I'm not suprsied that with 80,000 members that there is one dumb enough to post this idea.

Problems:
1) I'm pretty sure internet gambling is illegal for anybody under 18 in most countries.
2) We have extradition treaties with most countries.
3) I don't want to know what a prison in Thialand looks like.

4) In most countries where the poor 14-year-olds have the basics to master a poker strategy, they will have better oppertunities than your slave labor idea. And even in the poorest African countries, there are often black market oppertunities. Those Nigeria scam emails are very profitable.

5) Even if 4) does not hold, these kids are smart. They will pool their money and start a team on their own.

6) $30/month is not a fortune in most places, especially not those with where poor 14 year olds have an education. $1/day is half the world poverty line of $2/day.

7) They could easily donk away your money to their friends.
