PokerStars allowing int’l players to join France-Spain liquidity pool
PokerStars’ new shared liquidity pool between players in France and Spain is also open to players outside those two countries.
This week, The Stars Group’s flagship site PokerStars began pooling online poker liquidity between its locally licensed sites in France and Spain. Stars is the first site licensed in both jurisdictions to pool cross-border liquidity since Spain published its liquidity sharing regulations on the Official State Gazette on Monday.
Surprisingly, the announcement of the liquidity launch by PokerStars.fr rep ‘PokerStars Benjamin’ in the ClubPoker forum also informed players that “non-resident players in France or Spain will be able to play on the pool by registering on the .ES. License, with the exception of residents of a country subject to a national regulation.”
In other words, provided that your home territory doesn’t have its own domestic regulated online poker market, you’re welcome to sign up via PokerStars.es and dive into the Franco-Spanish pool. Players from various European markets have since confirmed their ability to register with PokerStars.es and start playing against Spanish and French players.
