Slightly confused

A 2+2 micro reg posted that he spotted a "United States" player on Stars (5nl) yesterday.

Does this mean Pennsylvania players are playing in the global pool??

I understand the geo restrictions on the Pennsylvania site; I'm confused as to whether, once accessed, you play in a segregated pool, or in the global pool???

Segregated. Just like on Stars in New Jersey, and just like it will be in any other state, until there's a major change in US law, or the DOJ's interpretation of it.

I assume that means he created his original account while in the US (most likely pre-Black Friday) and is playing from Canada, Mexico, or elsewhere. Just like there will be players on Stars PA from other states.

Are you on MacBook Pros? Were Stars Support able to tell you which software was causing problems?

I still couldn't get geolocation to work on my MacBack Pro last night and Support gave me the same line as on Monday -- restart and try again, check back later, and use the app in the meantime. They couldn't give me any type of info on when it may be resolved. I have little confidence it will be fixed by the full launch today.

Same here, super frustrating. I’m regretting updating the mac OS now. I was looking into trying to reinstall the last OS, seems like a huge pain though, I hope someone figures out a better way around it for people playing on Macs.

Really sucks that they can't get the GeoLocation for the MacOS software to work. But I will say I'm pretty impressed with the iOS app, especially on an iPad. Doesn't have all the features but it is simple, easy to use and works 100%. Actually makes the PC software look antiquated.

How do we know it launches at 2pm today? I can't see any notices about that on their site?

it releases in $10 increments. I played a little bit and $20 was released already directly to the cashier balance.

I'm probably missing something as I haven't tried to deposit yet, but I'm having no problem with the MacOS software at all. Is it just because I haven't deposited? Maybe because I already had a FoxBet account? Either way it seems to be working fine for me.

Am I understanding correctly that funds deposited can be used for both sports bets and poker?

I spoke too soon. After leaving the software open a while I got a popup that says they can't find me. I chatted with support who could not help. They told me to adjust my privacy settings and allow location services to work on their software, but you can't just do that on a Mac as far as I know. The application has to request access and you can allow/deny, but you just don't add it to a list. As far as I remember when installing the software it didn't ask for permission.

Has anyone been able to make a deposit with PAYPAL? I tried and was not sent to paypal to ok the request and no money showed up in my account. Tried again and got a message to wait for previous request to clear. It's been over 2 hours now.

Yes, I used PayPal and the deposit along with the signup bonus appeared within a minute on the StarsPA client.
