This thread isn't about what countries laws apply where and if the isle of man government meets your approval, because really no one cares about you or your opinions. Now in regards to you not doing anything banworthy, I would disagree and will be in touch with mods and encourage everyone else to do the same.
Okay, get in touch with the "mods". You do that.
Fact is, the arguments I made are 100% accurate and you know it.
Why do you think pokerstars chose to operate in the isle of man?
Think about it.....think about it.......
You think they pointed to some island and said "this one?"
No of course not.
They chose a remote island with a weak gov't to do business in.
Why?
Because they have lax regulatory authority, don't have the resources to enforce all the laws they "pass", and pokerstars can use this to their advantage if they ever get into a dispute with that gov't.
Yeah..."techincally" pokerstars is bound by the isle of man's laws....and?
That's like saying "techincally" the people in Iraq are bound by laws passed by their new "gov't" Yeah and?
It is in the best interest of pokerstars to claim they are bound by some government, it'll make players feel more safe.
However, this is very dishonest.
Instead of claiming that they are bound by a puppet gov't authority, they should just say they are bound by sound business and economic principals and leave it at that.
Now you want to ban me because I reveal the truth? Because it'll hurt your bottom line? Go right ahead, however I have not violated the TOS of this site, even though the TOS does not really apply to me.
If the mods want to ban me...guess what? They can.
They aren't bound by ANY laws, they can do whatever they want, period.
Just like....you guessed it! POKERSTARS!
