Default Pokerstars: \"Where every game and every tournament is free\" ... ??

Just saw this line on a commercial with MM and Raymer.

Hrm. I wonder how this gets past the federalies. Seems like a blatant case of false advertising.

I know the poker sites have to be "non-gambling" sites to advertise, so they have to ramp up the focus on the free play, but jeez ...

I believe they are referring to pokerstars.net, where every game and tournament IS free.

What do the Mexicans have to do with advertising on U.S. tv?

And btw, all games and tourneys are FREE on .NET sites of poker rooms.

They're just taking the "we're only a poker school" to the max. It's like the Seinfeld episode where George made up the lie about having a ranch and goes on to give the name of his horse - "Prickly Pete ".
