well this kids life is ruined......

holy shit this kid got boned up the ass for the following reason.

I made my account on Poker Stars when I was 16 when the MAC platform came out because I was on Full Tilt mostly.

And the day I cashed out was when I turned 18 because I had to send in my info and Poker Stars sent me an email stating that they didnt care that I was underaged when I created my account. So if this kid just goes under the radar for the max of 12 months who knows might of only been a month till he turned 18 but he gets away with this. I wish I still had that email from poker stars

Kid broke the rules, it's not like the rules weren't there in black and white to begin with.
Good job PS.

p.s. Phil Ivey played in NJ casinos under age, it's common knowledge, yet that story seems to be glorified.

phil never got caught though.

lesson learned = dont get caught! duh..winning

They don't chop the whole thing , a certain % has to be left to play for.

They chopped it all and played for the car.

if he kept his mouth shut and waited til he was 18 to withdraw money he might have been OK, but his cockyness looks like it has buried him

Exactly very dumb on his part.

Has stars reached any resolution yet?

Kid is an idiot. And people saying he deserves the money are crazy.

Wouldn't say the kid is an idiot. Have you ever cashed for 500k in a poker tourney? PokerStars is just waiting until he turns 18 so they can recruit him.

The pokerstars has the authority to do that, now this is a learning leason for all of the poker gamers out there.
