PokerStars is owned and operated by a legal entity located in the Isle Of Man (a crown dependency of the United Kingdom) and we pride ourselves on abiding by all relevant laws and regulations.

Our terms of service make it clear that our services are not for use in jurisdictions where it is illegal to do so. We hope that you will appreciate that we have players from a vast number of countries around the world, and it would be impossible for us to remain updated as to the legal situation in every jurisdiction. We therefore encourage our members to evaluate the local laws which apply to them before they begin to use our services in relation to "real money" games in any country.

If you have any further questions about this or any other matter, please do not hesitate to ask.

Good luck to you, and thank you for choosing PokerStars.
