I'm playing in a home game tonight, and the host is raving about playing on Poker Academy.
"Do you play for money online?" I ask.
"No," he replies. "It's illegal."
"No, it's not."
His friend pipes up. "I heard you can't sign up anymore. I think you're grandfathered in if you already had an account."
"No, no," I say. "You can sign up. The only set-back is that getting your money out can be a bit dicey-"
"I've heard," the second guy says, "people are selling their accounts to people who want to play."
I told them that I've never heard of this, and maybe he's thinking about swapping money between sites.
At any rate, these are two people who play 2-3 times per week, and one of them plays constantly on the Poker Academy, who have been kept away because of what they think they know about the 'poker ban.'
Just shows how important it is to get correct info out there to prospective players.
