I’ve read through most of the issues in this thread before joining and playing about 10k hands in the past week. I’ve had zero issues and am very satisfied so far with the site. It’s early for legalized online poker in PA (and the US for that matter). Obviously, the PokerStars PA site is not their main focus right now for their business. It’s unfortunate that so many of you are having issues with the site, but it’s only going to get better as the player pool increases and hopefully involves other states. Cheers.

Anyone having trouble with withdrawal? I keep getting the message
"We cannot process your request at the moment. An unexpected error occurred while processing your request"

This happened for me with the echecks 4-5x then I relaunched, changed the amount by a few dollars, and it went right through.

It happens to me sometimes, if I close cashier and try again it eventually goes through.

It's the best software I have played on, probably ever. I have had 0 geolocation issues. My last PayPal withdrawal showed up instantly in my account. People just like to complain.

i play from there, no problems

geolocation software is very advanced -- in terms of the physical location pinpoint

you could play driving on the ben franklin bridge up to the moment it becomes nj

I just moved from Delaware to Pennsylvania and I can tell you WSOP is soft as it gets up to about 50nl. I played some 100nl but not enough to give an experienced opinion but from my few times playing on random tables with no deliberate selection the games weren't ridiculously tough. On the weekends you'll find recs at all stakes just like you would a brick and mortar.

How high does the requirement for unlocking a black chest go? Mine just went up from 30k to 57k

The chest algorithm is nuts. My first 2 diamond chests were a little more than 11k points each to unlock, now the third one is over 23k points. I assume there's no upper limit on a black one.

came here to post about this.

my last two were 30k and 30,400 or so. This one is 51k! Same level.

It is actually 57k

Any views on upper limits to winrate and volume at 100-500NL? Monthly take $?

I'd like to imagine one could do 5.0 ptbbs at +70k/hands/month volume (leaning on legal PA, supplement table selection with the 4 global sites)

Contemplating quitting my job but mannnn it'd be crazy.

My black chests now cost 57,450. There are guys on row stars (according to the 2p2 thread) paying over 300k for a chest. If you are a winning reg then expect them to just keeping going up until your effective rakeback is basically nothing (like 3% or less). It sucks.

Just opened my 3rd black chest and now the next one went up to 57,450. Hopefully someone new will enter the market quickly. I'd imagine Stars will have the softest games after the other sites open since they push regs away, but with how much we pay in rake I doubt it would be worth putting in significant volume here.

I just downloaded the pokerstars software onto my macbook pro (mid 2009 13 inch, using os x el capitan). When I first opened the program and went into the settings to change the table theme and felt color there was a whole bunch of different options. For the felt color I was able to pick any color imaginable from a color wheel. I saved a few of colors I was going to use while playing. It also gave me the option to choose from a whole bunch of different table themes.

After messing around with the different options I closed the program and reopened it about 30 mins later and all of a sudden all of the different table theme and felt color options are gone. I now only have about 9 different stock felt colors to choose from and like 4 different table themes. Not sure what happened to all the other options. It also seems like the sounds; chips, cards being delt and bet/fold noises have changed as well (not sure about that though). I tried deleting the software and re-downloading it but its still the same.

Im curious, does everyone have about 9 different felt colors to choose from or can you pick any color you want? Anyone know how I can get all those options back? Thanks.

Disable the Aurora graphics... I had the same problem, drove me crazy until i figured it out.

Does HUD work on PA i can track hh but my hud won't load on the tables

This^^^^^^

Oh, and can anyone tell me anything about how to use Skrill to deposit on this site. PokerStars PA can’t tell me because I’ve already sent them 6 messages over the course of 5 weeks and no response.

guys i think you fail to realize that even ROW pokerstars doesn't respond to emails for 4-6 weeks. it's abysmal. i personally waited 2 months for my account to be reinstated after they asked me for documents again

Anyone know which of the sites not running yet will have the lowest rake/ high rakeback? Also which would be the best for heads up cash?

I am also in the camp where all of a sudden, that past Friday, I am unable to be geo-located. I've been able to connect fine since launch. Support says there is nothing I can do, they are aware of it, and are working on the issue, but cannot provide any kind of timeline when it will be resolved.

They've told me my account has not been frozen. I am able to be geo-located by all the other sports books/apps for PA. When on mobile, I turn off my wifi and am connecting through Verizon Wireless, I still cannot be geolocated on Stars/FoxBet.

Doesn't make sense. Anyone know how long I'm looking at waiting or there's probably no way you can know. I'm just going to bug the **** out of their support on a daily basis.

Pretty sure the highest tier rb% in NJ is around 30-32% for wsop (888) and borgata (party). Stars has the worst rakeback system as they throttle down winning and high volume players to a mere fraction of that.

When wsop first launched in NJ they offered 80% rakeback for 4 full months as a promo, which would be sick. I would shift all of my volume away from Stars if they came in with something like that right off the bat.

Thanks bro. Good info.

My black chest just went from 30475 points to 57450, Is there a way to make it go down?

Is it gonna go up again?

Looks like if you're a winning player you get punished :/

2100 players online now. Pretty impressive and most I've personally seen there.

WSOP also has a reload bonus about every month which clears at 20% and Borgata used to have an extra program based on how much you rake every month, idk if they still have it or if you included that.

Only thing better about Stars is that they rake 1c per 20c and the other sites take 1c at 18c.

Yeah, Stars sucks. Don't know if it goes down, when another site opens I am going to fall back down to Diamond and see if that helps anything. I've considered opening a table of 2nl or whatever the lowest stake is an VPIPing every hand, no idea if that will help anything.
