am i a criminal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i am reading all the time about legal olp efforts for usa players, i also read that it is legal to play olp. i also read that some of the sites that offer olp now to usa players will not be able to for five years after new laws are passed. so am i breaking the law by playing now and is my money safe on these sites if new laws are passed??
My understanding of the rules is that the illegality is on the end of the BANKS to accept the money (which is why Full Tilt got in trouble because they had some crooked accounting practices). I've cashed out from ACR and had no problem.
I wouldn't let to much build up before cashing some of your money out. I'm a micro player so I dont' win much. But when I hit around three hundred and fifty,,, I draw out three hundred. Never know what's going to happen online.
Carbon, ACR, BCP, and Bovada have all given me no problem withdrawing, but there are loopholes these skins are taking to avoid US law similar to riverboats. As long as these sites keep their accounts and our segregated accounts offshore, we should be okay until everything is regulated in the US. I would take the advice you were given and withdraw frequently versus building a huge bankroll to lose if anything were to happen.
The whole black Friday thing is just b.s. when the figure out how many times they can tax the poker sites then it will be legal
I agree with scooter, tax tax tax, lol
The government wasn't getting it's money, therefore, you can't do it. The more fun something is, the more the government needs to tax it.
Yes sir Uncle Sam need to get his cut...can't have him broke now can we?
Criminal.... No, I'm a rebellious libertarian! (I'm actually an Independent)
The question of me being a criminal was meant as a joke really! It's insane that law enforcement could come and arrest me for playing a game online. But they technically could if they decided to. Its sort of like what is going on with states declaring marijuana legal, allowing the growers/farmers and dispensaries/clinics setup operation in plain view of everyone with licenseing and legal guidelines to follow. Then the FED pick and choose which ones they will attack. Repelling from military helos in special forces uniforms, full light body armor with full auto carbine assault rifles into a farm or garden to kill some plants. - Sounds like $ well spent LMFAO
-- THE END IS NEAR --
The Feds like it that way because it gives them an excuse. Its not about the reefer. And it's certainly not about the way people feel. Recently in NC they preemptively struck down a medical marijuana bill. They threw it out before discussing it saying "They were receiving so many calls and emails in expressing favor for the bill that they were feeling "harassed".
idk i never cash out so maybe when i try something wil happen
nope, just expect taxes to come when legalized again lol
yep they will surely hit you up for taxes!!! LOL
Just dont let your money get to high. Until the poker sites get shut down, I wouldnt worry about anything. The high rollers are the only ones that need to be worried. It wouldnt affect most peoples lives if the sites got shut down. I hope something gets done fast so playing on other sites like Pokerstars and ft will be legal again.
Yea, I know if I want to play legally in the next few years I'll have to move out of the "Bible-belt". I'm concerned about the taxing though and how they will do it. My bet is they will tax winnings everywhere. but, elsewhere also tax entry fees and in some states not account for losses when taxing winnings.
feeling SO patriotic right now lolol
no im not ,, i always do only good things ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:cool:
idk if ur a criminal but NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER
well i guess we'll all no soon since las vegas annoonced they will be opening an online casino, i cant wait wooohoooo
am i a criminal for being a freeroll ho ???????
Do you live in Nevada? For the time being each state that is allowing online poker, online casinos, online sports betting or horses (and each state is different) Is only intrastate, And there expecting to make it interstate later. But still it will only apply to states that deem it legal.Quote:

Even if you are breaking the law, the fact that you are even morally concerned alludes to the fact that you are most likely not a criminal. Unjust laws do not require observance. As a matter of fact almost all of our heroes are criminals in the eyes of someone at some point.
Where can I find info on this?

No, if these gambling sites are available to play then your not breaking the law.
There are actually a few states (Washington being one) where it is illegal for someone to participate in any online gambling.Quote:

If you're a criminal, then most of us are as well, I hear some sites pay off, just takes a while.
lmfao the only criminals were the guys in charge of full tilt and most of the people working for these offshore asian companies tryin to swindle americans out of money.. they constantly overcharge credit cards and are not there to help us.. its like a casino. The only reason we play is because we WANT too plain and simple.. some of us win big and lose big.. or some of us dont win at all lol. Where do you fall?
