General:
Why can I no longer play on PokerStars?
For an explanation of this issue, please review our statement at:
PokerStars statement on the blocking of players from Washington State
My account:
What will happen to my account balance?
Your account balance is completely safe. You are allowed to cash out your balance or transfer it to another player.
To cash out, simply log in to your PokerStars account, click on 'Cashier', and then click on 'Cash Out'. You will then see your available cashout methods, and can select the one that is appropriate for you. If you encounter difficulties, please contact
paymentservices@pokerstars.com for direct assistance with your cashout.
What will happen to my tournament tickets and T$?
All pending tournament tickets and T$ balances will be converted to cash and added to your existing balance. This process may take some time to complete, but we plan to complete all conversions by end of day Monday, October 4.
What will happen to my VIP status?
Your VIP status will remain stored. In the event that you move to a another state/country, or Washington's law changes as a result of further court decisions or a change in legislation, your status will be fully restored.
What will happen to my FPPs?
You can purchase any items in the VIP Store until the end of 2010.
By the end of the day on October 1, we will be removing the play-through requirement for all newly purchased VIP Reward Bonuses, so you will be able to purchase cash bonuses based on your VIP status.
Please visit the VIP Store in the PokerStars 'Cashier' window to purchase a cash bonus or other items.
What will happen to real money tournaments that I am currently playing in, or the ones I am already registered in for the future?
You will be allowed to complete any tournaments that you are playing in once the account restriction begins.
We will automatically unregister you from all tournaments that have not started yet.
Can you give me any further information about my account?
We are reviewing other outstanding issues, and will update this page with new information when it becomes available.
Playing on PokerStars:
If I move or I have moved, will I be able to play on PokerStars again?
This restriction only applies to players currently residing in the state of Washington. In the event that you are no longer living in Washington, you are free to play on our site as in the past. However, to do so, you will be required to submit proof that you are actually resident in another location to have your privileges reinstated. Acceptable proof consists of copies of photo identification as well as a recent utility bill showing your new physical address.

May I play if I ordinarily live outside Washington, but I am visiting Washington?
It is not permitted to play for real money while in the state of Washington. Even if you are simply visiting, you may not play on PokerStars while you are there.
May I play if I ordinarily live in Washington, but I am travelling outside of Washington?
Currently, all accounts registered to a Washington address are blocked from real money play. To remove this block, you must physically reside at a new location outside of Washington on a permanent basis, and be able to prove that you are doing so. This would not be possible to do simply during a visit to another state or country. As such, you are not permitted to play even when travelling outside Washington if you are regularly a resident there.
Can I still play in PokerStars live events?
You are still welcome to play in the PCA or any of our live poker tours. Unfortunately, you will not be able to buy in directly to these events through PokerStars (except with funds that you now have on PokerStars but have not cashed out), as there will be no way for players from Washington to deposit money on our site.
Can I still play for play money?
Yes, players from Washington are free to continue to play for play money on either our .com or our .net site. However, at this time it will not be allowed for Washington residents to participate in freeroll tournaments which have real money prizes.
An important final word:
Is there anything I can do to change the current legal situation in Washington State?
Yes. You can make your feelings regarding the current state of the law in Washington known to your local legislators. We also encourage you to become a member of the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) which is a non-profit players' organization with the mission to establish favorable laws that provide poker players with a secure, safe and regulated place to play.
