Yes, although our system is certainly not 100% accurate, thus we have to ask if we're accurate or not. It's kind of like porn sites asking if you're 18 or not.

Yeah. I got a notice that they detected that I was from Wisconsin via my IP address and I had the option of confirming or denying that fact. If I were to confirm it, I wouldn't be able to view BW. I lied and denyed and was able to get in.

[quote="jek187"][quote="jhess888"]I was reading on 2 + 2 that people from certain states are banned from this site. Is this true and if so which states and why are they banned?

[/ QUOTE ]

We aren't banning anybody. We are checking IPs of people who view the site, and if we detect they're from a state where online poker is illegal, we ask them if our IP checking is accurate.
