    All great news for him but what does this do for the integrity of Poker Stars? He's been gambling on their site since he was 16. Lets Review...

    Default Underage players

    That's some nice investigative work...

    Be interesting to hear what Pokerstars say about that.

    What percentage of online players really are under-age, do you think? 5? 20? 30?

    I'm sure the pct. is pretty high. It's just he point if they really don't give a shit about this, then i'm thinking they don't give a shit about multi-accounting, etc. and they shouldn't flaunt this as a selling point in their TOS and responsible gaming marketing.. Plus it sucks for any chance of the US legalizing online poker.

    lol.. Actually thats great for him. The real issue is the lax of sites letting this happen. It just makes getting online poker universal legitimacy that much more difficult. And it it more of an uphill battle than Barney and Al would have you believe.
