They can verify positioning as long as you’re getting a signal by utilizing the gps on your phone.

I just went back and forth with support for a couple of days[lol at the script tech's, it's really embarrassing], but I ended up figuring out the problem myself. I guess a program was blocking something on my WiFi and the way I ended up fixing it was switching from a 5G WiFi connection to a 2.4G connection.

I'm only able to play on my mobile phone. When I try on my laptop connected to the same wifi connection as my phone it never works. Strange and annoying as I would love to play more than 4 tables atva time. Every once in a while I'll get kicked off playing on mobile. Nevermore infuriating than this past Sunday after I satellite into the Sunday 100k, after the first break I was hit with the location problem and couldn't reconnect for 40 minutes. I blinded down to 15 bigs and shoved AKo with around 8 bigs and busted. Super disappointed as I was really excited to play a 100k as I don't get to play big mtts like that very often and I feel like I got really screwed over. Oh well it wasn't meant to be for me. Seems like it never is.

When my laptop would pick up only two networks, I would turn on the hotspot feature on my phone. This would pop up a third network visible and allow me to play. I wasn’t connecting to it, so the data usage was very minimal, but you just need it to show another network nearby.

The other option is a hi-gain wireless network card. It seems to have worked for others and might work for you. I’d buy from amazon and return that if it doesn’t work. Gl

I started playing PS PA like 4 months ago. For what ever reason i cannot open chests at home. I have to leave my house with my cell and turn off wifi for it to open. Its a pain in the ass anyone have any ideas?

I am now getting a lot of casino/foxbet popups and bonuses when never happening since turning off the casino related preferences. Has this change happened to anyone else?

I emailed support and self excluded from the casino. Not because I didn't trust myself but because I thought the casino bonuses were stupid and very spam like.

I wouldn't put myself on any exclusion list at all tbh. I know a guy who self-excluded from a shithole casino through the PGC 10 years ago for only a year and he isn't allowed to play on PA stars. I just set my casino limits to $0 and mark the option of 24hour delay if i want to change it. Good for almost guaranteeing no blackout drunk online casino disasters.

Pokerstars PA has some of the sickest rivers ive ever seen man, **** gets me annihilated on a daily basis.

I like the Allegheny river

Do leaderboards not work by the way? Clicking on it in the client and i see a pop up but its not populated with anything

They haven't worked from the beginning.

I have a question about the first deposit bonus and withdrawals.

I am playing through my deposit bonus grinding .25/.50 and I've unlocked $280/$600. I won a little bit of cash in a MTT the other night and I'd like to cash that out but wanted to make sure initiating a withdrawal wouldn't affect my bonus. I know there are some restrictions around withdrawals and claiming a deposit bonus so wanted to make sure I don't screw anything up.

Thanks!

Nevermind, got my answer from stars. No problem withdrawaling funds and keeping the deposit bonus.

Anyone know who the pros are yet?

I winthdrew funds at the 1st of June, and it still haven't processed. Both support@starsaccount.com and support@starsaccount.eu are not answering my mails. Nor the messages I send through the client itself. What is going on?
I used to get answers within minutes, now it's been over a month!

I've got every withdrawal within 2 days using the bankwire option. Try the live chat?

Live chat? I haven't seen that in a long time. Pressing "Contact us" directs you to a form in which I have sent maybe 3-4 messages. No response

Yeah, I know I used live chat a month ago or so about a really little thing. But I can't remember exactly where I accessed it and I don't see it now. The Live Chat was very helpful and quick when I used it. If i had another problem there is a good chance i would come here before going to their "we probably won't respond" contact us form.

The “Live Chat” is now replaced by “Contact Us”

For the 50% off Sunday tournament promo, does that mean that for every $50 in the prize pool, stars counts that as $100, or does it just mean that the buyins are reduced by 50% but the guarantees remain the same?

IOW, unless there is an overlay, is it just a normal tournament?

Every time I use the 'Contact Us' option it re-directs me to a contact form and not a live chat, is there another way to access live chat?

I was wondering what they meant by that too. I figured they were just keeping the same guarantee while lowering the entry...because they expected entries to probably hit the guarantee anyway with no overlay due to the holiday weekend.
Pretty unexciting promo if you ask me. But maybe the overlay was more significant than I was guessing....in which case...Not Bad!!

Interesting that $50 entry isn't listed as 46+4 or anything like that. I couldn't immediately find the tourney take on the buyin. No idea how many points you get.
Was it previously a 93+7 that is now a 43+7? That would be quite the rip off. I doubt they did that but they aren't really clear.

Not that I’m aware of. The only option was through the client

Damn, ok thanks for letting me know.
