How to Make 30 Dollars Quickly in Less than an Hour (Free), free $30.

But these are usually risky, so you have to find one that is from a reputable company and be sure to read the fine print before you agree to the terms. Some charge a plus, they add new offers all the time. So every few months I check back. The last time I did this was in august 2013 which made me $45.53..99 fee, some a few dollars, but usually the higher the registration fee the higher your payout from inboxdollars.

How to make 30 dollars quickly in less than an hour (free)!

By saeed darabi - last updated may 11, 2017 (this post may contain affiliate links.)

If you have some free time on your hands, here is a very easy way to make 30 dollars quickly online without any investment or jumping through hoops.

If you have been looking for ways to make extra money online, I am sure you are familiar with websites offering to pay you for taking surveys, reading emails and signing up for offers.

But the problem with most of these sites is that you need to complete so many surveys (although as I mentioned here there are ways to make money with survey sites without completing surveys or offers), read a ton of emails and sign up for hundreds of offers you don’t really want, just to make a few bucks.

But there are a few sites that if you play your hand right, you can take advantage of the opportunities and make some quick cash.

I am going to show you how you can earn $30 in under an hour by completing a few offers on inbox dollars. It’s pretty easy, and in some cases, even kids can do this.

By the way, if you are looking for an offline method, read my how to make 50 dollars a day post.

What is inboxdollars?

For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, inboxdollars is an online rewards program that thousands of companies use to promote their business to the site’s members. Inbox dollars pays its members for visiting these advertisers’ websites and signing up for offers, most of which are free.

Inboxdollars pays its members for visiting these advertisers’ websites and signing up for offers, most of which are free.

You get paid via check once you accumulate $30, which is quick and easy to do.

There are 2 ways I go about doing this on this site.

But before you can do any of that, you need an account. There is no charge for joining inboxdollars. In fact, you get $5 to sign up right now.

So, go sign up first, then come back to read the rest.

1. Earning through free offers

Ok, now that you have signed up, you can earn $30 in no time with inboxdollars, they have a vast range of easy offers to pick from.

For example, you can earn $2 in less than a minute by signing up with mysurvey through them, or you can opt to get a free heart healthy recipe and earn $0.25 in just a few seconds.

There are tons of free offers like that.

To make your 30 bucks all you need to do is spend 20-30 minutes or so…

Once you register, login to your account.

On the top menu bar find the “offers” tab and choose “100% free offers” in the drop down menu.

That will bring you to a new page full of free offers. To make this as quick as possible, change the setting to show offers by payout from highest to lowest.

From there simply click on offers that interest you one by one and complete them until you reach $30.

The first time I did this, it took me about 45 minutes, which $30 for 45 minutes is not bad all.

The only problem is that once you complete an offer, you can not do it again. So, you can’t go in and make 30 dollars every day. But thankfully they have lots of free offers (I would think their free offers alone would total around $1000 or so, but I m not sure). So you can do this a few times.

Plus, they add new offers all the time. So every few months I check back. The last time I did this was in august 2013 which made me $45.53.

2. A quicker way to earn $30

If you don’t have an extra 45 minutes or so, or just want a faster way to get that 30 bucks, you can use the free trial offers. But these are usually risky, so you have to find one that is from a reputable company and be sure to read the fine print before you agree to the terms.

I did a few offers with no problem. The best ones are the club offers, like american cellars wine club which pays $20, or the cooking essentials which pays $6.

As you can see, with these offers you only have to do a few to reach 30 bucks.

You can do more to make $100, $200… and more.

Here is how it works:

You do have to pay to sign up with book clubs.

Some charge a $0.99 fee, some a few dollars, but usually the higher the registration fee the higher your payout from inboxdollars.

For example, with the disney movie club offer you can get 4 movies for $1.99 each, plus free shipping.

Once your transaction is complete inboxdollars will give you $20.

So, you get twenty bucks, plus 4 movies for around 8 bucks. Now, imagine if you were going to buy those 4 movies anyway, how sweet that would be.

Now, the best part of such offers is that if you change your mind and no longer want to be a part of the club, you just write “cancel – return to sender” on the package you receive from them and send it back to them.

You are assured of a full refund, and you still get to keep the $20 they gave you for signing up.

Sites like inboxdollars are especially great for online shopping.

Whenever I am going to buy anything online, I check with them to see if they have the offer. If they do, I’ll go through them.

I mean, I don’t pay anything extra. I get the same product/service, the only difference is I earn a few extra dollars.

If you are interested, register with inboxdollars through their sign-up page, and you’ll be on your way to making a quick $30 or more.

How to get windows 10 for free (or under $30)

You can get windows 10 for free or at least cheap.

You can spend thousands of dollars on components when building a PC, but it won’t boot without an operating system (OS). Linux is a viable option, but most people prefer windows because it runs all of their favorite software, including the latest games. And for those who were still holding on, windows 7 has officially reached its end of life, meaning it won't get any more support or security updates. Fortunately, you can get windows 10 for free or cheap, if you know where to look.

Getting hold of the windows installer is as easy as visiting support.Microsoft.Com. Whether you've paid for windows 10 already or not, microsoft lets anyone download a windows 10 ISO file and burn it to a DVD, or create installation media on a USB drive for free. Once that's done, you can boot from your installation media and load windows 10 onto your PC. During the installation process, microsoft asks for an activation key. You can skip it, but eventually, windows will start alerting you that your install isn't activated.

There are many ways to get a windows 10 activation / product key, and they range in price from completely free to $309 (£339, $340 AU), depending on which flavor of windows 10 you want. You can of course buy a key from microsoft online, but there are other websites selling windows 10 keys for less. There’s also the option of downloading windows 10 without a key and never activating the OS. But what, if anything, are you missing out if you don’t activate windows 10? And does your carefully crafted rig face any risks?

Below we outline the top ways you can get windows 10 -- from the cheapest to most expensive -- and the downsides of each option.

Upgrade from windows 7 or 8	don't activate windows	student discount	buy a cheap key from a third party	buy a key from microsoft
price	free	free	free (windows 10 education)	about $30 (£11, $40 AU)	home: $139 (£119.99 / AU$225); pro: $199.99 (£219.99 / AU$339); workstation: $309 (£339 / AU$525)
pros	access to all personalization options; microsoft support access; free	free	access to all personalization options; microsoft support access; equivalent to windows 10 enterprise; free	access to all personalization options; microsoft support access	access to all personalization options; microsoft support access; refunds
cons	there’s a small chance microsoft will reject activation, and you’ll have to contact support	desktop watermark; personalization options restricted; can't use microsoft support	you have to be enrolled in an eligible school	there's a chance your key won't work, and you'll have to contact support to get it fixed; some third parties have bad customer service; some third parties don't offer refunds	expensive

Upgrade from windows 7 or 8 to windows 10: free

Nothing’s cheaper than free. If you’re looking for windows 10 home, or even windows 10 pro, it’s possible to get windows 10 for free onto your PC. If you already have a windows 7, 8 or 8.1 a software/product key, you can upgrade to windows 10 for free. You activate it by using the key from one of those older oses. But note that a key can only be used on one PC at a time, so if you use that key for a new PC build, any other PC running that key is out of luck.

To do this with a windows 10 compatible PC (after backing up your important data, of course) download windows 10. When asked, select "upgrade this PC now." note that if you've recently changed your PC's hardware, such as the motherboard, windows may not find the license for you device. That means you'll have to reactive the OS. Here are microsoft's instructions for reactivating windows 10 after changing PC hardware.

Downsides of upgrading from windows 7 or 8

When using an older windows key to activate windows 10, you may run into complications if microsoft isn't sure whether you're eligible to update or not. In that case, you’d have to call a number and go through a process of entering your key and getting a code. But that seems to be happening less in recent months and years.

Don't activate windows: free

If you don't have a valid key, you can still use windows 10 for free on your PC even if you don’t activate the OS. I have colleagues who have used non-activated versions of windows for years without microsoft ever shutting it down. In this way, you can have windows 10 home or pro running on your PC nearly flawlessly. Nearly.

Downsides of not activating windows

“if the user [installs windows 10] before activating windows, they will see an ‘activate windows’ watermark on their desktop, as well an experience a limit on windows 10 personalization options,” microsoft told tom’s hardware in a statement.

Microsoft brands pcs running an unactivated version of windows 10 with a watermark in the bottom-right corner of the screen. A microsoft spokesperson told me that activating windows 10 ensures you have a legitimate copy of windows 10, and the watermark is an attempt to alert consumers that their version could be false. However, if you downloaded your ISO directly from microsoft, there's no way your copy can be a fake.

If you don’t activate windows 10, you won’t be able to change personalization options in the settings menu. That means you can't choose personal desktop wallpapers, slideshow backgrounds, start, taskbar, action center or title bar colors, light or dark color schemes, font choices or lock screen options.

The lack of custom aesthetics can be a downer, especially if you like to liven things up by changing colors and images. However, we checked, and you can still change your wallpaper if you right-click an image from the web or a personal photo and set it as your wallpaper. And if you have a wallpaper tied to your microsoft account, it will appear if you sign into windows with that account.

Unsurprisingly, microsoft won't offer you any windows 10 technical support if you don’t activate the OS. If you call or chat with their techs, they'll start off by asking you for your key, and you’ll have no response.

Use the microsoft student discount: free

Microsoft offers students attending certain universities and high schools the ability to get windows 10 for free by allowing them to activate windows 10 education for free. Meanwhile, teachers can get windows 10 education for $14.99. You can see if your school is eligible and download your free windows 10 key here. The key is yours even after you graduate.

But is windows 10 education any different from windows 10 home? It’s actually better. Windows 10 education is the same as windows 10 enterprise, which microsoft calls the most robust version of windows 10. The OS has features targeting security, device control and management and deployment that windows 10 home lacks. Unlike windows 10 home, windows 10 education has client and host remote desktop and remote app i(nstead of client only), hyper-V (microsoft’s hypervisor) and extra apps, like applocker and bitlocker. Although, it’s likely you won’t ever use any of those bonus features.

If you’re not currently a student but happen to have a .Edu email, we don’t recommend scamming the system. In addition to ethical concerns, if you get caught, microsoft can make you pay up anyway. “false representations of eligibility voids this offer, and microsoft reserves the right to collect the full price of product(s) ordered,” microsoft’s policy states.

Downsides of using the microsoft student discount

If your school is eligible for the discount, there isn’t really a downside to this method of procuring windows 10 free. Not all colleges / high schools have it, and you may need to make a special user account to download it. But if you can score windows 10 education for free, we don’t see any reason not to.

Buy a cheap windows 10 key from a third-party seller: around $30

If you can’t stand living with the scarlet letter of an eternal watermark or want the comfort of knowing microsoft won’t disown your PC’s OS should you call for help, you’ll have to buy a windows 10 key. And while some turn to microsoft for this purchase, there are third-party websites selling keys for much cheaper than microsoft.

For example, at the time of writing, kinguin sells windows 10 home for about $30, amazon charges $129.99, and newegg's pushing it for $109.99. Even walmart has it for $104.99, as well as a pro OEM version. According to wccftech, you can also buy windows 10 from keysoff, which is currently selling windows 10 home for $16.32 and windows 10 professional for $7.45.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room. While we can't vouch for all of them, websites selling lower-priced windows keys are likely selling legitimate codes. One popular site, kinguin, has 37 merchants worldwide selling windows keys. Mark jordan, kinguin’s VP of communications, told me that their merchants acquire the codes from wholesalers who have surplus copies of windows they don't need.

"it's not a gray market. It would be like buying adidas or puma or nike from a discounter, from TJ maxx," jordan said. "there are no legal issues with buying it from us. It's just another marketplace."

According to jordan, kinguin's merchants have sold “several hundred thousand” keys and are not one-time sellers posting listings for codes they don’t want. As part of its fraud protection, a kinguin employee randomly buys a key “every now and then” to make sure they’re legitimate, he said. Jordan added that it’s rare for a customer to get a key that’s been resold, but if they did, customer support would help them get a new one for free.

“if there's ever a problem with a key being already activated or something like that, our customer support team helps you get a new key… and that merchant would be in deep trouble, so they are very careful with it,” jordan said.

However, we've encountered reports of customer dissatisfaction, including from users who wanted a specific type of key (like non-OEM only), ended up with something different (like an OEM version) and could only get a refund, rather than the type of key they originally tried to buy. We've also heard reports of slow customer service. Kinguin hasn't responded to requests for comment.

You'll have to enter a key to activate windows, but you won’t have a problem doing that if you bought your key from a place like kinguin (or amazon, newegg, etc.). In fact, microsoft still offers 24/7 technical support online and via phone even if you got your windows 10 key from somewhere other than microsoft.

If you do opt to get your key for less, make sure it’s from a legitimate site. A hint will be if that key is too cheap -- i.E. Free or close to free. And, as with anything else, if you haven't heard of a seller, check their ratings or go elsewhere.

No matter where you get your product key, you shouldn't download windows 10 from anyone besides microsoft. As noted on microsoft’s website: “when buying microsoft software as a digital download, we recommend that you avoid auction sites and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing sites. At the moment there are a limited number of sites where you can legally purchase digital downloads of microsoft software.”

“genuine windows is published by microsoft, properly licensed and supported by microsoft or a trusted partner. Non-genuine software results in a higher risk of malware, fraud, public exposure of your personal information and a higher risk for poor performance or feature malfunctions,” microsoft added in a statement to tom's hardware.

Downsides of cheap keys

These non-microsoft websites have varying return policies for software key purchases. While kinguin seems to have an open return policy, we've seen reports of the service being too slow or the company insisting on replacing the key instead of refunding it or vice versa.

Amazon and newegg both have no-refund policies for software keys. Amazon claims all keys sold on its site are genuine, and any gripes you have with your key must be handled by the individual vendors. If a key you bought from newegg doesn’t work, you'll have to contact newegg’s product support team to get a new key.

Still, most, if not all, sites seem willing to accommodate you should you get a key that’s already been used or doesn’t work. Again, just make sure you’re buying your key from a legitimate source. For that reason we don’t recommend buying windows 10 keys from individual sellers (or illegally).

This final downside is only applicable if you want to equip your PC with windows 10 pro for workstations. While I was able to find windows 10 home on a number of genuine key-selling websites and windows 10 pro on some (although fewer) websites, I couldn’t find a place to download a key for windows 10 pro for workstations anywhere besides microsoft (amazon sells it to ship for $293.83). The most advanced and pricey ($309) member of the windows 10 clan, windows 10 pro for workstations offers “support for the next generation of PC hardware, up to four cpus and 6TB of memory,” according to microsoft’s website. But it’s unlikely you’ll need the juggernaut of windows 10 for your personal machine.

Buy a windows key from microsoft: $139+

Want a version of windows 10 where you can enjoy dynamic slideshows on your home screen and vibrant red, green, pink, or purple taskbars? Do you enjoy the thrills of a watermark-free screen and the comfort of knowing you can call microsoft support if you have any problems? Then you need a key, which, as discussed, you can get from various retailers. But if you want to avoid any chance of getting an unusable key or want the guaranteed ability to get a full refund even if there’s no problem with the key, your best bet is buying from microsoft.

In addition to selling keys for windows 10 home and pro, microsoft is the only place you can get a key for windows 10 pro for workstations. Additionally, microsoft offers the assure software support plan for an extra $99 (£95/ AU$120). This plan is valid for a year after activating windows 10. It’s applicable for up to five devices and entitles you to online and phone support and one-on-one in-store training. One caveat: microsoft says the plan is “for purchase and activation only in the region in which it was acquired.”

Downsides of buying from microsoft

Microsoft charges the most for windows 10 keys. Windows 10 home goes for $139 (£119.99 / AU$225), while pro is $199.99 (£219.99 /AU$339). Despite these high prices, you’re still getting the same OS as if you bought it from somewhere cheaper, and it’s still only usable for one PC.

Plus, the premium price doesn’t entitle you to any support perks. Microsoft’s 24/7 basic phone and online support is available to anyone with a windows 10 key, even those who didn't get it from microsoft. After already investing time and money building a PC , it can be difficult to convince yourself to spend over $100 for an OS that you can get with the same specs and support for cheaper.

What's the best way to get windows 10?

If you have an old windows key you can get windows 10 free by carrying that key over from a previous build -- that's your best option.

If you don't have a key on hand, you need to decide whether you're comfortable using an unactivated version of windows 10, which limits your customization options, has an ugly watermark and leaves you ineligible for microsoft support. Many would argue that downloading windows without paying for or already owning a product key is ethically wrong. That said, microsoft has made this process easier over various windows iterations and lessened the limitations and nagging that happens when you don't activate. The company isn't trying to close this loophole, probably because it’s more interested in driving user numbers. I've even seen well-known vendors and microsoft partners do press presentations with watermarks on their desktop.

If you must buy a windows 10 key, you can save a lot with a low-cost seller such as kinguin, although customer service will likely be lacking and isn't the best option if you only want a very specific type of windows 10. Still, microsoft's price is astronomically high. You can save $100 or more by buying a key from one of these third-party sites, which is money you can spend on one of the best graphics cards, a roomier SSD, or a few AAA games for your new PC.

Save $30 on this cyberpunk 2077 deal and get a free steelbook case at best buy

Save money on cyberpunk 2077

This cyberpunk 2077 deal from best buy sees the game drop down to just $29.99 on both PS4 and xbox one. You also get a free steelbook case worth $19.99 to sweeten the deal. The game is also on sale at amazon for the same price of only $29.99, but without the steelbook case.

It's not often a game gets such a heavy discount so soon after release, but it's not that surprising given cyberpunk 2077's rocky launch on base consoles. While the game reviewed favorably on PC, consumers have encountered a litany of issues when playing on PS4 and xbox one, to the point where the game was pulled from the playstation store.

It's important to highlight, then, that cyberpunk 2077 has a number of bugs and performance issues that might spoil your enjoyment, so bear that in mind before you buy. However, if you're prepared to look past those, or simply want to pick up the game and wait until things improve, this is a great opportunity to save.

Both the PS4 and xbox one versions are included as part of the deal, and both copies will get a free upgrade for PS5 and xbox series X/S during the second half of 2021.

Cyberpunk 2077 deals:

Cyberpunk 2077 PS4: $59.99 $29.99 at best buy

Pokerstars now serving US online poker

Pokerstars is legal and regulated in three US states, with a land-based casino partner in each:

Pokerstars NJ

New jersey was the first state outside of nevada to legalize online poker, rolling out its regulated industry in late 2013. Pokerstars, however, faced its fair share of hurdles as it worked to enter the market.

A more-detailed timeline is below, but suffice it to say the company overcame significant regulatory challenges — including a change of ownership, a failed casino purchase, and a partnership with resorts atlantic city — before finally opening its virtual tables in march 2016.

The long-awaited launch of pokerstars NJ signaled the company’s reentry into the US market as a whole.

Pokerstars PA

Pennsylvania legalized online poker as part of a broader gambling expansion in 2017, and the stars group set about securing a partner in the keystone state. The wheels turned slowly for the next 18 months, but the supreme court decision that overturned the federal sports betting ban in may 2018 reignited the fire.

Shortly thereafter, TSG announced a deal with mount airy that grants it market access across all gambling verticals. Its new fox bet platform was among the first wave of PA online sportsbooks to launch in 2019. The company subsequently rolled out its poker room and fox bet casino in november that same year.

Pokerstars PA entered the soft-launch period for testing on monday, november 4, 2019 and fully launched two days later. It was the only online poker room in pennsylvania right up until 2021.

Pokerstars MI

Michigan became the third state with a regulated pokerstars site on january 29, 2021. Like in pennsylvania, stars was the first regulated online poker operator to launch in michigan.

Pokerstars is partnered in michigan with the odawa casino resort, which is run by the little traverse bay bands of odawa indians. The same partnership is behind the stars online casino and sister site foxbet sportsbook, both of which launched the same day as the poker room.

Pokerstars US: an overview

These days, pokerstars is a dominant force in the global online poker market. It offers, by far, the best platform and game variety, and the biggest tournament prize pools. It might not be the ATM for pro players that it once was, but lucrative opportunities still abound.

Each of pokerstars sites in the US is limited to players from within that state, so you can expect to see player counts in the hundred instead of the 10,000 or more you might find on the global site. In the future we expect that same of these player pools may be combined, but you should still find plenty of action at most times now. While some of the less popular game types may only run during peak hours, though, which are be evenings and weekends, you should be able to find no limit hold ‘em and omaha games running any time.

Cash games

Pokerstars is arguably the leader for online cash games, offering more variety than the competition in the US. In addition to no-limit hold’em, players will often find tables for other poker variants such as omaha and stud.

You can find traffic data for pokerstars cash games on pokerscout.

Sit & go

Spin & gos have killed the sit & go market abroad, and it’s doing the same in the US.

The only sng format that runs on occasion is heads-up. Otherwise, it’s pretty rare to see six-max go off with any regularity, outside of primetime hours.

The exception is pennsylvania, where spin & gos don’t run so sit & gos are still the king of this format.

Spin & go

It’s impossible to tell with certainty how many spin & gos run per hour, but it’s way more than a few.

The shorthanded hyper-turbo format is ideally suited for closed liquidity markets, especially ones where many players are either new to online poker or took a forced multi-year hiatus. And that’s forgetting about the slot machine aspect of the format, which is a huge draw in about every market.

The popularity of spin & gos compelled pokerstars to focus much of its marketing muscle on the format, prompting expansion beyond the $10 buy-in launch cap.

Multi-table tournaments

Although pokerstars launched with a significantly toned-down version of its daily and weekend multi-table tournaments (MTT) schedule, it’s still more robust than what’s found among the competition.

In addition to a full slate of daily and weekly events, pokerstars also runs seasonal poker festivals every year — both in the US and in the rest of the world.

Popular entries including the new jersey championship of online poker, the pennsylvania championship of online poker the michigan championship of online poker, the winter series, the summer series, the bounty builder series, and one-off big events like pennsylmania (an infrequent single tournament that saw a prize pool of over half a million dollars on its first go, with only a $200 buy-in).

Pokerstars software

There are few words that adequately sing the praises of the pokerstars client. Stellar, all-inclusive, and unmatched come to mind.

From the masterfully designed tabular interface, players can readily access their preferred game format and vital information. Take, for instance, the cash-game lobby, where clicking on a table grants players access to useful stats such as player names and statuses, stack sizes, average pot size and hands per hour.

With one additional click, players can join the waitlist (full tables only) or select their seat.

Individual tournament lobbies are equally user-friendly and information-rich. They pack in everything from blind and payout structures to “fun” features such as chip graphs and table stats.

But all this pales in comparison to the actual gameplay experience. The design and programming teams at pokerstars successfully managed to strike a delicate balance between aesthetic beauty and high-level customization, all without ever sacrificing performance.

From hand histories to table info, player notes, layouts and advanced rebuy settings, individual tables sport every feature a player could ever dream of. All these features are neatly tucked away in creatively designed menus so that they never interfere with the poker playing experience. If this weren’t enough, there are even more in-depth customization tools can be found from the “settings” sidebar.

Cash outs at pokerstars

At present, players can deposit and withdraw via:

Instant e-checks

Mastercard or visa

7-eleven paynearme

Pokerstars instant online banking transfer

Neteller

Skrill

Cash at the resorts cage

Pokerstars play+ card

Paypal

All withdrawals up to the amount deposited are first credited back to the deposit method used, so long as that deposit method is eligible for withdrawals.

Pokerstars FAQ

Below are answers to commonly asked questions about pokerstars return to the US online poker market.

Is pokerstars legal in the US?

Pokerstars is licensed to offer online poker in michigan ,new jersey and pennsylvania.

Can US players compete against global pokerstars players?

Pokerstars in the US is completely separate from the global pokerstars.Com player pool and for now only against players in their same time..

There is, however, a mechanism by which the three states could share liquidity via the multi-state internet gaming alliance.

Is pokerstars coming back to the rest of the US?

That’s certainly the company’s intention, but the reality is that it will be quite some time before any significant part of the united states offers regulated online poker. And, once that does happen, individual states will have to agree to link up players, which is far from a guarantee.

So it’s entirely possible that pokerstars’ US room could actually be a collection of independent poker rooms — some serving only a single state, some serving multiple states under the MSIGA.

West virginia is the most likely candidate to come online soon.

Is pokerstars coming to nevada?

Nevada gaming regulations deem covered assets that operated interactive gaming in the united states after december 31, 2006, unsuitable for a license within five years of february 21, 2013.

For those asking about stars future in NV, there is tainted asset clause that keeps PS out. Search "covered asset" http://t.Co/l7g4ybpbi5

— john mehaffey (@john_mehaffey) october 1, 2015

We’ll watch to see if pokerstars attempts to get in nevada’s good graces anytime soon, but there doesn’t seem to be anything in progress here currently.

Will pokerstars allow international player pooling?

Opinions vary, but the general consensus is that an international compact linking pokerstars US to the operator’s ROW pool is still a long ways off.

Do I have to be a resident to play at pokerstars?

No. The way that regulated online gambling works in new jersey, pennsylvania and michigan is that anyone who is within the state borders can play.

Online casinos and poker sites utilize geolocation technology that constantly verifies the location of a customer. Once you approach the borders of the state, you’ll lose the ability to play.

So, you don’t need to be a resident. You just need to be in the state of NJ or PA (and 21 or older) in order to play at pokerstars or any other regulated online poker site.

Can I use my pokerstars NJ account in PA or MI?

No. Given that the two sites are not linked to each other, customers need to create a unique account for the platform that serves the state they’re in.

You can create a pokerstars account and access the cashier from anywhere in the US, but gameplay is restricted to those in legalized states.

Didn’t NJ regulators reject pokerstars?

New jersey regulators paused pokerstars’ application in december of 2013, citing concerns about management’s outstanding issues with the doj.

Those regulatory concerns were addressed when pokerstars was sold to amaya, a publicly-traded canadian gaming company already licensed to do business in the NJ regulated online gambling market (and in a number of other jurisdictions, both domestically and internationally) and the executives in question exited the company.

In october 2015, the new jersey department of gaming enforcement released its report on the investigation into the suitability of amaya for offering online gambling in the state.

The report is available here. The transactional waiver order is available here.

A closer look at the DGE investigation of pokerstars

The report itself is 89 pages. You can read the full investigation here.

The result of the investigation was already known, as amaya announced that it had received approval to operate online poker and online gambling via pokerstars and full tilt last week.

The suitability appears to hinge largely on the fact that amaya had purchased and is now operating pokerstars, and that it had distanced itself from the old ownership. The report notes that pokerstars and full tilt “conducted significant internet gaming in the united states after the federal government made such gaming illegal.” more from the investigation:

As a result of the civil sanctions against the pokerstars entities and criminal sanctions against their former executives associated with the companies that formerly owned these assets, the licensure of any entity associated with these assets required careful regulatory scrutiny by the division. Simply put, these assets were associated with unlawful and criminal activity; absent a compelling demonstration that the owners, management, and practices associated with that activity have been purged, licensure of companies presently associated with those assets would be inconsistent with the new jersey licensure standards.

Findings from the investigation:

That investigation leads the division to conclude that amaya has demonstrated its suitability for a transactional waiver order. While the pokerstars entities operated in violation of the law between 2006 and 2011, a number of considerations – including the severe criminal and civil sanctions imposed by the federal government, the complete and irrevocable separation of the previous owners and almost all of the former executives, the acquisition of the assets by amaya and their incorporation into a robust compliance and control environment, as well as significant changes in the internet gaming market since 2011– lead to a finding of suitability.

Much of the beginning of the investigation details amaya’s purchase of pokerstars’ parent company, as well as pokerstars’ history — including operations leading up to and including black friday and its attempts to enter the new jersey market.

The report mentions the investigation of the “autorité des marchés financiers” in quebec that looked into activity around trading of amaya’s stock after the company acquired pokerstars. The report offers nothing in the way of new information:

As of july 1, 2015, the AMF investigation has not resulted in any proceedings and no charges have been filed. Amaya management has issued several public statements stating that the company is confident that at the end of the investigation the AMF will come to the same conclusion as amaya: that if there were violations of canadian securities laws, they were not committed by amaya, its officers or directors.

The division will continue to monitor the AMF investigation.

Conditions of approval

As one of the conditions of granting amaya approval, four employees apparently must be terminated:

After careful review of all the evidence and the application of those facts to the postuigea suitability standard discussed above, the division determined that four senior executives who remain with an amaya subsidiary after the acquisition are not able to establish their good character, honesty and integrity as required by the act because they were involved in the management or control of companies that violated UIGEA, or had responsibilities related to payment processing, providing legal advice, marketing, compliance, audit or operations at those companies. Consequently, each of those individuals must be separated from any employment relationship with amaya and its subsidiaries if transactional waivers are to be issued.

From the report

Based upon the lack of material derogatory information revealed during the division’s investigation and the strength of the integrated compliance plan, the division concludes that amaya and amaya holdings (IOM) have established the requisite good character, honesty, and integrity required for qualification as a qualifier of a CSIE.

The NJDGE “reviewed over 45,000 pages of documents relating to pokerstars’ business activities and operations.”

Deloitte LLC, amaya’s public auditor, went over the company’s 2014 records with the NJDGE.

The investigation of amaya parent amaya holdings covered 2008 through 2014.

There were “71 sworn interviews of 63 former pokerstars, fulltilt, and pyr employees who remain employed by amaya.”

Pokerstars generated $44.3mm revenue in new jersey from oct. 2006 until black friday in 2011.

Pokerstars returned $5mm to NJ players post-black friday. About $427k remains unclaimed.

As of black friday, there were approximately 75,000 accounts belonging to residents of new jersey on full tilt. The number of pokerstars accounts appears to be redacted.

The report cites amaya’s decision to withdraw “from 34 “grey markets” where the pokerstars entities previously operated internet gaming where it was not expressly authorized” as a reason in support of granting a license.

The order giving amaya the green light

Of interest to some is that former full tilt executive howard lederer is not included on this list.
