Re: Cashing Out of Pokersites Through Checks
[ QUOTE ]
Yes.
Poker sites do not sit at the table and play. ALL betting and wagering is done by players. The UIGE Act even defines what activity constitutes making a "bet or wager" to include an assumption of risk on the outcome. A sportsbook and a casino assume risk when they accept or make a bet as the House. A poker site does not.

Well, no disrespect to you intended, but your interpretation of this Act is bogus. The act outlaws the facilitation of placing bets or wagers on-line. The fact that players are wagering against each other does not change the fact that the on-line pokerroom is facilitating this.
