Yesterday I started playing at poker star spain, and it seems to me that the players are less professional, and the number of people per tournament is much smaller, the prize pool is not that big either, but even so, the probability of reaching the final table is greater , have you ever played on this platform and what did you think??

Hmm, I do not think that you can freely choose the doman where to play on.

Isn't everyone supposed to play at the domain linked to his country of residence?

To play in pokerstars Spain you must be in Spain, ita a closed market so they wont let you play anywhere else if you live in spain. It should be much smaller than global pokerstars as it's only the spanish market, so tourneys should have fewer players

Its common sense, that closed market sites are going to be softer than sites, that are open to most of the world. But as others have said, you cant play there, unless you live in the closed market country, state or province.

Strange, I managed to get in and I've been playing for Spain for 3 days now, it made sense to me now because I'm only from the region, even if the tables are quieter.

I registered through a link from a poker team I joined, that must be why I managed to join then, but I had never tried before!
It may be that this team has a link with PS and that's why we can play from brazil.
For me a beginner is good, I can improve my way of playing.

I can only recommend to check with support and see if you will be able to also withdraw your winnings in the end. Otherwise you'll lose your money.

I am pretty sure you need to be resident in Spain, as Andyreas says I would check with support first. You dont want to grind alot of winnings and then not be able to.withdraw it

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into this with support before accumulating cash anyway.
