Been playing PAstars for a while. I like that there is another option although so far my experience has been really poor with the software. I know we are still in the testing phase.

1. Main screen takes over entire screen and won't vary in size.
2. Tried to sit at a table, won't let me sit--having issues with verifying location but haven't had any issues at stars.
3. No one at the tables yet.
4. To download software is weird, it sends you back to Betmgm website and you need to open up the installer.

I was able to play last night after some initial issues, client crashed in the middle of my first session and couldn’t get back on for about 2 hours. Once I was back on was able to play in a few MTTs, all of which had significant overlays, probably because most people could not log in. So the overlays were nice, however I did notice that I was given no credit towards clearing my $600 deposit bonus for the tourneys that I played. It appears this bonus will be tough to fully clear in the allotted time unless you’re a grinder putting in a lot of time. I played a little 1/2NL as well and my rake from this game did go towards clearing my bonus, though after close to an hour of play had only cleared about 1% of the total bonus. The actual structure of the tourneys was pretty decent, with larger starting stacks then stars and a little more room to play without just pushing/folding. Hopefully things are a little better today, but if not maybe we will get some nice overlays again at least.

Anyone know if you can create accounts on both Borgata and BetMGM? Assuming you can and it's like WPN (can have accounts on multiple skins, just can't be logged into both at the same time) ?

I'm pretty sure your assumptions are correct.

Anyone having this issue? I was able to make an account and deposit via the website. But when I try to log-in on the PC poker client nothing happens.

Take it back now it randomly works

It was this way in New Jersey. Could have different username on Party/Borgata/Mgm. Would be surprised if it's any different but haven't tried.

ALright, I can watch games. I think I may wait on the bonus. There is only 1 game of 50NL and 1 game of 25NL, there are 3 games of 200 NL but I normally don't play that high. I want to be able to clear the bonus in a month and if there aren't any games it isn't happening.

Anyone else notice they’re not giving you points towards clearing your bonus when playing MTTs. Is this because there’s been overlays for each MTT or just an issue on their end?

"Due to gaming regulations you must be in PA to play our games."

Geosync issues trying to test it out. Anyone else?

You can join a waitlist for a certain game/stake, not a specific table.

Just downloaded and looking at the lobby. Man, this cash-game traffic is just brutal. I know it's early and we can hope more people sign up. But right now it just doesn't seem realistic to clear a deposit bonus in the 28-day window much less getting anything reasonable in the grind.
NL200 - One table, 7 players
NL100 - One table, 5 players
NL50 - One table, 4 players
NL25 - Two tables.

Penny/Microstakes NL10 ($0.05/$0.10), NL4 ($0.02/$0.04) and NL2 all have zero tables running.

If you like higher stakes PLO then you're okay. One table with 4 players NL2500 and another at NL1000. Interesting.

Speaking of The Grind, I think it is 5.5 IRP per $1 of contributed rake. So 100,000 IRP would be $18k contributed rake (which is impossible right now at NLHE with the low traffic) which is good for a $2500 prize or about 13.7% rakeback. I guess that's on top of whatever value the points themselves have. But it certainly isn't blowing me away. Maybe it gets a bit better in a few weeks. Not sure if this compares to how Stars was when it started in PA or NJ. I was definitely hoping for this to be better...but it is still pretty early I guess.

Yup. Understood. Fingers crossed.
I'm checking out Party-NJ right now just to see.
5 tables of NL100 6max.1 table each of NL200 6max and NL500 6max.
So I guess that's something and it still pretty early in the day.

Will be interesting to see where this goes on PArty-PA and how much better the traffic eventually gets.
In the very least, the Party arrival seems to have pushed Stars a bit in the incentive/motivation category at least for now. Hope it can keep up AND we can get slightly better rakeback/rewards out of this. "The Grind" on MGM doesn't seem like that big a deal though. Was hoping that would be better than 13%. Oh well

So BetMGM and Borgata are two completely different sites correct? Bc when I open them both, there are different tables running...

I was under the impression that they were two different versions(skins) of the same site.

Are you sure didn't download a NJ version for one of them? I also thought they should be the same...at least in the cash tables. Not sure about MTT.

Some big questions to be answered:

- Are HUDs allowed? If so, how do you classify/setup MGM or Borgata on PT4 so it knows it operates through PartyPoker US Network?

- Is there a table cap?

- Can you create different usernames on both platforms and/or be logged in on both at the same time? If so, how do the sites prevent one player from having two usernames on the same table?

- What has been the highest amount of concurrently running 200NL 6max tables thus far?

1 stack of mine will be punted for each question satisfactorily answered : )

Huds are fine. Got my hm3 running easy. I'm sure pt is similar.

Not sure on table cap there haven't been more than a few running so far. Software seems similar to Michigan so if it's capped there prob is here too. Nj is uncapped.

You can create username on each. They check ip to prevent playing at same table. Also it's under your real name too with your ssn. Cheat at your own risk.

Usually 1-2 200nl. I saw 3-4 200nl at some point. Some 500 and 1k have ran too. Still very early goings.

No need to punt extra. U do it a lot already <3
