From today´s PokerNewsReport - "Inadvertently, Mr Bandeira has done more to promote offshore poker sites than million dollar tournaments or Game of Thrones themed events could ever do!"

Thanks for reply!

Since I don't have enough activity on the forum I can't send any PMs.

Is there anyone playing poker on other sites than PokerStars and living in Portugal?

lol, gold.

btw nice shot in the foot. It's not like france is thinking about opening up the pool again because of this self-destructing rule.

Guess this means players in the EU can open a account and play there similar to pokerstars.FR going by what the article said.

Liquidity will be a problem as its a small country id imagine.

So where are the portuguese playing now? I dont believe they just stopped playing for half a year already... is vpn working? Which sites?

Is it final that the player pool will be segregaded?

liquidity will be an huge problem i would guess, don't expect games to run at 100nl+ with any decent frequency for a poker pro

gl having more than 4 tables running at 10nl

The idea seems to be to combine with spain and france if that ever happens. Why not with the eu or .com, they think it is too complicated, when it actually should be just plug and play these days.

Czech Republic and Hungary. Some in Malta too.

Assuming i open one of those sites that still operate in my country. How does the gov entitys discover or monitorise that??

will they remain in the stars.EU pool?
would be great if people start shouting in here should they ever be thrown out (=get segregated)

thx for info

i think gov can tell ISPs to block certain IP addreses/domain names...
as u are portugues, do you know if the player pool will be segregaded or no? thx

It will be segregated

My main point here, based on POrtugal course, is facing a long dark period where online is not allowed by law, how are the players catched??
Well my internet provider will give a list? Are the laws going to list everything?
In usa online poker is not permited? Some sites runs ?
Some thought please?

One more point? COnsidering playing on the known sites that still runs what are my main worrys in the process. I mailed some sites and they assure me they run in portugal. The worrys are only by my side?

If it is illegal for you to play on non portugal licenced sites, there is little outside of play money you can legally do about it. As long as you have money on some site that is not going to get the licence and not ban you, your only worry might be winning if you have to pay tax, that may not be the case, and you never cashout, though your money wont be sure safe even if you wont win or cashout. The wallets are not anonymous until they are fully anonymous, and also any site where one plays technically need to be fully anonymous, to avoid any technically illegal playing, and any law or rule can change. It does look like there is going to be pooling with spain at least as far as i have read, neither being against it but more like in favor of it.

where did you read there is going to be pooling with spain?

Until the talks about pooling between some countries around there have been 100 % full of crap the last few years, there is some possibility some pooling there will happen. I just dont think italy or even france will be a part of it, so not sure what that idea about france has come from when they before clearly said no, though at least many eu players can play there, just the rake is high in france, and somewhat high in italy. But spain has been most open for poker a long time. I just dont all understand that kind of family thinking over eu thinking or even global pool. Portugal is somewhat against capitalism? But I have not read anything about will and will not. It is as it is in portugal for now and the doors are not closed tightly. They just seem to be unclear about what they should do about it and will keep it sort of pending for now, just collecting some tax money rather than not, till they decide how they will continue in 2017 or whatever. There are news sites like pokernews.

So many posts , so many nonsense

Please go to the gov sites and read the info

(yes its sad these bastards are being incompetent as fk )

we are still waiting for the first licenses to be issued.

regulator said they "hope" to do it in March...

So is it possible to play from Portugal again? There's someone from Portugal at one of my Party tables.

quite certain i have played with people "supposedly" in Portugal on Winning Poker Network

according to latest news from anao.pt the portugal might end up with international liquidity afterall but i dont understand the google translation very well.

maybe some portuguese here can post something more?

Still curious about the Party accounts listed as being in Portugal - does anyone know is it possible to play from Portugal at the moment if your account is registered in another country?

I was wandering what is still happening with portugal players that play on PS, so nice bump to ask that? Can they play on PS right now? I think no. Lets hope that they can play in scoop.

Only pros who moved out of the country are playing on PS. Also one of the reasons online poker is getting tougher. No fish from US, France, Italy etc but you get all the pros who moved to a foreign country to play online.
