Wow that sucks. Is FTP expected to follow?

Not any time soon. You need to associate with a local casino to get a Belgian license for online poker, and there are only 7 casinos in Belgium afaik.

Also, cash game is probably never going to take off as the Belgian market is so small and cash games are restricted to Belgian players only. And without cash games, it's a lot harder for a poker site to be profitable, so I can't see why FT would choose to enter the Belgian market. They did give up on the Italian market because cash game was not allowed there. Also, pretty sure they are loosing a ton of money with their French license, so it should make them think twice about new markets.

No, rake is actually the same as on the .com. Taxation is really reasonable, tbh. 11% of the revenue of the poker site, iirc, which is much better than the French law.

So the restriction is all about player pool and the stupid go to the casino to verify your account (if new)? Also noticed it was 21+, is that new?

So what are you going to do?

Play "legally?" or continue with FT / PS?

I don't play on PS.com anymore for a very long time already, so this won't affect me at all. And beyond that i'm hoping to move to switzerland in the near/medium future anyway, so who cares what Belgium does.

The other Belgian in this thread probably has it a lot worse than me, tbh. The law also specifies that you need to be 21+ to play online poker in Belgium.

It was kind of illegal for all before, so it's only new in the sense that poker sites had a 18+ limit in place and that was the de facto law.

I have a HTC Desire on Android so I can tether it to my laptop and use it as a wifi hotspot over my phone contract. You'd think someone in IT would have been tech savvy enough to realise this, apparently not! lol

Tethering has also fixed my authorisation issues with HEM at work, I just connect to my mobile's wifi hotspot, open HEM and let it authenticate, and then disconnect :D

I just hope one day that Americans can experience the hysteria and excitement that only the build up and playing of the world cup can bring.



FAIL!

I fail to see how Lucky is asking for your admiration of football. Hes asked you about football in general and about DB.

FAIL your FAIL. In all seriousness Lucky has since said hes fine with everyone admiring their own brand of football, be it American or English. Amen. I'm fine with that too. I'm just pointing out that many, many discussions about soccer come around to "you guys over there simply must learn to love it, experience the joy of it, etc." We're quite fine without that, thank you very much. Just as most of Europe is fine without ever learning the joy of admiring football. Believe it or not, there is no need for everyone in the world to approve of, admire, or be a fan of your sport. Just as there is no need for everyone to do the same with mine. I'm fine with that.

I'm downloading the Shogun Total War 2 demo through steam (you have to) and it's taking ****ing ages which is tilting the shit out of me. I don't even know why it should take 3 or 4 ****ing hours. Is this standard for steam? If it is **** that I'd rather pay the extra tenner to get a disk when the full game comes out in like a week.

My internet isn't slow, not on dial up or anything retarded, I can stream films and stuff no problem. Rage.

i didnt see anything about -21 players already owning a .com account.

are they shutting those accounts down until they verify or what ?
as long as full tilt stays open to me i dont really care too much and could keep playing (though ive barely played in the last 3 months)

wish i had my rsa here so i could try to log on to .com
