Default What poker sites enforce an english only at the table rule?

It's not a matter of racism or anything like that, I just want to know I'm not being cheated. Every casino I've ever been to enforces this rule, as well as any home game I've been to. I know Titan Poker does as well. What other websites enforce it?

I'll be draining my WSEX account shortly due to them not enforcing this rule. Especially when I can read basic spanish and see words representing cards coming up. Cheating is hard enough to avoid online, I don't need it right in front of my face.

Why would it be racist? Language knows no race, look at the USA. It's simply common sense.

I only added the racism thing because on WSEX I was made out to be the bad guy for asking for english only to avoid cheating. Somehow my request turned into an American bashing debate. I listened to how our education system sucks, we're simple minded, blah blah blah but all I wanted was a fair game. Since they argued with me in english I saw no reason why they had to make things so difficult. I've never been to a casino that didn't enforce english only, but suddenly I "Hate spain"

I hate Spain, with their good looking girls and constant nice weather. Damn their eyes.

PokerStars enforces English only, incidentally.

If you mean they're shouting, "Clob! Clob! Me vanna clob!", then they'll say it in English, in any case.

If they're saying something like, "Me hev quattro clobs oont me nid anuzza clob, zo rez eem owt, Pedro, mon ami!" then they're cheating in any language, and you should report them.

But it's better on screen than on aim, I always say.

The rule is sort of pointless since on a computer (compared to a casino) it is so easy to just set up an IM channel.

I know collusion happens regardless but I don't want it in front of my face. It's insulting. Anyway, I can't play on Stars, registered wrong and they refuse to let me fix the info. Any others?

Cut out of the chat window what they are saying and have it translated by google or something.
