FYI, it isn't just Poker Stars that offers the .net and .com download options.

As Asst said, .net is always just play money on all sites and that includes the ability to play most real money freerolls.

Full Tilt advertises their .net on Dutch television since they are not allowed to promote real money play.

It's the same in the US for Pokerstars and FTP

When you go to baggage claim in Vegas, look around, last year there were Pokerstars.net banners everywhere

umm, no, lol we dont have .net or .com on anything. We're a poker forum, not an online poker site.

But we do own the .net and co.uk extensions for HPC in case we ever need them.
