If you live in California and want to play poker for real money on PokerStars just go to Mexico or Canada.
How long before someone gets raped, murdered or robbed in Mexico because somebody drove down there just to play on PokerStars?
Or how about American gets robbed and killed in Canada after crossing the border into Vancouver just so they could boot up their laptop and play on the shitty Pokerstars website.
It is just
NOT worth it anymore for Americans to go out of your way just to play online poker.
Fuck PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and all the other piece of shit online poker douchebag companies.
They could have setup everything up from the beginning so it would be safe, secure, anonymous and easy to transfer funds and play anywhere in the world.
But no those companies had to pretend to be legitimate, then openly say "fuck you" to the U.S. government and then make a deal with the U.S. government to fuck over the players.
FUCK ONLINE POKER!
