You don't have to take to support. Just go into settings and click to have casino games tab removed. Then when you open chests you won't get any casino bonuses.

You can even go back into setting later if you feel like doing the casino thing or taking advantage of the daily casino promo stuff. You will not see the casino promo stuff in challenges either when you have it turned off in settings.

Moved to (the great state of) PA recently and am having a lot of trouble with geolocation after creating my account today. Have tried a ton of things, including contacting support multiple times, but my Network Status Reports still have all "Error - Status 0" codes. I connect to the client just fine, but it can't scan my computer correctly or whatever it needs to do.

Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve it?

I also recently moved to PA and am having geo issues. It seems to be randomly pinging an IP address off my old location in CA or associating my IP address with CA somehow. I just randomly get a "you're not in PA" message and get booted. anyone know how to fix IP location?

Do you live close enough to neighbors that your computer picks up their WIFI networks? I originally had geolocation issues because my PC was in my basement and wasn't picking up any wifi networks (the computer was hardwired to the internet, no wifi). Pokerstars apparently needs to be able to ping multiple wifi networks on your computer in order to triangulate your location.

What I had to do was go out and buy a wifi-extender which plugged right into a usb drive on my computer. It was able to pick up dozens of wifi networks from around my neighborhood and this solved my geolocation issues permanently. Cost about $15 on Amazon I believe.

Hopefully it's something simple like that for you. Good luck!

I use a Realtek wifi adapter like you described for internet, and also see my neighbors wifi connections. Appreciate the advice though, and others should definitely try this as wired/ethernet connections don't seem like they would work for geolocation verification (counter-intuitive to me but w/e).

I rage quit Stars for the max 5 years after they gave me a ridiculous requirement for chests, even though I wasn't winning or playing that much. I'm sure they did it because I had a big-ish win in the casino on a slot which is disgusting. Also this auto locked me out of my Sky Poker account.

Now they have changed the rakeback I see lol. Oh well GG it is!

Almost free $10 in the FoxBet Sportsbook side on their Super Boost special thing.

Bet $10 to win $10 on the Eagles scoring at least one TD on Sunday.
I know this isn't exactly big money. But I know some people don't even look at the sports side. Most of the time their Super Boost thing isn't an almost-lock like this one is.

Might as well take advantage of it and get back some of the rake that you are paying. A lot better than the whopping $0.44 I got from my 2 Frog of Fortune Spins in the Daily Casino Bonus!!

I never go to SB except for these free/nearly free bets, so I for one appreciate you sharing and giving me/us a few dollars in EV. Thanks.

So, are people that live in rural areas even able to play if their neighbor's wifi is not very close to them?

Cool. Glad it is appreciated. There had been a lot of "Super Boosts" lately that weren't really that significant. Just a little amount bit of EV that wasn't really that great. Happy to see this almost-free-money one again.

And we are in the second half and the Eagles still have not scored a touchdown. So much for the "almost guaranteed."
This is a real 10%'era or less if they don't do it.

There was a different one during the NHL playoffs a year ago where you got even money if the Flyers scored at least one goal. They were shutout. LOL. Another less than 10%'er

Chests have been live since the inception of the site. If you're referring to personal challenge chests, they have been around for a long time too and are offered ~every month or two. I think I remember reading you are new here, so this is likely just be your first time seeing them.

An error has occured.

Please restart your client.

I scrolled around this thread and saw that someone else had this error message. It didn't seem like they never found a solution and ended up buying a new laptop. I just got a new HP laptop for Xmas and am running PT4 on it while I play. I have played for around 2 hours total and have had this message pop up three times. It basically just freezes pokerstars and I have to exit out of it and then open it back up. However, when I open it up, I am no longer seated at any of the tables.

Was just curious if anyone else had ever had this issue while playing on an HP and if they had any easy resolution. Thanks for the time.
