  I am browsing tournaments that I can play and I just found an interesting one:

  http://www.wgt.com/tournaments/details.aspx?ID=3a4858fd-65d5-461c-850a-9e3e0188e0d7

  500cr and I have to shot 70 for my chance for the second place. Not easy at all but challenging and atractive.

  "Surprise" comes when I find that I'm not eligible for the tournament because only 5 european countries are included on the list (GER, NOR, NED, IRL, UK). I'm afraid this is because those countries have some "good" legislation that affect this game.

  Is this correct? Does anyone know any information about what has to change in Spain (or any other country) in order to be eligible for this (or other like this) tournaments?

  Thank you!!

  We didn´t used to be able to play in any tournaments, so I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky that we can play in nearly all of them now. Those that we still can´t play... it´s been like that for a long time now, so I guess it will stay like that forever.

  Thank you seveking,

  do you know if there's any reason for this?

  Maybe I should write someone from the staff. I'm just curious, nevertheless this is a very good game.

  I would like to know why

  Its very frustrating participate and pay for it without any prize! It's not fair.

  I don´t know the exact details, but it´s all because of the gaming laws, which are different from one country to another.

  OK then. I am aware there is going to be some changes in gaming laws in Spain next year. I hope this will change this situation.
