Your username is displayed in the top-right corner of the PokerStars app or website when you're logged in

The fastest way to see your PokerStars username is to open the app or go to pokerstars.com and log in. Once you're logged in, look at the top-right corner of the screen — your username appears there next to a small profile icon. On mobile, you may need to tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) to see your account name displayed clearly.

If you're already logged in but can't find your username in the expected spot, try logging out and logging back in. Sometimes the display refreshes and makes it easier to spot. The username you use to log in is the same one that appears in the app and on the website — PokerStars does not use separate login names and display names.

This method works whether you're on a computer, tablet, or phone. The location may shift slightly depending on your device and which version of the app you're running, but the top-right corner is the standard place PokerStars puts account information across all platforms.

Key Takeaways

  • Your PokerStars username shows in the top-right corner of the app or website when you're logged in, next to your profile icon.
  • On mobile devices, you may need to open the menu to see your account name clearly displayed.
  • The login name and the display name are the same thing — there's only one username per account.
  • If you can't see it after logging in, try logging out and back in to refresh the display.
  • Your original account confirmation email from PokerStars contains your username if you need to find it outside the app.

Check your account settings for confirmation

You can also confirm your username by going to your account settings. On the website, click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Settings" or "Account." In the mobile app, tap the menu icon and look for "Account Settings" or "My Account." Your username will be listed there, usually near the top of the page under your account information.

Account settings also show you other details tied to your account, like your email address, account status, and when your account was created. This is a good place to double-check if you're unsure whether you're looking at the right information, and it's also where you would go if you wanted to change your username in the future.

The settings page is the most reliable place to verify your username because it's the official record PokerStars keeps of your account. If the name in settings matches what you see in the top-right corner, you can be confident that's your current active username.

Look at your email confirmation from PokerStars

When you created your PokerStars account, you received a confirmation email. That email contains your username. Search your email inbox for messages from PokerStars — look for subject lines like "Welcome to PokerStars," "Confirm your account," or "Account created." The username will be mentioned in the body of that email, usually near the top.

If you can't find the original confirmation email, check your spam or promotions folder. Sometimes welcome emails end up there by mistake. You can also search for "pokerstars" in your email to pull up all messages from that sender, which makes it easier to spot the confirmation message among other promotional emails.

This method is especially useful if you haven't logged in for a long time and want to verify your username before attempting to access your account. The confirmation email is a permanent record of what your username was when you registered.

Use the password reset page if you're locked out

If you're locked out of your account and can't log in to see your username, the password reset page can help. Go to pokerstars.com and click "Forgot Password" or "Can't log in?" You'll be asked to enter your email address. PokerStars will then send you a message that includes your username along with instructions to reset your password.

This method works even if you don't remember your username — the reset email will remind you of it. Make sure you check the email address you used when you registered, and look in your spam folder if the message doesn't arrive within a few minutes. The reset email is sent automatically, so you don't need to contact support to use this option.

After you receive the reset email with your username, you can use that information to log back in once you've created a new password. This is a self-service option that doesn't require you to wait for support staff to respond.

Contact PokerStars support if you still can't find it

If none of these methods work, PokerStars customer support can tell you your username. You can reach them through the "Help" or "Contact Us" section on the website, or through the app's support menu. Have your email address and any account details you remember ready when you contact them, as this will speed up the process.

Support staff will ask you to verify your identity before sharing your username — this is a security measure to protect your account from unauthorized access. Be prepared to answer security questions or provide other proof that you own the account, such as the email address associated with it or details about your account history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my PokerStars username?

PokerStars allows you to change your username, but the process and frequency depend on your account status and how long you've had the account. Log into your account settings to see if a username change option is available to you. Some accounts may have restrictions on how often you can change it or may require you to wait a certain amount of time between changes.

Is my username the same as my display name?

Yes, on PokerStars your login username and your display name are the same. There's only one name associated with your account, and that's what other players see at the table and what you use to log in.

What if I see a different name in the app than what I remember?

If you've changed your username in the past, the current name in your account is your active username. The name you remember may have been an old username from before a change. Check your account settings to see the current active username.

Can I look up someone else's username?

You cannot look up another player's username through PokerStars unless you already know it or see it at a table. PokerStars does not provide a public player directory or search function for privacy reasons.

How long does it take to receive the password reset email with my username?

The password reset email typically arrives within a few minutes of requesting it. If you don't see it after five to ten minutes, check your spam and promotions folders, as email filters sometimes redirect PokerStars messages there by mistake.
