I typically only play on ACR, but I've been seeing a lot of people posting about playing & tournaments on poker stars. I started signing up, but during the sign up process I get a window saying the bit about how you can't play real-money games if you are in the U.S.


So my question is: Are there U.S. players here using Poker Stars? If so, are you guys able to participate in their tournaments?

Play Money Chips only, with some states recently excluded :eek:

And all of the CC Special events with Play Money Chips have a prize pool, too :)

PS: Very attractive lips, btw! Saying this because I am dealing with decorative cosmetics, including lipsticks :p

I think You can currently only play PS if You live in Nevada
but PS plans on getting licensed in other states too...
Since there is no federal gambling authority in the US there
is currently no way to offer legal online poker to all US citizens....

There is some misinformation here regarding who in the States can or cannot play on PokerStars for real money.

If you are anywhere in the US, you can only play on the main PokerStars client with play money. Any games that have a real money buy-in, or real money prize (like our Daily freerolls) cannot be played by anyone, anywhere in the United States.

Right now, only New Jersey can play on PokerStars, but only on a special client: PokerStarsNJ which means they are not on the main pokerstars.com client, and can only play against other players in New Jersey, using the PokerStarsNJ client.

I find the traffic on stars too much. they do have great low buy in tournaments that's for sure. it sure sucks that the Usa players cant gamble on sites.

Thank you for this information. It really eliminates any question as to who can and who can not. Is there any positive news as to progress at the congressional level for this to be changed? Have a good day!
