Poker Stars, Small Star Above Avatar?

[MeanGreenTT]

Anyone ever seen this? I was searching for a player and when I opened up the table, I noticed one of the players had a small white star at the top center of the ring around the avatar.

It wasn't part of the avatar, defintely part of the Stars software, or at least appeared that way to me.

Sorry if this is ancient, common knowledge. Thanks in advance.

I asked a player at a table with it, and someone other than the player told me it was pokerstars.net signups.

yes. it means they signed up through .net rather than .com
if you sit at a play money table, you will probably see a few people with the stars.

That's what I am thinking. Star = play-money graduate? Why don't they just make it a bullseye?

Thanks for writing.

The star on the top of some image circles indicates players who
are using PokerStars.net. This is a special "play money only" version
of our software.

The .NET software is missing many of the features you are used to on
PokerStars.com, including "Find A Player," the ability to upload and
change images, the Cashier button, Instant Hand History and more,
including the real money tables.

There are no features or games on the .NET software that you cannot
already find on the .COM software you are already using.

We appreciate your interest, and wish you the best of luck in our
games. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

You must have been wrong Exit...

If your friend was playing on the play money tables while using the .Com
version of our software, he could have seen players with a star on their
icon playing on the same play money table but using the .NET version of our
software.

Players with a start on their icon, cannot play on the real money tables
as these tables are not available on the .NET version of the software.
