Hi Guys,

Curious...

Although Dutch I have been living in Africa for a decade now. Last 3 years in Ethiopia. I know there is quite a lively poker community in (Nairobi) Kenya and I assume in SA there is as well?!.

Any fellow (import) Africans on this forum? Any good games in your area? Here in Addis Ababa I have not even been able to find enough enthusiasts to start a home game and gambling (Which Poker should not be counted as imo) is prohibited.

Let me know!

Thx

A quick reminder is in order: LCP does not allow for discussion of illegal activity, so if poker is not legal wherever you are please do not post about it here. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Rapani,

Ty for the reminder.

Although live gambling (Specifically Casinos) is prohibited here, there is no legislation or ban on internet poker. I can freely access Pstars, FT etc.

The aim of this post is also not to setup any games in ET, rather to find out if there are more poker enthusiasts on the African continent. I hope this is not against the LCP as that has never been my intention. As mentioned for live games the occasional visit to Nairobi is actually more fun as it has really been taking off there in the last few years.

Hope this clarifies!

Thanks for the clarification!

So is live poker legal in Nairobi? And do you know of any other African cities or countries where live poker is legal and there are poker rooms or casinos?

Generally LCP is for the discussion of live legal poker in venues like casinos or cardrooms. Communities for the purpose of study groups for online poker probably would get better development in MTTc or Internet Poker, while developing a community for home games would work better in Home Poker. Hopefully though you'll get some interest here if there's live legal venues in Africa.

As a American you can't play online poker in Nigeria.

We used to could but it was stopped 3 or 4 years ago..... Lots of home games with expats of course.
