OT: Party Poker

[darnold305]

Hey guys...

My college roommate is a non-US citizen from Turkey. He's a foreign exchange student. Can he set up a Party Poker account and play from the US?

Because that would be awesome,

It'd be pretty easy to do this with a proxy and using his home address and bank account I'd imagine...

No - unless he can fool Party into thinking he is offshore.

See CTH forum for info - this is discssed reasonably often (search hint: proxy servers)

...which is why I said that the friend will need to not let Party know he is playing from the US.

This involves routing your internet traffic to their site via another location to effectively change your IP address (as Party sees it) to something that is outside the US.

Unfortunately, your friend is almost drawing DEAD! Party doesnt accept players from Turkey either, there is a thread about this.

The only party poker your friend will see is a home game with some naked and drunk women!
