The buy-ins range from $25 to $1,000, and each tournament features its own guaranteed prize pool.
Anyone with a PokerStars New Jersey account in good standing and playing within the State of New Jersey can enter. You can buy in directly to any event and there will be cash and StarsCoin satellites for most of the events.
You can buy in to the satellites or the events with cash or T$. You can also purchase tickets for a selection of the tournaments with your StarsCoin via the VIP Store.
In most cases, for subsequent seats after the first one you win, your account will be credited with T$ equal to the buy-in plus the fee of the target event. In some cases, where the satellite is awarding tickets, each win will earn you a ticket no matter how many times you win.
In most cases, yes. If you win a seat to a PokerStars NJCOOP event and then unregister from it, your account will be credited with T$ equal to the buy-in, plus the fee of that event. Unregistration will be available from the tournament lobby up until two minutes before the start of each event.
There are some satellites which do not permit unregistration from the target tournament. These satellites will provide a warning message upon registration. If you register for such a satellite and win a seat, you are committed to playing in the target tournament.
Note that this registration option applies to event seats won via satellite. Event tickets awarded via promotional tournaments must be used in that event or forfeited, as they have no value outside of the tournament to which they grant admission. If you have already been awarded a ticket for a particular event, please do not play more promotional events which award the same ticket, since if you win, the additional ticket will have no value. If you have won a promotional ticket for an event, you may continue to play cash or StarsCoin satellites, and if you win you will be awarded T$ for the value of the seat. Event tickets are not transferrable.
T$ can be used to register into any of our online tournaments, and most of our live events. See the About Tournaments page to find out more. To check your T$ balance at any time, visit the USD section of the Cashier window in the client lobby.
Each event has a minimum guaranteed prize pool, and the event champion will receive a large portion of the event’s prize pool (the largest, depending on any deals reached at the Final Table).
For the PokerStars NJCOOP events themselves, yes, and we will be there to facilitate them. All final tables will be hosted by a senior member of our Support team. Please note that any deal will have to leave a portion of the prize pool out of the deal to be awarded to the winner. The minimum amount to be left aside will be specified in the tournament lobby. For more details about deals, please see our poker tournament rules.
No. The intent of the satellites is to produce seats into PokerStars NJCOOP events and not just to distribute T$ to players. Therefore, we are prohibiting final table deals during the satellites. Play to win!
