Pokerstars bonus code
Pokerstars is still the largest online poker site in the world, even though they are not offering real money games in the United States anymore. It seems that a new online poker legislation should rapidly been enacted in the US, but pokerstars will probably not been allowed to get a license there for a long time given that they are currently sued by the Department of Justice for money laundering and other frauds related to online gambling.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Pokerstars is the dominating force in European online poker. This is a much more segmented market and indeed the American market may look more and more like it, as each State can decide to ban or to regulate online poker once a clear federal law has been implemented. So in Europe each country has its specific legislation.
In France for example a new online gambling law was voted in 2010 that regulates online poker. Online casinos are totally banned and online sports betting is very tightly regulated in order to protect the Government operators such as PMU. For online poker each operator must obtain a license from ARJEV and this is a stringent process. Pokerstars got one, so if you use the code marketing pokerstars you can register there.
In Italy only online poker in the form of tournaments is offered, but no ring games. On the other hand Great Britain is a very free country when it comes to online gambling and most types of games or betting are allowed. The UK has a very long history of allowing all sorts of gambling games and some of their bookmakers were created in the nineteenth century.
In Germany people play online poker as well, but they are working on regulations that may change that. Most other European countries do not have a clear online gaming as well. Some countries are heavens for gambling operators, such as the Isle of Man, Malta or Cyprus. These small island states benefit from their status as a sovereign land to allow and license gambling in order to collect fees and attract businesses.
Segmented is the word in online gambling and the trend will only get stronger.
