Yahoo Getting Into Poker, Outside The U.S.

window.document.getElementById(‘post-3845’).parentNode.className += ‘ adhesive_post’;Yahoo UK is launching a poker website, where users can play online poker with their real money. The site is accessible from almost every country on the planet, except the United States and Gibraltar. Not sure what Gibraltar’s problem is, but here in the U.S., we believe in propping up unearned monopolies based in two cities, Indian reservations, and government-run horse gambling parlors.
In other words, we take a moral stance!
Ugh.
Anyway, if your country allows it, you can sign up for Yahoo Poker by going here. Players get a $1000 bonus when transferring in their first deposit. Yahoo’s smartly limited players from depositing more than 1000 Pounds into the game every ten days, somewhat limiting how fast players can ruin their lives with a gambling problem.
