You guys can call it "censorship" all you want but it doesn't take away from the fact that in the United States you can get in deep trouble for making a wager with a minor over the internet. Of course you'll argue "I had no idea he was only 15!", but the fact that you knowingly played poker at a site that did not even post an age restriction, well, "you should have known better" is what it will come down to.
You can take the risk if you want but I honestly see no point in doing so. Stand up for what you believe in, but this would hardly be the way to go about it. I can give my 5% rake to a poker table that I barely have to worry about technical issues, security, or legality. It has nothing to do with my stance on underage gambling, but all to do with my country's stance on this issue. If I object to that, I'll argue the law and try to change it, not disobey the law and explain myself later.

This is a general question for all gambling sites using bitcoin.
Wont it be good to impose a limit to stop 18 year and under kids from playing.
At least a formal warning and anti addiction messages.

Seriously? You think warnings stop people from doing what they want? Yes, people under 18 are people and choose to do what they want.
Did warnings stop you from watching porn?
Ageism is bigotry. It's been done to us, but we don't have to perpetuate the idea that there is some sub-human cutoff age if we don't want to.
Sorry to derail the thread, I won't discuss it here, but in another thread I'd love to rant for a while.
Yes please! But I can't wait... cannot hold it any longer...
What do warnings do for the user? Absolutely nothing! "No, officer, I didn't see the NO STEALING sign, or I wouldn't have gone for the cash register".
What do warnings do anyway? They serve as 'insurance' for those who don't want to take responsibility, like parents. Yes, I caught my son watching porn and the damn site didn't have a 18 year + warning, or I'm sure he wouldn't have clicked on it...
?It's very late, I might have failed to express my feelings on this, but any kind of censorship is bad, disguise it as you wish. And I know, terrorists, child porn, you name your excuse for controlling everything and everyone, but I just feel that the flip side of the current censorship and control situation is much worse than what they say they want to avoid
And you fill in the 'they' placeholders with whatever form of government you have where you live, it's pretty much all the same everywhere.There, I said it, now off to bed.

I do not care right now about all regulations and stuff like this. If kid was smart enough to find, buy/mint bitcoins - there is no moral right to limit his/her access to bitcoin poker room.
But later - proobably. If this thing will ever take off and bitcoins become second paypal - of course all these details will need to be fixed. But not right now.

I wonder what's about screensize. Was it's easy to play at all? Or you used some sort of zooming?
It seemed easy to me, but I might have just been excited that it worked at all. It was only heads up, so maybe the whole table didn't fit, but it didn't matter. This was over a month ago, I'll try again later today and give a better report.

We need a poker night for the forum. I want to play, but don't want to wait for an opponent and then play heads up.
I'll start and say I'll be here during monday night football, which is 8:30pm ET (on monday) for 3 hours. I don't like to play short handed, meaning I'm bad at it.

That is 2:30PM here which is tough for me, but I'll try.
Ohh, hippich, would it be hard to make it pop to the front of the screen when it is your turn?
Hm.. Interesting feature. I will look into makign it for sure! Thanx!

Finally, I decided to open it. Link already leaked, so no need to hide it anyway.
As a bonus for all beta testers I've deposited some bonuses. =) I did not had a lot of bitcoins, so do not expect a lot tho. =))
Anyway, spreading a word about it is highly welcomed!
Also, I am going to return rake back from now.
