I just found out that any Europeans can play here. I downloaded it and realised a whole site full of French players. It's like a dream come true!!!!

You have to make a new account ram. The validate account thing is they send you a code via your house that you need to input or your account gets closed. I only signed up today so will need to wait for that.

I believe you also have to validate by depositing directly from your bank account (not 100% sure about this but did read that somewhere).

What timezone is this screenshot in? (I'm used to seeing Stars lobby in EST)

Western Europe.
Is that same as GMT -1 ? (I'm pretty much used to only viewing lobbys in either 'EST' (ie. PokerStars, FTP, UB, Merge, etc.).. or 'GMT' (< all the rest, iPoker, Ongame, etc.). I don't usually bother to change them to timezone I'm living in (mostly cuz of how tourneys are advertised).

I don't think so. I believe it would be either GMT or GMT +1. I could be mistaken, though. :)

Do you get another welcome bonus?

GMT is the same as WET.

I've just signed up too. Just waiting on the letter to confirm my address. .fr is a seperate site to .co.uk so you get a €500 first deposit bonus and you get 15 tickets to €1000 freerolls for validating your account and making a deposit.

@PO: You have to have an EU bank account to play on .fr

I'm from UK and have played depoited and withdrawn (direct to bank account) for over a year now

+ Nice software
+ French :)

- Higher rake
- SNG vertually non existant
- Fewer T's = lower G's

You can deposit through a bunch of methods but can only withdraw to a bank account.

You need to receive a letter in the post and input the code on it within 30 days or they lock your account.

It's not as dreamy as it sounds, MTTs are still soft (I still play there) but they aren't anywhere near as soft as when they first opened, there's a lot of European regs who play there and will play as low as the €20s

For cash, pretty sure rake is ~25% higher and the rewards through the VIP club are lower

Hi guys,

Just confirming that yes, you can sign up and open an account, but it requires a bank account in the European Union.
