Im from MD and travel to NJ every so often.

I use instant E-Checks.

As long as your account is in good standing (meaning you havent done any deposits that are funded before they actually get the money and ends up bouncing) then you account is funded instantly. The money will come out of your bank account 24-48 hours after you deposit.

You can withdrawal the same way, right to yout bank account. Requested withdrawal that way on a friday, recieved it in my acct late sunday night.

The amount i deposited was processed and approved instantly, the amount above what i deposited was processed and approved in about 30 min.

Prior to that i had never funded my acct or played at PSNJ.

I did not have to confirm my identity at any point via any documentation

I was actually able to get on and deposit via echeck from Oregon. I assume I can request a deposit out of state it just won't let you play real money games?

Probably won't play much but still pretty cool to be able to play on stars. At least I can fire up some spin and go's on mobile while at the beach or some games once everyone has gone to bed.

When Pokerstars NJ first started, I got annoyed with all the log-in emails, so I disabled them. Problem is, I no longer get any emails from Stars.

I tried to figure out how to change it back, but couldn't. Anybody know?

Thanks.

Yup you can do everything in the client except for wager money. I didnt request my withdrawal till i was back in MD. That was you can also deposit before heading to NJ so your ready to go as soon as you cross the state line

Correct, you can log-in and make a deposit or cashout while out of state but of course must physically be in New Jersey to play real money games.

On desktop, head to Settings -> Global -> Communication Preferences and tick 'yes' for Poker.

On mobile, head to More -> Settings & Tools -> scroll down to the 'General Settings' section and tap 'Communication Preferences' and select Poker.

The PA House just passed Ipoker and it looks to move swiftly thru Senate to the Gov desk. Hope PokerStars is working on a partnership.

For those who live in PA w a NJ account will we beable to just log in the PA one then and our stuff will be there?

It's premature to expect a PokerStars rep to tell you anything on this right now. Mainly because nobody knows yet if NJ & PA will share liquidity:

Even if PA/NJ DID opt in principle to share liquidity there's then the question of how it works in practise. Not easy.

Taken from the OnlinePokerReport quote:
Quote:
Will Pennsylvania share players with other markets?

This is an open question. The bill allows for such agreements, but Pennsylvania is only one side of the equation. The state would also need other markets to partner with.

Currently, Nevada and Delaware have a functioning system for sharing poker liquidity.

New Jersey has yet to join that network or propose one of its own, but NJ regulators have referred to conversations around the topic with regulators from other jurisdictions – including the UK

Dylan, any plans to get an active MTT monthly leaderboard going? Even a once a week update would be preferable to nothing.

has anyone tried sitting at a cash table and got a message of "Too many seating attempts at this table"? and you cant get seated at the table? even after an hour + passes?

it happened about a week ago when i was trying to get into an 8 game table and just happened again today at a stud 8 table.

Ive tried xing out and logging in again but i still get the message and cant join that table.

i dont remember the specifics of the first occurrence but with the most this recent one it went like this:

on mobile clicked on this stud 8 table to join but then i changed my mind and didnt sit. (you click on open seat and asks you how much you want to sit with)

about half an hour later (still on mobile) i try sitting and then remember i dont have my auto rebuy features set (on android my settings keep getting set to default for some reason) so i x out and reset my auto rebuy settings.

Then i just decided to play on desktop PC and sign out of mobile app. log on to PC and i get the "too many attempts cant sit" message.

TLDR tried sitting at a cash table 2 x on mobile (over the course of about 30min) but i clicked out before getting a seat for various reasons. Then about 5 minutes after i get off mobile app i use my desktop to sit at the table and im givin a "too many attempts to sit" message and cant join table.

so annoying seeing a decent game running and i cant get in twice now over the last week and a half.

This is something that was implemented to combat players using scripts to sit at ring games tables.

Players are only allowed to reserve a seat at a specific table twice within a six hour period without playing hands at the table. Specifically, if a player does not post a blind at the table, it will count towards their ‘failed reservation’ total. Once they have exceeded this total, they will receive a popup that says “Too many seating attempts at this table” and they will not be allowed to join.

However, in certain scenarios this rule will not apply:

1) Reservations made by Easy Seat, Find Seat (Seat Manager), or from reaching the top of a table waiting list do not count towards the ‘failed reservation’ total.
2) If all other players at the table are sitting out, or there are no other players at the table, it does not count towards the ‘failed reservation’ total.

If you think you're receiving this message when you shouldn't be, let me know and I can look into it further.

Dylan

Just got promo for full tilt play history. Wondering what everyone elses offer looks like, and if there's any correlation with what was left in account:

15k stars coins if clearing 750 vpp before 7/31

Had 29k ftpointd locked up, with $840 remaining to be cleared of a $1k purchased black card bonus (cost 240k ftpoints). Don't know how many Ironman medals.

Hi all,

I can finally share details of the promotion for eligible New Jersey players who had Full Tilt Points remaining in their account. The 'StarsCoin Reward Challenge' runs throughout July on PokerStars NJ for eligible players who will receive a Challenge to earn a target number of VPPs to unlock their StarsCoin reward. These figures are determined based on your Full Tilt history.

Note that for eligible players who had a paired account or common email address between their two accounts, the Challenge should be eligible for you now. For everyone else that's eligible, an email will be sent tomorrow to the email address registered on your Full Tilt account with full promotional details. In the email you'll be prompted to create a PokerStars NJ account (if you haven't created one already), and then send us some information so that we can assign you your personalized StarsCoin Challenge which will start later in July. Make sure to direct that information to vipclub@pokerstarsnj.com and to get them sent in by July 12 latest in order to be able to take part.

One last important note - you will only be able to see the Challenge in your Challenges window if you have completed the Real Money form and verified your PokerStars NJ account.

If you think you should be eligible but for some reason haven't received the email by the weekened, you're welcome to send me a PM and I'll look into it.

Regards,
Dylan

I need to earn 1,000 VPPs to clear 20K StarsCoins.

I usually only play tourneys, so I don't see this happening.

FTP points flushed.
06-30-2016 , 02:48 PM
I had a different email when I was on full tilt. Is it possible for me to get the bonus for my full tilt points
06-30-2016 , 03:06 PM
4,000 vpps to release 80,000 oohhhh baby. Definitely had 100's of dollars in full tilt points lost but this is quite a consolation prize.

If you contact vipclub@pokerstarsnj.com with your old email address and Full Tilt UserID we will verify your connection to the account, confirm you're eligible, and then we can add you to the promotion.

Hey Dylan,

Is there any reason why we cannot just receive the StarCoins the same way ROW players did? Seems unfair that we pretty much have to pay the same amount in rake just to receive points we already earned in the past.

Wow, just came here to post the exact same thing after reading through the ROW thread about FTP conversions. I came to the same conclusion: In my case, I have to pay Stars about $200 in rake in 30 days to get about $200 worth of StarCoins back as my "conversion." I call BS, especially after this from earlier in this thread...

The cash advance complaint makes me laugh. I mean a lot of things stars did in the last couple years was bad but not this one. Are you able to go to a live craps table and say "I want to buy these chips on my credit card and pay no interest for a month and get points".
06-30-2016 , 08:55 PM
ROW got theirs with no strings attached. We have to pay them to get points that we earned.
07-01-2016 , 03:28 AM
can we get a software fix for grimming? It is happening over and over again on fresh tables. I mean, I somewhat understand if a 6max game breaks and a multitabler hits sit out next bb without realizing he's getting an extra button. But what I'm talking about is coming to a fresh table where there has been no action, playing one hand on the button, and leaving.
