Permanently Banned from PokerStars and Full Tilt

Coming Back In three years!

Hey everyone, first I like to say thanks for everyone who commented. I’ve read everyone's post and do disagree/ agree with many of you. I do feel that I did make a wrong doing and the punishment was only fair to a certain extent. I've thought a lot about this and decided to appeal my account again in 3 years. Some people said that the age of 17 and 18 is no different while others disagree. As I do feel this is right that it is different, punishing me for only playing under age gambling for 2 months seems very harsh though. I did lie about playing under age as well as make a second account from my own id. My plan was to delete the account I was playing initially and continue with my new account I created . Honestly I feel I wasn't thinking very bright when replying to PokerStars nor even handling the situation altogether. I've could of given them my mother’s ID and then ask them to remove her account and keep mine. But to really think about it, if I did so, PokerStars would have definitely seen through this as both accounts being played by the same person. Altogether I made a mistake and now I have to pay the punishment. I'm currently playing at 888 poker, which is a pretty good site in my humble opinion- and I plan to move my full game to MTT's at local casinos.

casinos have to protect their gaming licenses....and....they're sometimes a bit shady too..

I play a poker series at a local casino 3 times a year. the poker series allows 18+ years old to play so they fly in from all over the country....but the actual casino is 21+ for table games and such.

well, I have this friend who is an excellent 18 year old player. would win money in poker then go play craps and blackjack and lose a few hundred of it. This went on for a few nights. On his last night when the poker series was ending he was up $600 at a blackjack table and they came an confiscated his winnings and kicked him out.

now....they knew full well he was the same guy who had been losing the previous nights, but now that he wasn't giving action on the poker tables, and was winning at blackjack all of a sudden it was a problem.

glad that they banned you, breaking the rules deserves punishment if you can't figure out the simple fact that the site is 18+ you probably shouldn't be anywhere near the two best poker sites out there by miles

wow, really?

my grandpa dropped out of high school at age 17 and lied about his age to join the navy and go fight in WW2. Maybe he should he have just died on the battlefield as "punishment" and then this pesky girl wouldn't even be alive to win your money at poker?

so clearly he was playing cash underage hence why all his details where on the account i fail to see why he tried to open up a second account when he should of just left the one opened he had and then he wouldn't of had this problem

Whether it was fair or unfair it doesn't make a difference.They made a decision and now your stuck with it .Life is about change and how you adapt to it,Look at us americans who broke no rules but,are on a permanent ban from Poker stars and Full tilt.Besides, your only 18 and permanent is a long time.Chances are you'll get married one day and you can always play on your wives account,being the property will be split in the event of a break up.

That was pretty harsh, but in life we all make mistakes hopefully we learn from them. Believe me, there are many other poker sites other than Full Tilt and Poker Stars, where you can join if you are a legal age. Best wishes to you, always.
