Hi guys,

next month I am going to the USA for a year to a Highschool even though I have no host family yet

Basically my question: can I poker on Pokerstars with an american IP with my german account? At the moment I'm only playing Freeroll tournaments to train a bit but I'd like to play with friends for micro stakes soon.

Thanks!

Crap, thanks for the answer.

Btw, do I spell American IP and German account with a capital latter? I have a feeling it is wrong.

No, proper nouns/adjectives are spelled with capital letters, as are initialisms.

You'll have to set up a tunnel or a VPN. Or let your home computer turned on and control it from the US.

your host family won't like the idea of you spending a lot of time on the computer, FYI

because a main point of being an exchange student is to experience the culture, which isn't really feasible if you are online a lot
