To young to play
« on: May 11, 2006, 04:38:27 PM »
Question, how are the poker sites keeping younger children or teenagers out the rooms. It seems to me that they would have a hard time doing it. The reason I'm asking is because of the freerolls. I believe that most of the players are just kids out having some so call fun. Who else in their right mind would call an all in bet with just 7,2. are some other crazy pocket cards. With TV bring the game into the lime light and kids today all having their own pc, quess what? I have found some infor on the web that some poker sites are changing their freerolls to where you have to have so many poinst or play so many hands before you can entered into the freeroll, thus keeping the kids out. I was in a room the other nite, and their was a person who admits to being a teenager and he was just having some fun entering the freerolls. He didn't care if he would win or not just wants to "enjoy" getting people upset with his crazy calls. He says theres enought freerolls out there to keep him busy for a few hours each day and more on the wkends when he dosn;'t have school. Someimtes then can steal a password to one of the forums freerolls and play in them tell their caught. Again what are the poker sites doing about it??

I know what your saying I have run into a few of them. The sites need to ask for a valid credit card just to verify age requirements. If the player doesn't have a credit card need to send in a valid drivers license which could easily be scanned and emailed for verification. Just a little more work for the site and it would make it better for everyone. Of course this would only be for players that don't deposit.

I don't think that would help much. You can alwyas "borrow" your dads or moms credit card or drivers lic with no problems at all. So come to think of it, it would almost be impossible for the sites to stop teenagers from playing.
