Poker servers? Laws in North America

dowlinga · #1 12-04-2003, 04:35 PM

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but does anyone know the laws for location of casino servers. Seems all the poker servers are over seas, leading me to believe they are illegal to run from the States. But, what about Canada and Mexico? Any ideas on their laws and does anyone know any specific servers that are based in either of those countries? Thanks to anyone that can help with some info or links to sites that can answer the question.

PartyPoker is based in Canada, I believe.

PartyPoker is based in Canada, I believe.

I doubt it, it's illegal here also, exect if it's based in an Indien reserve like the KGC is.

Yup, Party is based on an Indian reserve, IIRC.

Amen to that Alobar. I don't know the history of Canada and their treatment of the Indians, but I think they should get all they can down here in the states.

Party, Stars, UB, and Paradise - all have their servers in Canada, inside Indian territory near Montreal.

Same history if not worse. I've read several books about Northern Shawnees written by tribe member. A lot of violence and army/police operations against them in 10-20s years of this century. But as far as I know specifically this tribe escaped relocation and were nomadized somewhere in the North up to at least 1960s when book was published. Probably not many tribes fully asserted their liberty from new countries on their land that way.
