i got that email too. sorry deleted it already earlier today. it was an email saying welcome to pokerstars casino. it did mention video poker and had a picture.

sooo much whining and complaining in this thread. they've been open less than 3 days.

lol one day offering misses Guar by 30 bucks and they pull it? hope its a mistake.

also raise rake day 2 lol.
The stud tournaments the one I hate to see go. After one day lol. Iirc. It was over the guarantee by $15.

This stuff is more an issue of nlhe dominating poker and man I wish that would change so bad. Hey Dylan, the 8 game cash game is popular, that would be an awesome tournament to add

Dylan,

Quick question that you can probably answer quicker than me email support.

Can stars send all HH (including mobile) via email if support is provided with a date range?

Thanks

8-game tournaments would be awesome, as would higher stakes cash games.

Are they for sure totally gone? Maybe they just didn't have the min # of required before start time and got canceled. I know I always late reg tournies.

Bugs/quirks:

* Right-clicking a table to change the color of the felt defaults to changing the color of ALL open tables

* The lobby should indicate if you have busted from a non-re-entry tournament

* The tournament lobby should not have a "Register" button for a non-re-entry tournament that you have already busted from

Also why is there no full ring sngs or regular cash game right now?
We've got $5/$10 Limit Holdem running pretty often. $10/$20 is available. I'd like to see $4/$8 8-game and hopefully $10/$20 as well. The $1/$2 is running strong, and I know a lot of the $5/$10 LHE players play mixed, so I'd imagine something like $4/$8 would run pretty often.

+3

I'm certainly willing to be patient with the addition of limits, but I do think the big jumps between certain limits is going to make it difficult for players to move up and down.

+1

also seems like my play money chips re-filled/lowered back to 1m after yesterday . not that i really care. but i know i didnt have exactly 1m going into today. nice to use them to play other non holdem varieties while i get my br up to play the cash games

"Right-clicking a table to change the color of the felt defaults to changing the color of ALL open tables"

There's an option to make color changes to only one table:

Settings > Gameplay > Multi-Tabling > TABLE THEME CUSTOMIZATION (at the bottom) > Check both checkboxes

earning stars coins was easier than i expected. drove up to jersey to play the other day and earned like 5000.

is the VIP store going to have a lot more items added as time goes on? right now all items are available to bronze star. I remember back in the day they had hundreds of items and a bunch of stuff for higher status.

When trying to make my first deposit, I was told my bank details cannot be verified and asked to send a W9 to confirm my SSN. Has this happened to anyone else? Did anyone else feel comfortable sending this information to Amaya?
03-22-2016 , 09:56 PM
I am pretty sure the Fifty50 lobby's display misinformation. It says "1st to 5th places will be paid $.91+$.03 per 100 chips". Everybody starts with 1500 chips so.....the same errors are in all the Fiffty50 lobbys.

Have you sent in a valid photo ID in as well?

Thank you for the response.

I have not. Support told me that just the photo ID would not be enough. My question is if anyone has had this request for a W9 from support, and if anyone has, if they went ahead and sent it.
03-23-2016 , 12:03 AM
Yeah I sent it as did everyone without their ss card immediately on hand. seemless.

Officially I feel the software sound issues is making it unplayable. I play 4 bovada tables and seals and the stars software cannibalizes the sound and then mutes my entire computer including podcasts i'm listening to etc. Ive never heard of a software that attempts to prevent me from playing on other sites by muting them.

Also, in case anyone was wondering the LIMIT rake has absolutely increased since Mar 16. It's not much higher but most was a 4.5% to 5% increase. I know all other formats increased but they specifically said in press release that limit rake would remain unchanged. incorrect. And bovadas limit rake is lower if you are making comparisons with other sites.

This is the worst customer support I have ever experienced. Over 30 hours and no contact from support on my issue.. I can not login because I was never sent the temporary password. Hello Poker Stars can you help me or not I deposited 500 and now have about 612. I need to access this money.
03-23-2016 , 12:37 AM
Hi Dylan!
There's a great Mitchell and Webb skit that sums up your current position "are we the bad guys?". Check it out! It's on YouTube

end of break warning

I would recommend using the call back option through the in client support I got a call back in an hour. 10am to 10pm is the hours.

Thanks for the advice I will try this tomorrow. Just frustrating to fire up a couple hour session and have the sound go silent on a top of line alienware pc. And I need the sound on the other tables. this allows me to know when to act and gives me that pop bump to the front sound when dealt a new hand.

I get in a grove and can play over a thousand hands on 4 bovada tables in under 3 hours and this one stars table is effing me up every time and hurting my bottom line.

Stars. Fix the sound. Pretty please. Tomorrow night will be the last time ill tolerate this. Ill just take a few month break till they fix it. i got enough action as is.

The sound issue won't be resolved for 2-3 weeks when the next update is scheduled to come out but it is top priority according to Dylan. I feel your pain my eyes are doing overtime without sound.
