PokerStars New Jersey is an American world brand reservation for players from New Jersey.

The global version of the poker room was ousted from the American market on Black Friday on the 15th of April 2011, and PokerStars managed to return to America only in March 2016. This is a huge step towards returning American players to the common pool of PokerStars.

Stars Group owns the poker room, and therefore a client has got all the advantages of the room: soft, promotions, large series and tournaments, satellites to live events.

Short PokerStars.NJ review from Cardmates will tell you about the PokerStars branch in the USA.

They offer $30 free play on deposit which is great, but I'm Sit & Go fan and this game almost dead here(

Rather low traffic. But the competition is really soft.

Good bonuses and promotions. But you must remember that PokerStars’ NJ real money tables are available only for those who play within the borders of New Jersey.
