How does a state go about blocking website access?

Great great! Found more same quotes by Pokerstars official Twitter an hour ago.

I don't know. It may have been the sites were voluntarily not making their sites available to NJ, either at the request of the state or on their own. However it occurred, it would show that it was not available to NJ.

The video below was testimony before Michigan lawmakers (not Pennsylvania) from earlier this year. The testimony is provided by GeoComply government relations liaison John Pappas (former PPA Exec. Director).

The video is very informative for those interested in geolocation technology as it relates to regulated U.S. online gambling services because GeoComply currently operates in multiple statewide jurisdictions.

If you'd like detailed timestamps of this video, I've published a full story of this elsewhere. Just Google "michigan geolocation john pappas" and the timestamps will be one of the results, plus there's a follow-up article we published featuring an interview with 2+2 member Josem, who believes GeoComply's proposed blanket restrictions on Virtual Private Networks are "overreaching."

I imagine if it happens like that the site would give players until X day to withdraw the funds; sure some sites could cut n run but a bigger site like Bovada/Ignition associated with one of the biggest sportsbook gambling operations in the world (Bodog) probably wouldn't want users knowing they stiffed an entire state worth of players' and took their funds. Could cause mass withdraw panic in other locales.

I recall hearing NJ gave Bovada/Bodog such a hard time and tried to get other locales to ban them AND coordinated with the gaming commission that regulated the site that Bovada/Bodog voluntarily gave up the gaming license from that commission to continue offering services. And they grandfathered in existing accounts based in NJ. Basically NJ was working with other jurisdictions and gaming commissions to threaten to make the site disappear everywhere if they kept offering accounts in NJ.

Will PA players be able to play on smartphones or tablets?

exciting!

No app in the App Store yet

The website is working now. I am so excited. Hope they pool players in the future for big tournament prize pools.

still kinda just a blank plage for me just graphics is all

yeah, hope 2:00 pm will go soft launch. We need to register, fill in the information, upload the avatar photo, deposit, more verifications to increase the deposit/withdrawal limit, etc. A lot of stuff to do before play at the tables.

Yeah but before you didn’t get even that. Thought the download would be soon.

https://www.starsmtairycasino.com/ has been 403 for me all morning and now it's the casino page with a pokerstars logo that is grey and just links to the "coming soon" page but that's some progress i think.

You need to clear your history and cookies and re-enter the link. It’s on now.

i did this and it worked but now its saying the download page is a missing page

Try using another browser. I opened it with internet explorer after it wasn't working with chrome.

both mozzilla and chrome dont work for me

anyone else have to submit an ID to get verified? How long will it take? I kept getting denied with the info I was inputting for some reason.

Try internet explorer. I am playing now lol.

For those who are interested, I have seen a non-affiliate promo code published by multiple sources -- offering an initial deposit bonus of $30 for PokerStars Pennsylvania players: FREE30

There is also an initial PokerStars PA deposit match offer up to $600 -- using promo code: STARS600 -- along with numerous freerolls scheduled to start later this week.
