The Anti-American prejudice at online poker sites is a joke

[rusty JEDI]

Its okay, I dont see many Quebec (our french province for ignorant americans) players. Quebec is like our mental disability. But without them we are fine.

but can we poke fun at the French for awhile? [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Expert collusion is going to be the key to winning this thing.

Oh good grief. Read my message - where did I say, or even suggest, that Americans are easy to beat or 'easy pickings'?? I would welcome American players because it would increase the traffic at the site, particularly at certain times of the day - SIMPLE!

I play at Ladbrokes because I can move funds in and out, in seconds, with my debit card - rather than suffering extreme inconvenience and frustration trying to use my credit card at certain other sites - thanks to the draconian American laws.

The games at Ladbrokes (I can't speak for Hills, never tried it) are soft. That's not because there are no Americans, but because the brand name, customer base and sheer size of Ladbrokes ensures that non poker players sign up to play there.

As for your other point, I now see what you are getting at. You think Ladbrokes won't take Yank poker players because they get beaten at sports betting by Americans (well, I doubt it, but maybe) and can't be seen to offer poker but not the sportsbook.

Okay, its a point that makes sense, whether or not it is true.

Well, 25% of the Swedish population lives in the same city and since we have a Swedish mother company and have been successful in recruiting players in Sweden, you will see players from the same town.

Now, we hope to increase the North American traffic substantially though.

It has to do with the extreme efficience of 2+2. They put out the ads before we updated our web.

Start playing those cashgames now.

One qualifying round of 2x300 players at each site. 50 players from each site get to play 2 final events, one at each site.

More info on our sites.

Can someone quote me the federal statute that EXPRESSLY makes illegal online gambling (as a participant, not a provider)?

as ladbrokes told me it was illegal i asked them - here is their reply:

"As we have stated poker it is illegal in many states of the USA and as we have interests in the USA we cannot accept US players. Feel free to quote this in your forum.

I stated "we cannot quote you US law" what I meant by this was We cannot quote you the federal statute, as you say. I suggest that you contact the courts in America for the exact wording of the laws.

i guess they haven't read it either if it exists
