[PokerStars PA]

[PokerStars PA]

Starting this thread for all things PokerStars for PA only. I guess there isn't a rep yet to monitor an official 22 thread so figured I'll throw this out there

I am happy to see explicitly legal online poker again. Being able to deposit w PayPal and withdraw with zero issues is awesome. What sucks is that the site has, as expected, not much traffic, but I'll take what I can get...

The Rewards Store seems lame. There's basically nothing there. I have no idea what the effective rakeback is if u max out value on teh #StarzCoinz, but it's pretty obvious it's not much. I haven't paid attention to the rake either, but I'm guessing it's high. Just out here stackin fools and chasin bigger #CHESTS...

I'm shocked to see the interface is actually not as good as the PokerStars that left me cold and lonely on Black Friday. How in the flying karate **** is that possible? It's 2019...dafuq? Why can't the tables dock to the corners of my screen? I have OCD I can't take this ****! But I digress...

There are quite a few things missing, inconsistencies, and that don't make sense, but I figure this would be the thread to point them out and maybe PS will take notice. Maybe eventually we'll get a rep and an official thread. Anyway, I'll post later to point out stuff I notice, like, and don't like, but just wanted to start a thread for the 7 people on 22 from PA...

May your cards be live and pots be monsters. Or something. Is that guy still alive?

Eh pretty weird that this wasn't talked about at all in this thread. I just happen to come across it accidentally. Purelegacy77 stole lots of money from me and all other regs by cheating with GTO Wizard apparently and i haven't heard anything about a refund. has anyone else?

Here's his face if you ever see him in a live game he's a known cheater



This was not shocking. A quick google of the screen name showed a history of cheating in other environments as well. Thanks for the info.


any type of mixed games or anything not nl or plo running on this site?

I've never seen any non-NLHE/PLO run at a meaningful clip. Sometimes someone will be sitting 3-6+ mixed games and I've seen some run once in a blue moon.

They have 8-game and HORSE MTTs that run but they're tiny fields

Sure, you can ask and receive a couple of answers, however, you'll gain the most information by downloading the Pokerstars PA client. Even if you don't reside in PA, by downloading the client you can see all of the games offered, watch replays, and even deposit $. The only thing you can't do is play.

Been having strange disconnection issues this week, wondering if anyone is also (or has past experience).

Here are my problems:
1) I get 2 or 3 disconnections per hour on PokerstarsPA and WSOP-PA simultaneously. Each time lasts about 1 to 5 minutes.
2) All other internet aspects continue to work fine during these times (web browsing, Ignition Poker, etc.)
2) Disconnections occur simultaneously on phone apps.
3) Pokerstars says it's not a geolocation issue and they seem as confused as I am.

I've replaced my internet modem/router but the issue still persists. Beginning to wonder if it's an issue with my internet provider (Service Electric).

Like I said, just curious if anyone is/has experience with this odd issue. Thank you.

Yes im having the same issue since Wednesday night. Also spoke with two other players with same issue and we all have SE as our ISP. I called SE and for now the rep on the phone said its not their fault. Frustrating to say the least.

One last thing. All 3 PA sites DC at the same time so its not just a Stars problem. I wonder if its geocomply issue.

Thank you Bobby, reassuring to hear it's not just me. I also wondering about geolocation issue but a Pokerstars rep said I wasn't showing any geolocation issues on their log.

I had S.E. replace my modem to no avail. Called them back and they are escalating my case to a technical specialist that will contact me sometime tomorrow. I also asked the rep if there was a chance they were flagging/blocking gambling sites and she said "I doubt it".

I'll post with any progress with their tech specialist but I'm already looking for new internet service providers haha.

Thanks for the update and I'm considering a new service as well. I'm at the end of my rope. Hopefully it gets resolved sooner than later.

Still no callback from Service Electric customer support. A tech specialist was supposed to call but never did. The disconnection problems are still persisting for me. Planning to call them again tomorrow.

You still having issue Bobby?


I saw a lot of ppl w disconnection issues over the past several days. I myself have had no issues. Verizon internet here

I wonder what PS did tho bc I also no longer have an issue where the client tells me they can't locate me when I sit at a table initially. It would notify me of that and then I'd immediately sit in again and it sits me in no problem. Weird issue that was annoying but never actually stopped me from playing


And for the love of god stop breaking up my chest rewards into random parts of coins and cash. Sooo stupid. Why waste my time making me get the cash rebate?

I am and so are the others I mentioned earlier. I have no faith this gets resolved soon so I signed up for Tmobile free trial for their 5g internet. Will likely keep SE for the rest of the house and keep Tmobile for poker.

Just an extremely frustrating situation missing 4-5 days of play adds up for me and I'm a bit jealous seeing everyone else playing like its just another day at the office. Veey bad luck for us.

That is annoying. Im sure they give coins in the hope you buy merch from the store and put the rake right back into their wallets lmao

Yep, very frustrating. Especially since both Pokerstars and Service Electric don't seem to have a clue what's going on.

T-mobile home internet was my next idea. I've been playing from my phone's hotspot but I get very weak/unreliable cell signal at my house with AT&T (but at least the sites aren't disconnecting like with Service Electric).

Thanks for the update Bobby. Good luck us.


Did Stars eliminate the daytime $50 MTT?! Haven't seen it run the last couple days

Just played first session with T Mobile. 3 hours and 0 DCs. They send you a router and you just plug it in and do a quick set up through an app and you're good to go. Only a 3 hour sample size but I'm happy with it so far.

Glad you found a workaround.

Thanks. Played 8 hours with it today and again 0 issues. I can safely recommend it now. If it's available in your area I would snap get it. I have no faith that Service Electric is going to fix this anytime soon.


Same for me the last several days the disconnections are brutal i emailed stars they said it wasn't on their end....


Does anyone know how promotions are affected by withdrawing?

For some time I did not withdraw and just kept a balance on the site in order to take advantage of reload bonuses, etc. A few months ago I withdrew a lump sum, and now I never receive promotions and don't even have an area to enter bonus codes on the deposit screen.

I get that they hate people cashing out, but I was just wondering if this is temporary or if anyone who wins money is permanently removed from any kind of the deposit promotions. It was a nice little $500 bonus every few months to grind towards.

You dont get penalized for wds. Sometimes they pick and choose when they spam bonuses. Check your emails or their twitter to stay in the loop. Pretty sure theres a reload currently using code MARCH24.
