Best Site for Aussie CC'ers?

Hi All,

I'm thinking of playing online a bit so that I can get more help with hand analysis, picking up leaks etc.

Anyone have any suggestions for the best place for Aussies to play?

Ideally some sort of deposit bonus, reliable and robust software, easy to deposit/withdraw, etc.

Am not sure what sites it is even legal to play on from Aus?

Appreciate any advice.

Any table with Zorba is a money maker IMO.

Zorba?????????

anyone..................?

If you scroll up Cardschat has some good deposit bonuses for a number of online poker sites.

At this point in time Pokerstars would command the most traffic online and is as good a place as any to start.

Unfortunately you will have to use your own money to gain much needed experience on the site (never slow play pocket rockets) because Pokerstars don't do "goodwill" very well and it is very sad that since the demise of Fulltilt Pokerstars dropped their daily freerolls for Aussie and Kiwi players.

The country of origin freerolls were a good way to guage your level of play and it was lot of fun to be able to wind down and chat with other players from Oz. Apparently money is so tight Pokerstars can't afford $700.00 a week for Australians and Kiwi's to play a daily $100.00 freeeroll. (surely the "winnings" are recycled)

In Australia the Interactive Gambling Act (chapter 15 explains it ) makes it illegal for Australian based that may change.
Good luck

Im Aussie and play on Stars. Have deposited no problems via Visa. And have done several large withdrawals straight to my bank which takes about 2 days.

Yes it is legal to play online poker in Australia and all winnings are tax free. Pokerstars is really the only place to play IMO.

Hey I'm from NZ and i play on pokerstars, pretty sure the cash table have plenty of traffic.

It's technically illegal for Stars (or any other site, for that matter) to offer you the service though.

Not our problem :P

Stars is by far the best.

Yes and no - it's not a problem right now, but at the same time with the law as it stands now, if the government ever decided to pull its finger out we're very much open to our own version of Black Friday.

Stars in particular has a history of shutting players out once the government in a particular area makes it explicit that they're not welcome. Fortunately, Stars also has a history of quickly paying players out in full - other sites maybe not so much.

I'm just saying it's a risk we should know we're taking as Australian players.
