Exchange US IP address for Canadian ones...or, How to drink your liquor out of teacups!
[Monday, February 12, 2007]

If anyone still needs proof of how the UIGEA American anti-gambling law is being side-stepped, right, left and center, here it is. There is a way for American poker players to appear online as if they were Canadians.
|
Does this remind anyone of speak-easies in the 1920s when righteous citizens in dry states would quietly sip their 43% alcohol tea' in teacups? It should, because the essence of Prohibition is the same.
Americans wanting to play online poker are finding sites that use Canadian-based servers. They then find a Canadian residential address that contain a common last name and then apply a program that redirects the IP address so it appears that a Canadian user is trying to access the site. If the players don't know how to do this themselves, no doubt there will be many businesses springing up to offer such redirection' for a modest fee.
The betting is that the US Government's anti-gambling position is simply pushing the activity underground.
