It's taxed differently depending on how you file either as professional or recreational winnings reported as other income. Also wins over $5k generally come with a W-2G and taxed at 25%.

I have two as well, they clear at 25% so i'm assuming 1 in the next 4 will have it, but I'm diamond i had 2 really quickly, so who knows.

Players at the tables are mentioning it too. They're probably getting a million inquiries on it on top of the normal volume they're already swamped with...

Guess it'll be fixed in Feb?

I feel like you are drawing dead here, but in the spirit of optimism I'll say it's a one outer instead.

Good luck with it.

I got $0.20 in my Christmas chest, Is this some sort of sick joke?

For the second time I got four tickets to $1 SNGs.

I don't play particularly high, but still... $1 SNGs.

Last friday, a few tables were frozen during play and everyone was forced to leave after waiting around for 10+ mins. That money was never put back in our accounts and support has not yet responded. I think it's quite disappointing that this issue hasn't taken first priority for stars to fix.

I don't believe this is supported at this time. It should be since they have a phone app.

Just play a couple of hyper heads up 1 dollar SNG's. You should be able to burn through these in 5 minutes...lol

Pokerstars must think it is a great thing you got $0.20. They think it is a lot of money.

You got 5 times more than $0.20 so you should be 5 times as grateful lol.

I once opened a chest and it made the next chest easier to open and that was it. It is crazy how the site is sometimes.

Originally I was able to play on their site since launch day up until November 21st when I was unable to get into any tables and/or tournaments due to 'Verifying location'.

I've been trying to log on to my account for the last 27 days but it keeps saying 'Verifying location'. I tried to log in using my friend's phones and computers and still doesn't work (different wifis, locations, etc.) but when they logged into their account it worked. I mentioned this to their support team but nothing has been done to help address the issue. I'm not sure how common this problem is but it seems like I may be the only one affected.

I spoke with GeoComply, the company responsible for geolocation services for PokerStars PA and they said that PokerStars told them it was an issue with my account specifically and not a geolocation issue.

I've gone back and forth sparingly with support when they actually care to e-mail me back and go through the same scenario everytime where they ask for my log files or tell me to restart my wifi/reinstall/etc. so forth (The basic IT responses that you get for any software issue). I've tried contacting them through Twitter but no responses. I even tried to get help from Garry Gates who is a PokerStars Pro but they still didn't budge. Garry did try to help so I appreciate that!

I'm actually pretty pissed off because I was on my way to getting my bonuses unlocked, better chests, and had tickets to tournaments. I missed the PACOOP because of this but they had 0 sense of urgency to assist me.

I feel like I'm just wasting my time trying to get help from them, sending e-mails back and forth. I heard that there is a PokerStars PA rep on the site so I figure I'd send this through just to see if I could get in contact with this person.

Thanks,
Tru

I'm new on here, so hopefully i'm replying correctly. I've had this same problem for a few days now. My account was working fine. My friend can log into his device on the same wifi, instantly verifies his location. Then I'll log on my account with the same device/wifi, and it just never verfiies, so I cannot sit on tables anymore.

I've missed three days of playing now, and cannot get a reply from anyone that says anything but "the technical team will work on it. Sorry for the inconvenience"

I'm having the exact same issues. Everything worked fine until about 5 days ago, now they can't verify my location. I've tried different devices and different connections, nothing works, just seems to be my account. Makes me mad, but glad to know there are others.

same problem for me...all good until 5pm today, now hung up when trying to verify my location, both from my desktop and cell. ugh. I uninstalled the app from both cell and pc, cleared cache, made sure wifi is enabled, etc...it is absolutely an account issue, not geolocation.

You use your own residence. You don't have to live in PA, just be physically located in Pa to play. I live in NY and have an account I've played on a few times while in PA.
