Hey 👋@balo This feature IS in our roadmap for the upcoming year, so hopefully sooner than later but can't say an exact time

Suspected legal reasons .
Although you could make an exception for Austria, any other room aside from unibet and PP are ignoring this since from the start .
no pokerroom has a license for Austria since we never ever issued one to any room 😜

Hey! I wish we could allow anyone who wants to play to play. Unfortunately, there are many legal restrictions and regulations surrounding online poker, which we must abide by.

This may be a case of "better ask for forgiveness than permission" for some companies.
There is "gray" in many countries that choose not to regulate and leave things open for interpretation. On the other hand, nothing is to say they won't suddenly regulate tomorrow or decide on other random legal repercussions.

Nonono we don't choose to not regulate. Pokerrooms choose to ignore our laws with a good excuse since our legal situation is technically against EU law

I'm not a lawyer so can't go in the technicalities of the local vs EU laws, but you exposed the complexity of the issue.

Me neither but my fiancé hence why I know a little about it

 

[Marshmalo1994]

Are you pleasantly surprised?

I was expecting to find lower stakes, with $0.80-$1 of minimum buy in

 

[skaterick]

there are not many choices for most US players .

I know You should speak with your congressman about it

What do you do to get rid of the itch, Any cool place to play near you?

I wish you could change the daily CC freerolls to turbos, right now it takes almost 4 hours just to finish inside top 13 for the tickets. 10 min levels. I think many players agree with me.

 

[FastOne]

I'm trying to make a deposit at WPT with Bitcoin.

I'm using Binance and it seems they are charging me 0.0002 Bitcoin for the deposit. Does anybody know if this fee is avoidable? I mean, is about 13$.

I totally disagree if you put faster blind it will turn into a bingo fest again..Always nice to have playability and not a game who turn into super turbo after few blinds.

I agree with you. I like it the way it is.

 

[doom]

[doom]

Maybe turbos for sunday and saturday when there are more players and a lot more premium tournaments

Hi Ami,

I've recently started seeing human verification prompts start to show up in WPTG. Is this a recent addition to the platform and will WPTG be transparent about how many bots are being intercepted on the site?

@puzzlefish Thank you for your patience. The human verification prompts are not new/recent and have been going on for some time.

Regarding transparency about bots, we're working with our partners to share more information about this and other topics related to our integrity enforcement. This should happen soon; I'll tag you when it's released.

@Poker Orifice At minimum a hoodie!
Seeing you from Canada, did you happen to attend the last Winter Festival @playground?

In case you were thinking about taking advantage of the merch drop, there is also a St Patricks Day Global Spin Give Away promotion that started yesterday.

I've actually never plalyed at the Playground... 'yet'.
I'm on the other side of the country - - Interior of B.C. (7hrs. west of Calgary, 6hrs. east of Vancouver)

 

[Poker Orifice]

Just an idea i had.Why not give silver and platinum members some free ticket for ur existing freerolls like the king of cash or smth like that without having to do the challenges?

Booo! NOOOO!!!
It's a promo for the cash table players on their site (not for the freeroll whores). Just man up and play the 2x 100 hands. It's really so little effort to qualify

I hate cash game .Specially on that site since they dont have beginners stake and they got that 3 blind non sens...I was sure it was 100 hands to qualify but if its 200 even less chance ill ever do it
