LOL yeah blame it on russians and not on PS! Are you insane???

My PIN wouldnt work despite me entering it correctly several times. WHAT IS THIS.

SnG Lobby still empty. Can we get an update from a Pokerstars representative seeing as the restart does not seem to have solved the problem.

TYVM

Sigh wtf Stars, left it when the tournaments said they would restart manually but turns out there was an error message hidden behind my tables so I was sitting out until I clicked K and relogged in, cheers!

I just want to play poker, why is this so hard? My life is falling apart right in front of my eyes.

Take a day off and chill imo....

lol.. the irony is I moved my roll from FTP to Stars just hours before todays issues.

Still confident though.

Some of us have been around for many years, when sites were down for a long periods of time due to cyber attacks.

Here's a snippet from http://www.scmagazine.com.au/News/25...om-threat.aspx story discussing this:

"According to the BBC, a wave of DoS ransom demands was carried out in 2004 against online betting companies prior to the Cheltenham Festival, when thousands of people bet on the horse racing. Fifteen bookmakers were reported to have been offline, with Full Tilt Poker going offline for approximately 48 hours and four companies even admitting to receiving extortion demands prior to the attacks."

I'm not saying this is for sure why, as I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm speculating.

These are things that are known and/or well documented:

- In the past, online sites have been targets of Cyber attacks by Russian hackers looking to get paid a ransom to cease those cyber attacks.

- Pokerstars lost a significant amount of it's income stream on 4/15.

- They've had two major outages now since 4/15.


It's not that far of a stretch, then, to think that if Pokerstars was actually paying a "ransom" to not get hacked that, post Black Friday, they would cut off those payments as a way to cut expenses. These two major outages within a short period of time are very anomalous in comparison to their site stability over the past few years.

You should see how scared my kids look.
No stars, no KFC.

Can someone from stars please give us an update and while they're at it, turn my doomswitch off. I'm sick of my AA getting cracked by 55.

No break in mtts?

Wow at no break. ffs stars, you serious?

good advice...You seem like a great guy

An explanation would be nice, come on stars.

+1

Apologies for the inconvenience caused as a result of the issues earlier today. After the emergency restart, necessary due to problems on the server end, games are back to normal now.

Next time - can the software automatically close itself or say it needs to be closed and relogged in, I naively thought it would do that automatically

And can the 55 min break definitely remain, some of us play other sites and rely on that break

Will we be getting a double VPP day?
