Using a VPN to play from the U.S. to other poker sites?

#1 February 8th, 2019, 3:02 AM

Hey everyone,

Yesterday I asked if there was a way to play on Pokerstars in my area, apparently that site is not allowed where i live, only on New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada I think. So i was wondering, I have VPN set up with my antivirus, so I can show as if I am on a different location. Does anyone know if this would work with any sites?

Thanks!

PS makes buckets of money and they have a pretty nice budget for IT. They are fully aware of where you are playing, but the only real issue at hand is cashing out. You need an overseas bank, overseas I. D. And overseas utility bill. There's always a way if you want to put that much effort into it, but I recommend you stay away as this could get you permanently banned and that be a bummer when they return to serving the U. S.
Cheers

Ask yourself this, what would a site set up to make money do if an individual illegally playing on their site won a significant amount of money?

Option #1-Say to the player, "yeah, we only publish these rules to give us something to do" & ship him his winnings.
Option#2- Freeze his account & keep all the money in his account.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm- tough one to figure out.

Here is a hint, CardsChat has a number of free rolls for free roll club members. Individually not big bucks, but they do add up & they work very hard at keeping non members of the club from cashing.

Thanks for the replies! in all honesty, I didn't know that it would be considered illegal.

I do occasionally. Get a cheap VPN, on a trial...or some shit. They'll catch on. post on here. Dudley-do-right will say noooo noooo. And they're probably right. Does it work. Yeah. Mostly. Or every time I have done it. Cashed 3-4 figure scores.... But those are small. When/If I hit a big score doing it Imma head to my VPN home base country before I try my crypto cash out.

How many American PS Pros are there.... lol. The vast majority of my life.... the weed I grow and smoke daily was"illegal." Eventually they'll come around... until then we'll get around

Appreciate the warning bro. Good looking out. I obey just laws whenever possible. Bullshit ones.... IDGAF. My neighbors love me.... and me them. And the sites have to be careful. Cause all I do is withdraw...... Maybe they'll catch me and say I can't take the money.... I guess I'll risk the zero.... But so far. They've paid. so..... Do what you like. Do I deposit on non US sites. nope. Will I cash the checks? F yes.

they can see right through the VPN...they may or may not know where you are playing from, but by the IP address they know you are using a VPN

hmmm... Your opinion.... and my results vary. Keep you thoughts. I'll keep the money. And hopefully someday soon it will be moot. Just saying to those who want to know...... Does using a VPN work... YES. May they "catch" you. yes. Wanna risk large sums ... no/ Wanna take the free money offered till they catch you for .... doing what wrong exactly??? lol. Sure.

I agree... you'd be stupid to deposit hundreds or more then play and hit and hope for the best. If you can spare that kinda buy in money. Do it legit. If you wanna play Freerolls and small stakes with Freeroll winnings and a VPN. With zero risked. IDK>>>> i do... and I do. and should it work? maybe? maybe not? But I can tell you 1st hand. It does I don't even care posting this. Cause my user name on non US friendly sites isn't here/ and I use a VPN A decent VPN, no public, Free, Try it, BS, most poker sites security.... is favorable.

Jut saying.... Is a VPN allowed as a work around. NO! Is it a good idea. Probably not. Will it work, done right. F yes. Absolutely. If you disagree...... You're not playing on any poker site known to man and not using a VPN worth a dam...... and I know, plenty of VPNs aren't worth a dam. But there are more than a few that are

NO, how would you withdraw from PS...
VPNs are a no go via the terms on PS!

Totally agree. You may try to register and success but withdrawing....

I agree with everything. It depends from how the site detect the users which use VPN . Some time users could use VPN for personal security purpose , for increasing privacy . The best and free solution is to install pirate bay proxy on your PC. Your local IP will be changed and you will remain anonymous every time when browsing in the internet . This pirate proxy are the fastest and have very limited number of people connected on them in the same time . I recommend to use them .

1. Even though your VPN can put you elsewhere, geolocation is a serperate entity for different sites, including pokerstars.
2. What would do if you did win big, you would have to create quite a con and hope you didn't get caught.
Trust me I miss playing enough I considered it when online poker went to shit in the us, but running a con isn't the way to work it.
