For regulatory and security reasons, if we are unable to verify any of your registration details online, you will be requested to upload verification documents instead so our team can verify your account manually.

  • What is account verification?

    Due to state regulations, we are required to verify the details of anyone who opens an account with us, including their name, DOB, SSN, and address.

Responsible Gaming

  • How do you calculate my wagering?

    We calculate how much you’ve wagered using ‘net spend’ (the difference between wins and losses). If your day/week/month net spend exceeds your requested wagering limit, you will not be able to play for the rest of the day/week/month.

  • What are wagering limits?

    With wagering limits, you can control how much money you spend (wager) per day/week/month. Once a limit has been set, you will receive a warning whenever you attempt to go over that limit.

  • If I remove or decrease a session time limit. Will it apply immediately?

    For decreases or removal of session limits, the following applies:

    • Any decrease to a daily session time limit will only be implemented and become effective after 1:00am ET following your request.
    • Any decrease to a weekly session time limit will only be implemented after 1:00am ET on the Monday following your request. As such the limit is set or reset according to the calendar week which begins on Monday at 1:00am ET.
    • Any decrease to a monthly session time limit will only be implemented and become effective at 1:00am ET on the first day of the following month.
  • What are cool-off periods and self-exclusion?

    If you have developed a gambling problem or think you may be at risk, there are options to temporarily suspend your account or self-exclude from gambling. You can suspend your account for any period from 72 hours up to one month with a ‘cool-off period’ (to do this go to My Account>Responsible Gaming). You can request to voluntarily exclude access to your online account for a period of 6 months to 5 years by signing up for the New Jersey Casino Gambling Self-Exclusion program.

    Please note that if you choose to self-exclude you will be restricted from accessing all online gambling facilities in New Jersey. For more information, visit our Responsible Gaming page. If you would like to close your account, please contact Customer Support.

    A deposit limit lets you budget and keep control of how much you add to your player account. Daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits, or a combination of the three, are available. Simply make your choice of limit amount and confirm.

If you believe you, or someone you know, might have a gambling problem, you can visit our Responsible Gaming page for help and further information.

  • What are session time limits?

    This feature allows you to set limits on the length of time you can spend gambling per day, week, or month. You can set your time limit from a minimum of 1 minute up to the maximum number of minutes in a month. The timer starts when you log in and stops once you have logged out.

Geolocation

  • Can I finish the game I’m playing even if I travel to another state?

    No. As soon as it’s identified that you’re in a state other than New Jersey your games will be terminated. Unfinished casino games (with the exception of live casino games) will be saved, and you can resume them when you return to New Jersey.

  • What is the plugin I’m being asked to install?

    The plugin is a piece of software that verifies you’re located in New Jersey. To be able to play real money games you must have the plugin installed.

  • I’m in New Jersey, but my device says I’m outside the state. What can I do?

    If this happens it may be because there is an issue locating you using your Wi-Fi. Check that your Wi-Fi is turned on and that a signal is being picked up. Your device must have Wi-Fi for geolocation to work. For more details, visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • What is geolocation?

    We use geolocation to ensure that anyone playing on the PlayStar website or mobile application is located within New Jersey state, as required by regulations. By triangulating your Wi-Fi signal and IP address, we can establish your location. If you’re inside the borders of New Jersey but find you’re unable to play, please visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • Can I deposit and withdraw even if I’m not in New Jersey?

    Yes. You can deposit and withdraw funds when you are outside New Jersey.

  • Why is geolocation not working?

    While you can access your account from anywhere, to play games or place bets you must be physically located in the state of New Jersey. If you’re having problems, it might be the case that you’re in New Jersey but in a remote area or near the state border and there aren't sufficient cell towers or Wi-Fi signals to identify your location. For more details, visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • What if I’m in New Jersey but my computer IP address places me in a different state?

    Most IP addresses will automatically update on a regular basis, but if you have an address that doesn’t and is associated with another state, you will have to contact your Internet Service Provider to have it changed. For more details, visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • Can I play outside of New Jersey?

    You can’t make bets or play games while outside of New Jersey, although you can deposit and withdraw funds.

  • Do I need to be connected to Wi-Fi to be geolocated?

    You do not have to be connected to a wireless network, but you do need to have Wi-Fi enabled and be connected to the Internet or have cellular service. If you’re playing on your mobile, your Location Services must be turned on.

  • Can I use the Wi-Fi hotspot on my cell phone to connect to another device and play that way?

    Using your Wi-Fi hotspot will likely cause the geolocation checks to fail due to it being a weaker network connection. For this reason, we don’t recommend using it when you play.

Banking

  • Why am I unable to withdraw my entire PlayStar balance?

    It may be because you’re taking part in a PlayStar bonus promotion and you have not yet met the wagering or other requirements necessary to withdraw the funds. See our Standard Promotional Terms & Conditions regarding withdrawals for further information. If you’re having problems withdrawing for any other reason, please contact Customer Support.

  • What is Cash Locked to Bonus Funds?

    Your deposit funds are usually available instantly. If the money hasn’t appeared in your account and you haven’t received an email indicating why this is, please contact Customer Support for assistance.

  • Why was my deposit declined?

    The most common reason is insufficient funds, although sometimes a credit/debit card will be declined because the card issuer has a policy of preventing payments to certain industries like gaming. Please also check that your billing address matches the information we have on file and that the CVV is correct. For more help, please contact Customer Support.

    New Jersey online gaming regulations require us to verify the identity and age of our customers. This is to ensure that our players are who they say they are and are of legal gambling age.

  • Can I complete the verification process if my account is suspended?

    Yes. You will still be able to log in to your account and submit any documents we have requested. Your account will then be reopened once approved.

  • What documents can I use for my account verification?

    Scans of the following can be uploaded to verify your identity and address:

    • Your government-issued Photo ID such as passport (photo page only), driver’s license, state non-driver ID card, or permanent US Resident Card
    • Your SSN card
    • Utility bill – i.e. water, gas, electricity (issued in the last 3 months)
    • Bank, credit card, or savings account statement (issued in the last 3 months)
  • Can I make a deposit if I’m not verified?

    No. To deposit you must first have completed the verification process. Once you’re verified, you can enjoy all your account benefits, such as depositing, playing, and withdrawing.

  • I’m having trouble verifying my account. What should I do?

    Sometimes it will be the case that the online verification process fails, or we just need more information from you. Whatever the reason, if you’re struggling to get your account verified, please contact Customer Support who will assist you.

Responsible Gaming

  • Do I have a gambling problem?

    Compulsive gambling is an addiction, similar to alcohol or drugs. People with a gambling problem are unable to control their impulse to gamble, and this can cause harm to themselves and those they love. If you believe you, or someone you know, might have a gambling problem, you can visit our Responsible Gaming page for help and further information.

  • What are session time limits?

    This feature allows you to set limits on the length of time you can spend gambling per day, week, or month. You can set your time limit from a minimum of 1 minute up to the maximum number of minutes in a month. The timer starts when you log in and stops once you have logged out. Session time limits applied at Jackie Casino also apply to PlayStar.

  • What are cool-off periods and self-exclusion?

    If you have developed a gambling problem or think you may be at risk, there are options to temporarily suspend your account or self-exclude from gambling. You can suspend your account for any period from 72 hours up to one month with a ‘cool-off period’ (to do this go to My Account>Responsible Gaming). A cool off period will also apply to PlayStar. You can request to voluntarily exclude access to your online account for a period of 6 months to 5 years by signing up for the New Jersey Casino Gambling Self-Exclusion program. Please note that if you choose to self-exclude you will be restricted from accessing all online gambling facilities in New Jersey. For more information, visit our Responsible Gaming page. If you would like to close your account, please contact Customer Support.

  • How do you calculate my wagering?

    We calculate how much you’ve wagered using ‘net spend’ (the difference between wins and losses). If your day/week/month net spend exceeds your requested wagering limit, you will not be able to play for the rest of the day/week/month. The limit you apply will also apply at PlayStar. For example, if you set a $200 wagering limit per week, you would be able to wager $200 at Jackie Casino or $200 at PlayStar or a combination of both in a given week. You would not be able to wager more than $200 at Jackie Casino and PlayStar combined.

  • If I increase or cancel my wagering limit, will it apply immediately?

    For increases or removal of wagering limits, the following applies:

    • Any increase to a daily wagering limit will only be implemented and become effective after 1:00am ET following your request.

    With wagering limits, you can control how much money you spend (wager) per day/week/month. Once a limit has been set, you will receive a warning whenever you attempt to go over that limit. Wagering limits applied at Jackie Casino also apply to PlayStar.

  • What if I am playing when I reach my session time limit?

    You will be able to finish the current hand or spin you are playing, after which access to the games will be blocked for the rest of the day/week/month. The limit you apply will also apply at PlayStar. For example, if you set a 60 minute limit per day, you would be able to play for 60 minutes at Jackie Casino or 60 minutes at PlayStar or a combination of both in a given day. You would not be able to play for more than 60 minutes at Jackie Casino and PlayStar combined.

  • What are deposit limits?

    A deposit limit lets you budget and keep control of how much you add to your player account. Daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits, or a combination of the three, are available. Simply make your choice of limit amount and confirm. Deposit limits applied at Jackie Casino also apply to PlayStar. For example, if you set a $500 deposit limit per week, you would be able to deposit $500 at Jackie Casino or $500 at PlayStar or a combination of both in a given week. You would not be able to deposit more than $500 at Jackie Casino and PlayStar combined.

Geolocation

  • I’m in New Jersey, but my device says I’m outside the state. What can I do?

    If this happens it may be because there is an issue locating you using your Wi-Fi. Check that your Wi-Fi is turned on and that a signal is being picked up. Your device must have Wi-Fi for geolocation to work. For more details, visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • Can I finish the game I’m playing even if I travel to another state?

    No. As soon as it’s identified that you’re in a state other than New Jersey your games will be terminated. Unfinished casino games (with the exception of live casino games) will be saved, and you can resume them when you return to New Jersey.

  • What is the plugin I’m being asked to install?

    The plugin is a piece of software that verifies you’re located in New Jersey. To be able to play real money games you must have the plugin installed.

  • Can I deposit and withdraw even if I’m not in New Jersey?

    Yes. You can deposit and withdraw funds when you are outside New Jersey.

  • What is geolocation?

    We use geolocation to ensure that anyone playing on the Jackie Casino website or mobile application is located within New Jersey state, as required by regulations. By triangulating your Wi-Fi signal and IP address, we can establish your location. If you’re inside the borders of New Jersey but find you’re unable to play, please visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • Do I need to be connected to Wi-Fi to be geolocated?

    You do not have to be connected to a wireless network, but you do need to have Wi-Fi enabled and be connected to the Internet or have cellular service. If you’re playing on your mobile, your Location Services must be turned on.

  • Can I use the Wi-Fi hotspot on my cell phone to connect to another device and play that way?

    Using your Wi-Fi hotspot will likely cause the geolocation checks to fail due to it being a weaker network connection. For this reason, we don’t recommend using it when you play.

  • What if I’m in New Jersey but my computer IP address places me in a different state?

    Most IP addresses will automatically update on a regular basis, but if you have an address that doesn’t and is associated with another state, you will have to contact your Internet Service Provider to have it changed. For more details, visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • Why is geolocation not working?

    While you can access your account from anywhere, to play games or place bets you must be physically located in the state of New Jersey. If you’re having problems, it might be the case that you’re in New Jersey but in a remote area or near the state border and there aren't sufficient cell towers or Wi-Fi signals to identify your location. For more details, visit our Geolocation Help Page.

  • Can I play outside of New Jersey?

    You can’t make bets or play games while outside of New Jersey, although you can deposit and withdraw funds.

Banking

  • Why was my deposit declined?

    The most common reason is insufficient funds, although sometimes a credit/debit card will be declined because the card issuer has a policy of preventing payments to certain industries like gaming. Please also check that your billing address matches the information we have on file and that the CVV is correct. For more help, please contact Customer Support.

  • What deposit methods do you accept?

    You can use a variety of payment methods to make deposits to your account, including credit and debit cards, PayPal, Play+, VIP Preferred, or by depositing directly at the Cage at our land-based partner, Ocean Casino Resort.

  • When I withdraw winnings for the first time, why do you need a copy of my ID?

    Regulations require that you upload a copy of an official photo ID when you request your first payout. This is to ensure that you’re of legal gambling age and are the person authorized to make the withdrawal. Please make sure the size of each document does not exceed 5 MB.
