are you sure party will IP block?

[NYplayer]

i mean,
as long as it's their policy to not allow people in US to play and dont allow accounts from here i would think it would end there. dont they want to people still to play but to be able to claim they are on the up and up?
have they said they will ip block?

IMO, as one of the players who will be left after Party bans all the USA players, I seriously hope they enforce their ban ruthlessly (this may sound callous, but read on as I'll explain...).

It's one thing to lose all the USA fish, but the only thing that can possibly be worse; is to lose all the USA fish but still let all the decent winning players from the US find an easy loophole letting them play on...

This benefits nobody: Us poor souls who are left get our fish thinned out even more. The fish that are left will get killed much more rapidly and not return. Soon after the marginal winning players start to become marginal losers and leave, and so forth.

If Party doesn't enforce this properly, then it's goodbye Party from me for sure, on the other hand if they do then I will at least give them a chance to prove themselves post USA ban.

Pacific Poker has decided to allow US players to play on at their site, but just not deposit. No predator/prey system can survive without new prey, and Pacific's greed, IMO is very short sighted.

I don't think they'll IP block ... since they will allow you to play with play money ...

They're likely to look at the address/payment info ...

AFAIK, they enforce the IPblock already. Though I'm a US customer, Party would not let me login(around an year ago)from India where gambling is illegal.

Did Party prevent the login or did the Indian gov't/ISP institute the block?

I've played in a country that was/is blocked by Party. The local gov't had also blocked the Party website but access to the Party servers by running the client still worked fine. TOR/Privoxy bypassed the gov't block on the Party website. It was funny because that gov't also tried to block info about TOR/Privoxy, but couldn't block all the 100's of sites that had such info.

G'luck all,

If the fish leave why would the good players stay?

It's not like the software/support is great.

If the fish leave the US and Euro sharks will also migrate to Stars.

Thoughts?
