hey all,

was just reading through pokerstars list of acceptable and non acceptable software to us in conjunction with pokerstars and noticed ptr was on the list.

i'm just wondering from a privacy standpoint how exactly they police that?

do they take screenshots, do they access all the pages on the internet your browsing somehow?

just wondering and thought i'd ask here.

(and yes i do use ptr while playing sometimes but so does everyone)

They used to do a bunch of cool **** to make sure you weren't visiting sites you shouldn't be when the client was running, but then a bunch of pusses whined about it until they removed it. I could go through how they worked, but I don't feel like it. Nevertheless, even then, they didn't care about the porn you watch etc.

I have tried searching everywhere and can't seems to find a list of websites that people can play in there own country. Every country have different laws and each website is not allowed in each country so i think it would be very handy for players to just get a list and see if they can play on a website they choose to.

United States
PokerStars
Party Poker
High Pulse Poker

India
PokerStars

Hi all, hope someone has some insight to help me out.

I have been contacted about a possible position working for a company called Leaderbet who seem like a predominantly Italian company.

I have been looking around on the internet to find out some more about the company to not much success and was hoping that possibly some people on here would have some insight about the company / their owners / past experience working for them etc?

Anything and everything would be useful.

Thanks
