Hi, welcome to cardschat. Ask your questions and I am sure you will find many people here providing helpful answers.
pokerstars NJ was the first attempt by pokerstars to get back in to the USA market after the 2011 clampdown by US regulatory authorities on worldwide online
poker sites.
The legal loophole is that although it carries the pokerstars branding it is actually a separate subsidiary regulated by
New Jersey authorities and limited to
real money Play only within itself, so only players located in NJ.
There are some other countries isolated in the same way with their own local pokerstars subsidiary.
The rest of the world still gets to compete against worldwide player pools.
You should however still have access to the Home Games where you can still participate in play money games with the international pokerstars players.
If you continue using cardschat, which of course we hope you do, then you will find that occasionally cardschat creates special events in home games where you can compete against the whole cardschat community in play money games, but cardschat provides prizes like hoodies and exclusive cardschat merchandise, which are fun events for all members.
