Yeah, thanks for no help, dude. [censored] wowsers. Whose business is it of theirs if I want to take fishes' money? [/ QUOTE ] Isn't it an Aussie based site? I thought I read that allowing other Aussies to play there broke some law. Kind of the same reason that Bodog doesn't allow Canadians except that in Bodog/Calvin's case it's more that he has a general fear of prosecution.

Makes a lot of sense.

Re: Aussies at Carbon Poker
Online poker is not illegal for Australians. But sites with buisnesses based/with offices in Australia cant accept Australian players. Same reason we cant play on the Betfair poker room is why we wouldnt be allowed to play on Carbon poker.

Whether the person punished is you or the site, it's illegal for you to play there. In the same way, it's illegal for you to drink in a pub if you're 13. This is true whether the law says you are fined or the pub is fined. I'm glad I could clear that English idiom up for you. If there's anything else you're struggling with, please let me know.
