I'm playing in a $100 HU on stars today, and the other player, named Glassworks, asks for $10.50 if he loses. Jokingly, i say "yes" just to [censored] with him. Anyway, I win. Two hours later i check my history and it turns out $10.50 from my account was sent to him.

Once principle of contract law is that there must be "consideration," a technical term meaning there must be something in it for both sides. Otherwise, the contract is usually not enforced.
If you would not have gotten anything if you had lost, there was no consideration, and it was a promise instead of an agreement. If so, PokerStars should not have taken the money from your account.
