Just happen to be impatient with the 'local bank transfer' 4 business days option, wondering if players are allowed to transfer funds over paypal to other players in exchange for a transfer of PS 'real money' on pokerstars?

Similar to when players purchase in-game currency for video games using Skype for trust purposes etc.

Nonononono use the stars buy button on cashier to buy bulk play button at nom negotiable rates that fund the room. Do not cheat PokerStars they are very noble for the fantastic free tables. You will be breaking the law if you do this.

I'm talking about real money - if I'm purchasing through another player still stimulating the PokerStars economy the same way. I didn't see any rules against this so trying to figure that out before I try.

Why don't you just put it directly into the PokerStars account then buying it off some one.

Can you provide a reference for PokerStars having the power to imprison people for violating their rules?

So, no, you don't have a source that confirms PokerStars has the power to imprison people who break their rules.

They can forward cases of fraud and money laundering to the local authorities, but do you think those authorities would care to arrest someone and imprison them for selling virtual property to a willing buyer, simply because that violated the terms of service for that site?

You think a company at their level doesn't know top lawyers/solicitors? They will bury you in legal superiority if you mess with them like this and so they damn well should.

I do it all the time at any site that allows player to player transfers, don't listen to any fools that says it is not allowed, no one will find out except you and the person you are transferring with.

The Madman has delusions of grandeur.

As usual you reply is nothing about what the OP asked, what has free tables got to do with anything that the OP asked.

Ahhhhh Bullshit.

Ask him for his cash grinding graph, for someone that claims to be the best poker player ever and cash game grinder had his trial version of a HUD expire and can't provide it.

:eek:

Can you provide a single example of PokerStars getting someone imprisoned for violating their TOS? Not for money laundering or other activities that are illegal beyond the TOS, but for something like selling play money, multi-accounting, botting, or even colluding and flat-out cheating. Can you link to a single arrest and jailing or imprisoning for stuff like that due to PokerStar's legal superiority?

So, to clarify, "NO". You are talking completely out of your bottom here. You are making stuff up and your delusions go way beyond just believing you are a competent poker player and into making up phony facts about the world around you.

Look man, you're lying to other people on here and making things up to make people unduly afraid. You are making this place worse by spreading false and misleading information.

Why threaten someone with the possibility of ending up in prison for buying PS money outside the normal purchase route, when you then claim that PS is merciful and hasn't imprisoned anyone for such a thing. I know, it's because you like attention and believing you are important. You're not.

Yes I am. I AM THE MIGHTY ZORBA and you just sit at home practising the dice shaking with no dice.

Who gives a shit about what you think about poker stars and what they can do, you're a dreamer, where's the graph.

Do you have a reply as to why you were talking about play money and free tables to the OP when that was not what he asked.

Is play money the only thing you know about money at Poker Stars.

In this case he does, because you are lying, you have no idea what poker stars will or won't do.

:rofl:

And you still won't reply as to why you were talking about play money when the OP was talking about real money.

Thank you for reporting it, that gives the mods a chance to see your lies. Did you use the red triangle thingy I showed you.

:rofl:
