Say one was to take a laptop on a plane and log on to pokerstars, in which of the following countries could you legally play in?

1) Columbia
2) Ecuador
3) Peru
4) Chile
5) Argentina

The same ones you could legally play in if you didn't take a laptop on a plane and log on to pokerstars?

Dunno, but I'd knock off Columbia and Ecuador and add Venezuala and Brazil Smiley

No, that's true, thought it might be relevant in some way though.

I don't know about Colombia or Ecuador, but I don't think you would have any problems in peru, chile or argentina. It's 'grey' in all those countries, much as it used to be in the US/Europe. They all have a gambling culture with large land based casinos (I went there for a couple of months last year).

My guess is the other two would be the same.

Looking at the scoop microsite, with stats by country. Argentina, Colombia and Chile feature in the lists, so people definitely are playing on stars from those countries.

Edit just remembered there is a prominent poster on 2p2 who is an ex-pat living in peru who plays online for a living. So just need Ecuador now!
