Can Dax please list what cheap AT@T prepaid Walmart/Target phones will work! I don't mind spending 30-50 bucks for one of these as long as I can get on the site.

I don't have any such list, unfortunately. I'm going to try to find time to compile a FAQ today, though, and we can probably add to that list over time.

And it tells me to email support, I did that yesterday and to no avail. Been 24hrs no reply. Hellllo I just want to play, I'm in Nevada I want to be able to reap the benefits of it

iPhone4 works just fine - there's a couple separate issues. 1) Some carriers (specifically Verizon, and apparently sometimes carriers that use Verizon cell phone towers) prevent location triangulation. 2) Some carriers are simply preventing our "automated" text messages (from UPOKER) from being delivered to your phone.

In the case of #1 or #2, you might want to call your carrier to see if they can escalate it (or fix it!) for you.

And thanks for your patience.. hardly have time to eat.. must subsist on the tears of the bad beats I'm observing at the tables..

I suspect if you talked to them they could do a stripped down version of their app with some added hack security stuff in less than months.

The issue isn't that the other apps exist, it's that we'd have to change our software to plug into these apps. Plus get Nevada to certify it, release it to the public, train our staff, etc.. It's certainly not a bad idea, it's just not as simple as downloading the app and paying the $0.99.

Thanks for your no help comment but I'm actually waiting for Dax to reply. Seems like he only answers standard questions that people should already know

it used to take 2-3 weeks, but for the last 3-4 months, they pay you right away, so I would totally disagree that ACR or BCP have the best cashout options in the U.S.

DAX, my brother and I are flying next week to play some online poker.
I see that I will have to buy a ATT phone. my question is will we have to buy one each for my brother and I or can we both use the same one if we tell them that.
Also do you think you will get a huge influx of players this weekend with the LA weekend warriors..Im hoping you have 1500-2000 players by the next 3 weeks
thanks tim

1) they wanted to get out first, and didn't want to wait until this was all worked out. This is open beta testing.

Just need to know options.

Like having a list of workable cheap-ass phones would be groovy.

I suspect Verizon will come around eventually. Maybe a week, maybe tomorrow, maybe 6 months. If you need to play right now, get a temporary.

Of course not! I suppose it could be hacked . . . not sure . . . maybe just we had a bad streak of luck. I can say that I suffer fewer beats at the free sites, and logic would suggest, the opposite would be true.

BTW: It's very difficult to secure anything that uses a Windows operating system. Honestly . . . I don't know if it's even possible. Bu don't ask me . . .ask an expert . . .their answer may surprise you!

my suggestion is to have single table double ups for $5, $10 and $20, and even a quadruple up for 36-90 players multi table. say you have a $20 quadruple up for 36 players and the final nine get $80 each or a $10 one with $40 to the final nine.
you are doing a great job. keep it up.
also I would love to see micro tournies for rooms at station hotels and buffets or shows.
its a slam dunk people will play them, and it increases foot traffic to the brick and morter, which they want.
thanks, tim

How long does it take for the site to verify a cellphone? I have a few to try and want to know how long I should give each one (phone number) to verify before trying the next one. Thanks!

Yesterday I could not get location verified because I was using my Iphone 5 as a hotspot to my laptop when trying to log in, even tho I turned off LTE it would not work.

Today I used a public wifi for my laptop and turned off LTE on phone and I got verified! Said account active in green!
On my way to stations to deposit!

This is great but hopefully In the near future I will be Able to use the same phone that they verify as a hotspot at the same time.
