扑克之星 pokerstars 如何发现美国玩家使用-V=P-N=？

美国扑克玩家已收到消息，扑克之星 pokerstars已冻结那些通过虚拟专用网（-V=P-N=）打扑克的玩家帐户，这对他们是又一次打击。扑克之星是根据司法部（DOJ）采取行动的，该规则说明，不允许任何来自美国本土的玩家打扑克。 -V=P-N=本应该被很多美国玩家认为创建了一个安全的避风港，但是扑克之星似乎能发现这个漏洞。

下面是扑克之的条款和规则的第5.11点，如下：

Residents of the United States and United States Territories are not permitted to make deposits into their accounts or engage in real-money play. They may cash out their existing account balances. Residents of other nations are not permitted to engage in real-money play while located in the United States. Any attempt to circumvent the restrictions on play by residents of the U.S. or U.S. Territories, and by residents of other nations while located in the United States, is a breach of this Agreement. An attempt at circumvention includes, but is not limited to, manipulating the information used by PokerStars to identify your location and providing PokerStars with false or misleading information regarding your residence.

扑克之星是如何识别出这些账户的呢？当这些玩家们暂时断开-V=P-N=，这个时候IP地址不再被隐藏，它会揭示玩家所在的真实位置，再打开他们的账户就会被冻结。

扑克之星的网站上的FAQ也因此增加了一个问题：
“Can I use a -V=P-N= or IP randomizer to appear as though I am outside the US and still play on PokerStars.com from within the United States?”

给出的答案如下：
No. Real money play is not allowed from within the US under any circumstances. Players who attempt to play for real money from inside the US with the aid of -V=P-N=s or other technical workarounds will lose their playing privileges and/or funds in their account.

这也意味着来自其他国家的居民无法通过在美国的-V=P-N=打扑克了，因为账户可能被冻结。这正好说明美国司法局规则并不宽松，在线扑克公司和玩家应一如以往谨慎使用任何网站。

扑克之星是黑色星期五被起诉的网站之一，并且一直致力于支付玩家资金。在这种情况下，仍不清楚会发生什么事，扑克之星VIP经理史蒂夫承认他们“不知道将发生什么。”

他还补充说，“帐户被冻结，然后我们等待来自美国司法部的独立调解人的指导下处理这些帐户的资金，并在未来如何对待这些账户。“

玩家将有信心这些钱将最终回到到自己的帐户，它只是表明，现在在美国打扑克是高风险业务。
