We are ironing out some known issues in the deposit/withdrawal process at the Resorts cage, but yes, you will be able to deposit both in person and online.

They recommended using other deposit options, but I've literally gotten denied by every other method other than instant echecks.
Hi Two SHAE, please PM me your UserID and I'll look into it.

Your 2nd and 3rd stacks should have been added to your chipcount.

Does anyone know if the payouts were shown on the desktop client before reg closed out?

Also not enough info in tourny lobby on mobile - said late reg still available but not how much longer.. Also seemed like it was missing other pertinent info in the tourny lobby on mobile that are standard on other sites..
Dont get me wrong the software blows away the competition especially the ability to multitable on mobile just noticed some things were lacking..
A few fixes like these + a vibration on action when on silent would be great!
Payouts on mobile aren't shown until registration is closed at the moment. I've passed on the rest of your feedback.

Regarding mobile vibrations while on silent, you should be able to achieve this by going into your iOS settings and turning notifications on for PokerStars NJ plus toggling "Vibrate on Silent" on in your iOS settings --> Sound menu. Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Dylan

I did and I had to delete a few programs such as Team Viewer and something starting with VPN. In my startup folder, I also disabled anything other than McAfee

Just curious if anyone has has issues since beta to current with depositing money? i know a few had issues with visa.

has anyone had issues with using your bank account?

...................
@psdylan

And + 1 for jakaseti on the lack of mtt info on the mobile app. seems like info like starting stack size, how long late reg lasts, blind duration, rebuy yes or no, if yes when rebuy ends and how big is the rebuy. stuff like that. would def need more info in mtt lobby for the mobile app.

and any chance 8 game gets added to the mobile app?

Last thing is i see stud mtts (esp the 15$ daily) being offered which is cool but i think changing the stud mtts to stud8 and horse/hose would probably get more runners. maybe im wrong? anyone agree/disagree?

I've talked to people who are interested in this as well.

My deposit from my checking went through fast and without a hitch.
03-21-2016 , 12:10 PM
I used the e-check deposit method. Went through no problems. Imo, it's probably the most reliable method. Just have to deal with the deposit limits.
03-21-2016 , 12:12 PM
Still no increase in cash game stakes. Pretty disappointing that NL has 5/10 and PLO only has 1/2. Would like to see at least 10/20 on each.

Also mixed games only up to 1/2 limit...

Seems like even in soft launch, you have similar traffic to the other sites, might be time to add some limits?
03-21-2016 , 12:13 PM
We need heads up cash games and full ring. You can't be market leader without offering games people want. At least send a survey out and see the games people want.

Deposit option and limits are going to keep volume at midstakes down reason I am not playing 1/2 and 2/4 cause I can't get my roll on the site.

Haven't been able to find vibrate on silent option on android

The sound not being in synch is kind of annoying. When I sit at the table, the sound is fine for a few minutes but then it gets choppy. During long play or multi tabling, the sound can be completely out of synch. Hope a new software release addresses that. Overall, I must say I am very impress with how fast Pokerstars's software is compare to their competitors.

Dylan, after someone uses the FREE50 code, can they still use the STARS600 code?
03-21-2016 , 02:15 PM
+1000 to all of that raising limit stuff

Would also be nice to have some Sunday tournaments that are not NLHE. Like a $100 PLO or HORSE

Dylan already answered this previously and I have personally emailed PS support this question. It is one or the other. You cannot use both first time deposit codes.

There's been a lot of concern after Stars greatly reduced benefits for 2016.

https://www.pokerstars.com/en/blog/c...g-161006.shtml

In response Pokerstars significantly increases rake across many games with no advance warning, including a rake increase for the highest raked games on the site (Spin + Go). Coincidentally, the game that all their advertisements are geared towards.

We got it, bro. Stars is bad. But they have the right to raise their rake at any time. We also have the right to withdraw our funds. Two way street

I can't stand the ROW cry babies. Don't play on stars if you don't want to.

We all know about your pathetic strikes and crying over only getting 30% rakeback. Boo hoo. Go to another thread.
03-21-2016 , 03:00 PM
why is there no 7-11 pay near me deposit option?

People being reasonably pissed and concerned because stars is coming closer and closer to make games unbeatable -> call them out for crying.

You are exactly what we need here. 10/10 value. What a moment to be alive. Lets appreciate being able to read something on that level in a free accessable forum.

Well we absolutely shouldn't be taking shots at them for giving their two cents. They're just trying to warn us, not rain on our parade. We as customers should be aware of who we're giving our business to.

Agreed. I was posting here due to the Stars rep participating. They've cut off all communications over the last couple of months - they're in here pretending to be the Stars you remember. They're not, they're just trying to ride the initial wave of goodwill to gain market share.

Lee Jones has lost all credibility yet he's in here with his "good to be back" friendly banter - it's all an act that unfortunately many are falling for.
03-21-2016 , 03:09 PM
Moving on. Can't wait to play some 8 game tonight.

I hear ya man, it's reasonable to be tilted by that

I haven't been clicking on many Stars threads the past several years
03-21-2016 , 03:40 PM
Stars has definitely done some shady things in their ROW offerings in terms of player benefits since Amaya has taken over so there's legitimate reasons to be concerned. That said, they are NJ's only real hope of restoring the online product via promos, rewards, and advertising so we have no choice but to put our trust in them that they will act in good faith here.
