PokerStars on FanDuel Goes Live With Zoom Fast-Fold Tables
The fast-fold cash game format arrives on the U.S. FanDuel skin, letting players skip idle time between hands.
PokerStars on FanDuel launched Zoom tables as of October 2026, bringing its fast-fold cash game format to players who want to skip the wait and jump straight into the next hand the moment they fold.
Why It Matters
Fast-fold formats like Zoom compress the dead time between hands, letting players see significantly more hands per hour than at standard tables — a material edge for grinders focused on volume and win-rate optimization. For recreational players, the format reduces the frustration of folding a bad hand and sitting idle while others finish the street. The PokerStars-FanDuel partnership already gave the Stars brand a foothold in regulated U.S. states; adding Zoom expands the product's competitive surface against rivals like WSOP.com and BetMGM Poker. Players should note that faster formats also mean faster losses when variance runs cold — pace yourself accordingly.
Context
PokerStars relaunched in the U.S. market through its partnership with FanDuel, using FanDuel's existing state licenses to re-enter jurisdictions where Stars had been absent since the 2011 "Black Friday" DOJ actions. Zoom is a proprietary fast-fold variant PokerStars has operated on its global dot-com site for years, so its arrival on the FanDuel skin signals the operator is now porting its full product suite stateside rather than offering a stripped-down version, according to Poker.org.
What's Next
Watch for stakes expansion — if Zoom launches at lower limits, higher-stakes Zoom tables are the logical next milestone. Player pool liquidity across the shared FanDuel states will determine whether the format sustains long-term or thins out during off-peak hours.
