Sites that allow gaming for real money are not allowed to advertise on American television. To get around this inconvenience, sites like Full Tilt and Stars typically offer two different brands of their sites: a "dot net" version and a "dot com" version.

Full Tilt owns the domains FullTiltPoker.net and FullTiltPoker.com. The dot net version only offers poker action with play money chips and is branded as an education and entertainment site. The dot com version offers both play money games and real money games.

The sites are allowed to advertise their dot net branded site on television channels such as ESPN, the Travel Channel and NBC because they are technically not gambling sites. The hope is that players will see the commercials for the dot net site and will later go back to their computers and type dot com instead. Even if a player downloads the dot net version of the software and later wants to play for money, there are many ways that they can learn about the real money site (Google, forums, and even the chat rooms within the poker site itself).

    You need to download the pokerstars.COM version for the real money version. You can then upload any picture you have, as all the grayed out options will be available.

    Pokerstars.net – play money only
    Pokerstars.com – play money or real money.

    There is really no reason to download from .net, as there is nothing you can do there that you can’t do on .com, but they have to advertise the "non-gambling" site.

    On Pokerstars.net (i.e Playmoney poker) there is generally a lag or delay when you upload the picture. You will be able to see your picture once it is approved by Pokerstars.
    So the image must be appropriate.

    Also for playing real money poker, you need to download their real money software (avaliable for PC and Mac) from POKERSTARS.com at http://www.casinosdiary.com/poker-rooms/pokerstars-poker-room/ . It allows you to play Texas holdem, H.O.R.S.E and other formats of poker. After downloading and validating your account, you can start playing online poker.
