishes a category of payment, not the availability, timing or cost of a particular method for a particular account. We did not access a cashier or make a transfer.

RedStar publishes OGL/2024/168/0127 for RSP Entertainment N.V. The Curaçao Gaming Authority’s 21 May 2026 PDF matches that entity, registration 101703 and B2C licence number, marked ‘Indefinite’ at the snapshot date.
That is a dated regulator match for the entity and licence identifier. It is not a September status check, a certificate for every RedStar domain, a software audit, a payout record or a conclusion about an individual’s rights. Vereker Limited is separately named in the publisher’s pages for website and card processing; we did not independently check the Cyprus registration or actual transaction routing.
The earlier profile called the number a ‘stronger signal’ and RedStar’s licence above average. Those comparisons outran the evidence. The useful finding is narrower and more concrete: a reader has a regulator row, an operator named in terms, and separate published product rules to compare, each with its own date and scope.

Is RedStar Poker on Playtech or iPoker?
About says Playtech develops its poker product; the June terms also mention ‘iPoker games’. We have not inspected a current client or mapped its player pool.
Do RedStar’s terms have one country list?
No. The June terms separate website-registration limits from iPoker-game limits. Other game types may differ too.
Was RedStar’s licence number found in a regulator register?
Yes. The Curaçao Gaming Authority’s 21 May 2026 register matches the RSP entity and published number, marked Indefinite then. No newer status or domain-specific scope was established.
Does RedStar publish which coins it supports?
Its 26 June Cryptocurrency Terms say selected cryptocurrencies are supported and place the coin and network list in the cashier. We did not inspect an account-specific cashier, so no particular coin, network, fee or processing time is confirmed here.
