Anyone can sign up and play (provided they're in NJ) during the soft launch, but they will cap the logins to 500 people during this dry run period.

Not pre-selected. There is a CAP of 500 players* playing at any given moment on the tables for the first few days during the soft launch phase [this cap is to ease the testing of servers & player validation/geolocation I suppose]

Download the software when it becomes available in 2 hours & you can register & deposit - no CAP on depositors only on number of players.

NOTES
[1] * I'm unsure if the 500 number is the number of screen names or number of seats available
[2] I've assumed you're over 21, have an SSN, a US postal address & are located within the borders of NJ

>>> [1] * I'm unsure if the 500 number is the number of screen names or number of seats available

It's the number of seats available at any one time

I'm so pumped for when you guys eventually announce NJCOOP!

I know things won't be like it use to be or how it is now for the ROW, but I gotta tell you I am beyond excited for this. Literally thinking of taking off work tonight.

It definitely is, I'm trying not to get to pumped, don't want to be let down :-/

Plus I don't win anymore, so I shouldn't be excited for another way to lose money
03-16-2016 , 03:23 PM
Home early from work and excited for this. Hopefully, bugs to a minimum

As long as you can watch live games from the lobby without signing in, I don't see why not.

just noticed pokerstars sells play money chips now, lol. $1.99 buys you 350k in play chips. The itch is real.

Source? I do not want to go off topic but just out of plain curiousity. Also will the 500 persons online max out and cause Pokerstars to crash today?
03-16-2016 , 03:40 PM
Wondering the same thing. Dylan -- will there be a download link to the new software on pokerstarsnj.com at 4 PM EST?
03-16-2016 , 03:43 PM
Patiently waiting

my host at taj called me to let me know this was happening...Icahn put all improvements on hold until the court ruling as to cutting benefits to union workers...
03-16-2016 , 03:46 PM
Me too. I can barely work!!!!

Hard to say considering that (I believe) we don't even know the actual details of the other bonus. Beyond the fact that it's for a lower percentage and "easier" to clear.
