We have received several requests from users to have their PokerStars player profiles unblocked from view. Unfortunately we have not yet received the green light from PokerStars to be able to allow players to view their own personal profiles here on PTR. We urge all interested users who wish to be able to view their profiles and to have them update with new hands to contact the support team at PokerStars directly, as we currently do not collect PokerStars hands or allow for any viewing of Stars profiles on PTR today. Any changes to the situation regarding PokerStars players will not occur without their consent. Stay tuned to our blog for any updates on this ongoing feature discussion.

    At long last, here are the April results for the UGL leaderboards for 200NL, 400NL and 600NL:    

We are proud to introduce a new feature here on PTR that will give players more control over their profiles. PTR Link (in its beta release) allows members to take control of their PTR poker player profiles, gaining access to customization functionality, with even more awesome features and tools to come! PTR Link is open to any members who have a poker account on one of our featured networks. These include Party Poker, OnGame, iPoker, Merge, and Cake. All you have to do is visit your PTR player profile page and click on the "Link This Profile" button (you can also do this from your MyPTR page directly). You'll be given a unique set of instructions to complete (such as "sit at any NL10 table with $5.43"). Once we’ve spotted you at the table, you’ll be confirmed as the profile owner. The first customization features include the ability to add an avatar and biography as well as the power to moderate comments. The comments you make on your profile will be highlighted and will appear under your poker screen name, allowing you to engage in discussion directly with your poker fans! There are many more features in the works and we’re excited about the potential that PTR Link provides our users – things like extended customization and privacy settings. We appreciate any feedback you may have, please feel free to discuss PTR Link in the dedicated forum thread here. Read more about PTR Link here.

As many of you know, PokerStars requested that we change our poker results pages for their players. We have fully agreed to do so and are already making the changes necessary to be entirely within their terms and conditions for 3rd party websites.
