blonde poker forum

I'm after a favour off someone if anybody can help at short notice.

I'm staying at a friend's in Spain and didn't realise you can't deposit on Stars over here.

I'm stuck in tonight because he's a lightweight so I thought I'd play a few comps.

I'm after a loan of about $250 which I'll pay back when I get back to the UK on Saturday or tonight if I win something.

In return for your help I'll give you a 10% free stake in anything I play.

Current plan is $22 cubed, big $55 and a few $11 jobbies.

Cheers in advance if anybody can help.

if you play in spain, your account will be instantly closed.

Hmmmm. Perhaps best give it a miss then.

Cheers Pleno.

ya what pleno said not worth it, am sure you could could play on the blue thing up in the air as that's fine  ;)

VPN to your computer in the UK.

Just use a free Uk VPN

P.s I was out

There must surely be something you can do with a spare evening in Espana?

Didn't leave it switched on as I didn't expect to want to play pokerz at any stage.

Also had no idea you weren't allowed to play from Spain.

That was last night ;)

Not worth the risk.

I am sure Stars haven't thought of this as a work around, deffo worth the risk.

Except Stars people almost certainly read this forum.

Not worth the risk if you value your Stars acct at all.

Yep - don't do it.  It cost me my stars account and it wasn't worth it.

Million Longy wasn't levelling.

Kind of feel bad for levelling The Camel :(

Obviously a bad idea, even if the chances of you getting caught are relatively small. The risk/reward of getting your account terminated especially if you were to bink can't be there.

If you VPN to a computer in the UK, and that's the one connected to Stars, how will they know?

I played a couple on Tilt last week whilst in Tenerifeeey and got round it by pretending I was in Bulgaria.

Good thing your sn on here and stars are completely different

If you dc and reconnect it can cause problems. At least that's what people who i know have been caught said.

I'm not talking about hiding your IP by using an proxy (as Stu did).

I'm talking about controlling the mouse and keyboard of a computer in the UK remotely. The computer logged into Stars is in the UK, and that's the IP Stars would see you're using.

I have an app that enables me to control my PC mouse and keyboard from my android phone. Same sort of thing as TeamViewer.

Maybe someone with more techie knowledge than me will tell me that Stars is able to detect the presence of a VPN to a computer it's running on. That might be possible, but lots of people use VPNs on their computers, to access email or company intranets, etc. In fact I'm sure I've played on stars whilst accessing another computer via a VPN (to access work files).

Dumb ass question ......
Why can't you play on stars in Spain ?

http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/2012/pokerstars-obtains-gaming-license-for-sp-095057.html

Basically, its regulated so is seperate, bit like in France and Italy too.

Just to add to the silly questions, why couldn't Matt just sign up for an ES account?

pretty sure you need a spanish address of residence / credit card with a spanish billing address etc.

Ah ok,

You don't need that for the French one though do you?

I would have had no idea that I wasn't allowed to play in Spain, or France for that matter.

If I had attempted it, would I have been insta-banned or would I have been warned that I was about to break the rules?

So now if I go abroad, I can't use my fancy new phone and my Stars app to play poker?

Is there a list if illegal countries?

Lots of people here seem to have Fr accounts so I'm guessing there's something you can do with that?

Yeh .fr works fine with uk addresses / banks

US obv, don't even login here. Italy and Spain both are theoretically banned though I am not sure how harsh stars are on innocent indiscretions. France not sure, would imagine it is like their mediterranean compadres.

China blocks you by firewall from many things, but there are workarounds and stars seems fine with it. You see Chinese players online etc.

Not sure about Stars but Tilt comes up with a message saying due to being in Spain you can only play the freemoney tables. So no issue logging in, it just won't let you play.

Assume Stars is similar.
