Guys, an Australian player is asking me if there are no other options then JuicyStakes and Ignition at the moment right? Especially for playing MTTs. I'm aware of PP Poker and such, but for MTTs these aren't great options either. Just to make sure, if you know about an alternative I'd be happy to hear that! :-) Thank you.

The other partners ACR, Ya, & True gets redirected to and aussie web page that doesn't exist anymore but blackchip doesn't.

If he does open an account with Black Chip, would be very interested to know if he can deposit and play. Cheers

It's a smaller site and part of the Horizon Network. A different skin like Intertops. Traffic is somewhat low and might be a nice addition to your current action. The 36% flat daily rakeback is definitely a nice bonus!

No, Australian options are currently Ignition, Juicy Stakes and the Asian apps like PP Poker and PokerMaster.

Have any aussies currently playing on any of the WPN skins tried withdrawing? If so?
1/ Did it all go well?
2/ Did they allow you to continue to play after the withdrawal?

Have withdrawn several times since the ban without issue.

I've also been having problems with iggy lately. Haven't gotten that "not available in your region" message, but it doesn't wanna accept my login details on the browser. The client normally lets me in no problem though. It's weird.

Look, the best option for Aussies is to play on Chinese poker apps and it's not even close.

What would happen if an aussie won a huge score in a big tourney on a WPN skin, (i dunno, 50k+)

Would they have the right not to pay out? (ie Gordon Vayo saga)

Their stand being you shouldn't have been playing on the site

Also other players might complain. Say you beat another player from a big score, couldn't he turn around and say, what's an aussie doing on the site? He shouldn't have been playing, give me the winnings etc

If they let you play on the site, they really are obligated to pay you out.

all imo based on nothing and fwiw if they bust and steal aussie rolls they will get a bit of me

If you have an existing account, it should work no problem. It would be interesting to see if someone could create a new account.

My understanding is that the ACMA have sent letters to offshore casino, poker and sportsbook sites requesting them to post warning messages that their site is not compliant with Australian law.

You could also try to access the website by VPN just for the purpose of downloading the client exe.

It is about the terms if they will keep your money or not.
