what is partypoker.*NET* (vs .com)
 

Got through reinstalling everything on my computer and went to download Party again, and the dang thing wouldn't recognize my user name or email or real name. Then I realized it was .net not .com, even though the screens look about the same and it had a poker download and everything.

Had a bad 5 minutes when I thought it might be a phishing site to steal user names and passwords, but on looking closer it appears to be some kind of non-gambling poker site - play money and tournament games only. What's the deal? Party trying to fool some people into thinking they quit taking real money?

It's so they can advertise on TV. They can't advertise for gambling sites so they have to have a .net to advertise for. Everyone forgets the .net part and goes to the .com anyways.

Ah. that makes sense. Thanks.

online gambling illegal in USA - .net is "play for free". if a citizen then chooses to break the law, it's not .com's fault.
