overall i think a lot of the changes announced would be good, i'm just concerned about blanketing .com changes to small markets like nj, and want to make sure you guys are monitoring things and realize that nj is a different market.
It will quite a while before this would be considered for NJ implementation as there are still a lot of of unknowns. First it needs to be launched in Spain as a trial and then results will be analyzed before it's implemented elsewhere. On top of that, as you may be aware, the process of rolling out new software features is a bit different for NJ (requires DGE approval) and consequently they are a bit less frequent.

Regarding the '6 players needed to start', that's not a hard rule and is configurable. For example, in a 6-max game it could be set to run when 3 players have signed up, or 2, or 4.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Dylan

I don';t think you are posting this in the right thread.

You might need more than good luck.

i just realized the troll?s post got moved. Thus why my post above looks weird lol.

Dylan, I know this is the wrong thread and it's a ways off, but I noticed that pokerstars can enter Nevada April 30, 2018. Are you going to do that? Link up with nj, NV and de?

the $100k spin went off today, why was there no popup or announcement or anything? i would have loved to watch it. i'm streaming, and i'm sure that everyone would have loved to see that too. would have been great advertising. seems silly to have a huge promo with no one knowing it's even happening, not to mention that it happened on a sunday, a BIG sunday, when everyone was on

We're looking into what happened here as all of the things that you mentioned are supposed to occur. I agree it's a missed opportunity.

Thanks for raising the issue.

Neteller always accepted my CC when pokerstars didn't. It came out as a cash advice fwiw

Citi Debit Card never let me down on any NJ sites and I've deposited multiple times on each. On the flip side no credit card has worked for me yet.

Hi, can you please link me to the regular pokerstars thread support? My username on PS is YUUUUUUUIIIN and my account has been frozen. I am wondering why that is and seeking help.

pokerstars texted me immediately that funds were available.

100% match bonus on initial depo up to 600$ as well.

sweet.

How about 5card PLO at mid-high stakes? Right now only offering it up to $1/2.

Has anyone figured out how -EV it is to chase the slot bonuses?

Also, assuming I'm probably break even up to $5, maybe $10 Spin & Gos, how can I figure out my most EV play considering the following payout rates:

http://www.pokerstarsnj.com/poker/pr...=9&a5=79904007
The Following EVs:

1: 1(.80) + 2(.15) + 5(.025) + 10(.015) + 25(.01) = 1.65
2: 1(.70) + 2(.175) + 5(.075) + 10(.03) + 25(.02) = 2.25
5: 1(.5) + 2(.329) + 5(.1) + 10(.06) + 25(.01) + 200(.001) = 2.708
10: 2.5(.7) + 5(.2386) + 10(.05) + 20(.01) + 100(.001) + 500(.0004) = 3.943
25: 2.5(.7) + 5(.2236) + 10(.05) + 20(.015) + 50(.01) + 250(.001) + 1000(.0004) = 4.818

My math skills have waned in the years between Black Friday and re-legalization in NJ. I didn't think it was that easy. Thought I'd made a mistake playing the $5's instead of the $2's last night, but apparently not?

I'm not particularly interested in this casino leaderboard, but especially not if we can't even see it!

Came here to say this. Figured I'd give them a day before I raised the issue, it's been a day.

I've had this sort of thing happen before and restarting the client has fixed it for me.

Same problem here, and tbqh I don't think I've been getting coins though I haven't been paying attention. The 'Step X out of 5' increases but that is about it. I will start paying attention to confirm.

You should definitely still be earning StarsCoin when you would usually complete a Step. For a fix, try the following (if you can confirm that it fixes the issue, that'd be appreciated):

Go to 'Settings->VIP->VIP Club Progress Bar' and change from 'VIP Steps' to 'VIP Level' then click 'Apply Changes'. Then, re-select 'VIP Steps' and 'Apply Changes' once again. The problem should now be fixed.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Dylan
