Looking for experienced players who've already accomplished what i'm wanting to attempt. I'm not looking to hear about moving to Jersey or Vegas to play on PS in the US. I'm looking to setup a VPN and using a dedicated computer as the grind station to grind some cash games. I like they have way more rooms than ACR and just the overall user experience of the platform. I'm just wanting advice on the setup process to be able to play. I already understand the methods of being able to withdraw. Any and every bit of input will be much appreciated! -Love

I’ve looked into this. You’ll need a computer with WiFi located within the state and be able to Remote Desktop into that machine.
I thought about renting a sever located with the state, however PS geolocation requires WiFi to validate location. I don’t believe any services that provide VPS have WiFi cards as they are hard wired.

How do you propose getting money off the site? You will need to verify ID and address.
It's not going to happen. Sites are far more knowledgeable than to let something as simple as a dedicated PC and strong VPN. PS in particular is very stringent on people VPNing in. Something about that agreement they signed.....

Deposit and withdrawal are no problem, you don’t need to have an address or ID within that state.
Per PS Website-
Anyone with a valid address in the United States and a valid Social Security Number can create an account, deposit and withdrawal into a PokerStars PA account (except in locations where access to the PokerStars PA gaming software is prohibited by local Jurisdictional requirements (e.g. Italy, Spain, etc), but you will be unable to play any real money games unless you are physically located within Pennsylvania.

I'm pretty sure he's looking to play on Poker Stars as if he wasn't in the US - IE, play with the rest of the world.
Either way OP, no, we don't allow threads about breaking sites' T&Cs.
