wincen Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I like to play poker tournements online and make a few thousand a month doing it. When I was in thailand 6 months ago I bought these dial packages for 600 baht for one month unlimited. I used it in the hotels I was staying at. It seemed fairly reliable except for www.pokerstars.com . Do they block gambling sights since gambling is illegal in Thailand? I will be renting for 6 months there in about a month. Will a more reliable service help? Will ADSL be any different? I will have a direct phone line where ever I lease for 6 months. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 www.pokerstars.com Works for me using Hi-net ADSL They do (attempt to) block some sites, but you can reach any of them by using a proxy. Gambling is illegal ooohh except for the lottery..why ? is that not gambling as much as a game of Hi-Lo or poker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 No problems accessing it with True ADSL neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Boy Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I would'nt recommend using True internet for online gambling, it has a habit of cutting out @ the worst times, so a friend tells me. This may not bother u if u play limit with all-in protection or NL with all-in which I think pokerstars has, but correct me if im wrong, yer screwed in a multi if it cuts half way thru a hand Gambling on the net in thailand isnt illegal. During the euro 2004 cup a police spokesman said that it was only illegal if bets were layed by someone using the internet to people in thailand. Apparently it isnt even illegal to use a thai credit card to gamble online, provided the servers/site and banking provider they use are located outside thailand. Though you would be breaking the law if you never declared winnings that were paid to a thai account for taxation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
