Yeah without a doubt. It goes UCasino, then a little further down is WSOP.com then info drops off completely and it's just dead silence from all the other operators. It's really odd. Maybe some operators are keeping the soft play period under wraps doing quiet rollouts to avoid bad press for tech issues?

just emailed ucasino. they said no mac client yet but hope to have one soon. not sure if that means one is in the works or they're still speculating

Here is info located on the NJ DGE site. Golden Nugget did not make the cut. It also shows the websites authorized. A lot more than expected IMHO.

Hey all --

I'm a producer with WHYY Radio in Philadelphia. We'd love to talk with somebody who's taking part in the soft launch tonight. If you are and want to talk, email me at jhernandez@whyy.org.

Thanks,
Joe

no e-mails for me yet! I hope I get something, I've been waiting for this for a while

Confirmed, I received the same. I'm looking forward to this.

Has anybody tried going to 7-11 and asking the clerk how the deposits will work? I assume that we can do that today?

Someone please post as soon as you know of HUD use and if it is mac compatible

Agreed...ultimate poker wins customer service award thus far. I'm a big UFC fan too, if they can maintain any type of decent traffic, they'll be one of my regular sites.

Can't wait to play tonight.

888poker will be live soon for PC and Mac in New Jersey. Stay tuned for more to come from us.

My game plan now is Bonus Whore then we'll see

What are your bonus programs and will hand histories be available for use?

Will you have Mac software at open tonight?

Assuming that the software is the same/similar to what each company is currently providing to the rest of the world, is there a consensus on who has the best?

judging from his post that's exactly what he meant

What is Ultimate Poker exactly and what does it have to do with UFC? I love UFC.

It's a poker site is owned by the Fertitta brothers, I believe they are partnered with the Taj for NJ online gaming. They own the Stations casino in Vegas. The Fertita's also own Zuffa/UFC. I'm sure they'll have tournaments to win UFC packages throughout the year.

They were the first site up and running in Nevada.

Wow, cool! I just did a google search and I found a sign-up available to the site. You get "Founding member" status which gives you special offers on UFC items. That might be worthwhile. I don't want a cheap t-shirt or DVD or anything though, although I'd still take it. I'd like tickets or free access to a PPV or something. I should probably sign-up now regardless.

Thanks for response

I totally should've signed up for the soft launch!

Anyone think signing up and playing during the soft launch will effect your chances of getting rakeback? Will there even be rakeback?

Why not get with the Mod and setup a Sub-thread above?

That way individuals can direct questions concerning your site.

Thanks.

Anyone else extremely skeptical of this actually happening in 2 hours?

Am I mistaken, I thought 888 was WSOP.com which already has a sub-forum?

No doubt about it. Soft launchers will not get an opportunity for rakeback. They are giving people $5 for the soft launch with no stipulations though. Other offers may have a lot more terms or may not offer much more.

I don't think there will be a rakeback but just a bonus to get people to start playing.
