Re: Practical workarounds for US players
Not to sound pessimistic or a nit.....but arent most of these ideas considered bank fraud or money laundering to the US government?
For me.... im just done playing online all together until its legal to play in the US, and there are US-based sites. How easy would it be for these sites to just steal your money and blame the new laws?? Im not taking the chance....Which means theres a good chance Ill never play online again. It sucks....but anyone halfway intelligent cried about this a few months ago, and was simply waiting for it to happen....im over it. Hello life, nice to see you again... Ive missed you.

Some sort of workaround may be the final solution to this mess for US players. As I pointed out before, workarounds are popular enough to attract mainstream media attention: "Even PartyPoker saw an increase, as U.S. users figured out how to get around the ban on the sites. The company's U.S. audience increased to 1.3 million in December from 1.18 million in November, according to Nielsen//NetRatings." http://www.businessweek.com/technolo...006_page_2.htm [/ QUOTE ] Business Week incorrectly attributed play money numbers to real money activity. There were 1.3 million play money players in December, none of which include real money players from the US.

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. [/ QUOTE ] Um... what about photoshopping a fake ID scan? Isn't this a viable option?
