According to Team PokerStars Professional Player Dario Minieri, "Players on PokerStars.it will have the opportunity to win their entry into famous international poker events such as the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. These competitions require players to have the right mix of skill, training, concentration and luck,"

Online poker has seen remarkable growth in Italy with the success of Italian poker players like Team PokerStars Pro Dario and Luca Pagano. Market research indicates that during the first year of online poker being legalized, half a million accounts will be opened throughout the Italian poker industry creating a EUR 400 million poker market.
