Re: Practical workarounds for US players
Well I have been doing lots of thinking about this lately and I have found a solution to access the poker sites. I'm from Canada and I have similar problem with bodog poker like the US players do with Party. For some reason bodog will not allow Canadians to play on their site.
Anyway, I you sign up with findnot.com and use one of their proxy servers you can get in. I also have friend's address I can use too, but this doesn't totally solve the problem.
Hypothetical here, let's say you have a fake address, and use a proxy, and are able to get into a site. YOu also find a way to deposit money. However, let's say after you have been playing a while you want to cash out. If at any time the site like Party requests picture ID to validate who you say you are which actually happened to me 6 months ago, you are now in trouble because your driver's license or whatever ID you use won't match your bogus address.
Then they will just freeze your account and you can kiss your money good bye. Not saying this will happen for sure but It's a real possibility, especially if they track your IP address to a proxy.
