After a successful "soft launch" over the weekend, PokerStars have finally, after five long years, taken their first steps back into the newly regulated US online poker market by officially opening their New Jersey site for business.
Earlier today Amaya announced in a press release that they had received “technical approval” from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to operate the site statewide.
Amaya's CEO David Baazov states “We could not be more proud to bring PokerStars to New Jersey. Working with our partner, Resorts Casino Hotel, we look forward to providing the most exciting, innovative and secure gaming experience to New Jersey.”
Morris Bailey, owner of Resorts Casino Hotel, PokerStars land-based casino partner, had this to say, “This is a great day for online gaming, for state players and residents and for Atlantic City. Resorts has worked diligently to build a home for globally renowned brands in New Jersey and, with the addition of PokerStars, is proud to introduce yet another respected partner.”
Players who previously held a PokerStars real-money or play-money account will all be eligible for a welcome offer based on their play history. Historic players will also be eligible to receive their last held VIP status, Play Money Chips, and StarsCoin (formerly known as frequent player points or FPP’s). This offer is only available, however, until the end of May. New player accounts set up on PokerStarsNJ.com can get a first deposit bonus and, if they sign up within the first week, a ticket to a $25k freeroll.
According to Pokerscout.com, Pokerstarnj.com has already reached 24 hour peak ring game traffic of 304 players, instantly catapulting ahead of the more established Borgata/Party sites 272, and is already only marginally behind WSOP/888's 360.
