Is there any way to play now? The ban started on the 11/9. Vpn won't work, pokerstars somehow knew I was using one! Is playing with cryptocurrency illegal?
Aussies can play on Ignition Casino. You can deposit with bitcoin. I use blockchain as a bitcoin wallet and I also have a coinjar account linked to my aussie bank account. I strongly recommend depositing and withdrawing to/from poker site with blockchain and then withdrawing from blockchain to coinjar. And then from coinjar to your aussie bank account. Note: Dont deposit direct from coinjar to poker site..they dont seem to approve of "gambling". Use blockchain as a go-between wallet. Hope this helps[emoji3]
 
As OzExorcist said, a VPN will not work, you need to prove with a valid ID that you actually live in that country.

The WPN network ACR/BCP is the best option that we have at the moment, we can also play at Intertops, but be careful if you do play there, DO NOT use a bonus of any kind there, the playthrough requirements are horrendous, also if you play there in their freerolls they have a 50% playthrough requirement on any freeroll winnings.

Sadly this is true.

Not sure why you don't think Ignition is credible. They are by far the biggest poker room operating in both the US and Australia.

Ignition also share a player pool with Bodog which operates in Canada and a bunch of south American countries according to this list: www.cryptoreturncalculator.com/crypto-poker-sites



I was all for ignition until they tried to screw me over for a satellite to the “NEW YEARS MINI MAIN EVENT”! I spent over 4 hours explaining and re explaining this to their online chat consultants who played dumb with me....tried to tell me their was a glitch in the system and to do a re install....then retracted the whole explanation and said I was wrong....this went around in circles until they FINALLY gave me the ticket THEY ADVERTISED!....I then checked further satellites to the same event and SAME ISSUE! God knows how many ppl they screwed over for it!....I posted pics up on the forum but for some reason they are not clear enough....oh and they promised me a call back within 48 hours and it’s now been 8 days (I’ve emailed over a dozen times since and spoken to a further 4 online consultants who keep saying “I’m next in line for a call”).....THEY ARE COWBOYS!
 
Hi guys

Im from Melbourne and mainly play on Ignition and Juicy Stakes. I also have account with pokermatch, which is a Ukrainian site but I only play freerolls there.

Would love to hear about peoples experiences with PPPoker.

Play crypto sites in Australia

My first post in forum

As you may know online poker has been banned in Australia.

Apart from playing on Ignition Casino and other not very credible sites. What is the best way to play some online poker in Australia.

The only option I can think of is to get a VPN and set up and off shore bank account so that it can be linked to an online account for withdrawals.

Does anyone out there have any information?

Regards Tony 🙂

Good Bitcoin sites that should work in Australia here https://bitcoinplay.net/ and coinpoker and nolimitcoinpoker work in most places, I am sure. They are all very good now.
 
There's also clubs that are part of unions on 4 different Apps under the one roof. Tournaments of over 120,000 gtd weekly and about 200 cash game tables ranging from .10/.20 all the way up to 35/70 in Holdem, PLO, PLO5, OFC and shortdeck and a weekly 5,000 free entry game.

There's also custom promotions with Private Freerolls, Jackpots and Deposit Bonuses, Min Cash for bubbling etc. Deposits and withdrawals seem to be 24 hours, 7 Days a week with instant payment options and zero wait time.

Feel free to PM me for more details.
 
yeah crypto is the way to go. it's easy once you get the hang of it and fast withdrawals!

plus heard the Aus government is trying to get the banks to block credit/debit cards to online casinos
 
Hi

Alaunt can you please invite me to the clubs? I am interested and I hope you're still around.

Regards,

Jay
 
Unfortunately not many options online in Australia.

https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN2592

Petition EN2592 - Amend Interactive Gambling Act (2001) to Allow Online Poker A friend linked me this petition for them to amend the bill that prevents it. Has been a lot of movement over the years to try and get poker legal online in Australia again!
 
Players from Australia can play in any poker room, just when registering, you need to enable VPN in Ukraine, open the page, download any client program, register there and play, I don't see any problems, but that the pages are blocked is not a problem, VPN will solve everything your problems.
 
There are quite a few players on ACR, not sure exactly how it works, I know that some have said they cant play on other sites.

I've tried that using a vpn and pokerstars blocked my UK account.
Create an account with your real date and if you make deposit with the card, to be your card.
