So what you're saying is that if you sit down in your apartment, enter empirepoker.com, playing for playmoney, then that's fine. But if you sit down in your apartment, enter empirepoker.com and play for $ 5, then you'll get arrested? Doesn't seem like there's any way they can tell the difference?
Anyway - it is illegal to do any sort of gambling (for cash) in Thailand, but how can they arrest you for playing on a site that offers playmoney (for entertainment purposes alone, of course) as well as real money? I mean - if someone knocks on your door, says "itz da POleez", then I guess you could just close the table and say "no, no - this is just for fun..."
Can't really see how they can uphold these laws, and if something were to happen, I guess you could always find a solution to the problem, don't you think? And when it comes to the statistics, that has to be actual physical "sitting in a room with two cards down, and 15k baht on the table with a cigar and a whisky" gambling. As I've understood, playing poker online isn't that uncommon - I'm sure that you know someone who does it.
I'd be quite interested to talk to those who do this, because I need to know how this works. If they want to, they can send me a mail explaining things...
Come on - it's not that hard
