New Jersey Online Poker Thread - Page 397 - Internet Poker

Anyone deposit/withdraw on Pala yet? Put in for a small withdrawl but was not prompted for any verification documents like on the other sites and no update or email from them. I know it's in beta mode so I was just curious to see if I had to verify everything here too, and then wait another 7-10 days.

It's pretty bad when the ROW sites have faster cashouts than the licensed & regulated ones.

Also, anyone know how long this whole beta mode is supposed to be? Very limited traffic here

I know for a fact location services are enabled for both apps.

Thanks for any tips

If you're using a rooted phone you won't be able to play.

I looked around, sure this has been asked a million times, sorry : (

You can have an account on both wsop/888 but they can't be the same sn? I see they are merged but how "merged" ?

Same thing with party/borgata?

Borgata/Party: All games have a shared player pool.

Pala can capture huge market share if they continue to do things right and word gets around. They just need to fix the lag in their software but I understand it's still in beta so bugs and quirks are to be expected.

Anyone know when the beta is supposed to be over? All of the tables are small stakes right now and only the absolute smallest seem to run with any sort of frequency. I've had action at 1/2 once in the last two days, lol.

I posted about pala a month or so ago, but their software is really crappy. Played a tournament where all in button had a glitch that left you with 1 chip if you press all in. Also a lot of visual glitches with chips and cards. Cashout is good but the site sucks. Also their casino bonus is shady. They don't tell you the cashout requirements in the fine print like the other sites.

I couldn't use the same one to sign up, and when I had one software open it wouldn't allow the other to open. Just want to make sure i'm not missing anything.

You can have WSOP and 888 clients open at the same time, but can't register for the same tournament on both, and I assume can't sit at the same cash table on both.

I do not know about having Borgata and Party client open at the same time. I don't think I've ever tried. Their games are all pooled so there are no unique games on either.

If there is a recent thread somewhere around here, I missed it sorry.

Just moved to NJ and trying to figure out which is the best site given rakeback/deposit bonuses. As well as general traffic. I've read some website reviews but looking for more feedback.

Any value in jumping from site to site to take advantage of deposit bonuses?

Best site for non n/l ?

Thanks everyone!

A quick search would have eliminated the need for an apology (I entered "New Jersey" into the "Search this Forum" box to find this - second result).

However, after merging your thread into this one, I realized you might not be looking to play on one of the regulated sites. If not, the big sticky at the top of this forum is what you're looking for:

Stars and wsop both have pretty regular .25/.50 to 2/5 plo games at night. Borgata/party do not seem to regularly have a plo game going although occassionally one table will be popping on there. Haven't played on 888 in a while so can't speak for PLO games there.

There are some people who start 8-game 4/8 and occasionally 10/20 on stars. Beyond that, you'll probably have to start tables and battle with a reg to get other games going.

what does this mean for HUDs? if this 3 states pact means NJ loses the ability to use HUDs then this is a terrible thing not a good thing...

i can't really see NJ being allowed to use HUDS while the other 2 states can't.

good time to bump this, from https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2.../#post48278739 :

Quote:

i've said this before, and will say it again:

i dont' care what you do with huds, ban them, don't ban them, it doens't matter. but what you can NOT take away is written hand histories. Written hand histories give players a safeguard to protect themselves in the games they are playing. They give players the capability to sort through thousands of hands and pick out things that look suspicious. Whether it be cheating or botting, it is literally impossible to do this without written hand histories.

The ultimate bet cheating scandal would have NEVER been uncovered if players did not have written hand histories. More recently bot rings have been discovered and brought to site's attention (partypoker's, in fact) because players dug through databases and identified bot accounts.

Botting is a HUGE problem on international partypoker and it's only going to get much much worse now that players will not be able to help identify bots.

Bots are easily the biggest threat to the longevity of poker, and taking away written hand histories will vastly decrease the rate at which these bots are discovered and stopped.

I hope everyone reading this can understand that playing against the best human in the world who uses a hud will be nothing compared to playing against a bot who plays perfect gto poker that literally cannot be beat because no counter strategy exists.

also, let's be real, getting rid of written hand histories will NOT get rid of huds. bovada doens't supply written hand histories and huds still work there.

Getting rid of written hand histories is not a solution. It will NOT protect players, it will have the complete opposite effect and do much more harm than good.

I recently moved to Jersey... WSOP/888 networks are in all states in the compact. So that's where i plan to make my first deposit. Is there any difference in bonuses? Between wsop or 888 which site would you rather play?

WSOP Nevada seems fine in these reguards right now. The Nevada Gambling statute 465.075, that predates online gambling, forbids HUDS or bots and actually makes them a felony.

Since the ecosystem seems good right now, I doubt it would suddenly be overrun by bots if the number of players doubled.

I predict the Nevada Gaming Board will make any site in Nevada that shares players with New Jersey ban HUDS, though they might just clarify that the statute doesn't apply to HUDs online. I don't think they will be able to ban them in Nevada but allow them in New Jersey if the players are playing vs each other.
