Re: Pokerstars allowing U.S. based company to transfer money to them
[ QUOTE ]
more importantly lawyers for Moneygram (a $2.5Billion U.S. company) must have come to the conclusion that poker is legal.

I wouldn't make that leap. Their clause about gambling
"You may not use the Services to conduct gambling activities or any illegal activity. MoneyGram has the right to terminate your Profile and to refuse to process (or may reverse) any Transfer if it believes, in its sole discretion, that you are using a Service for any illegal or improper purpose"
When you use these services (MG, Western Union), the sender/receiver is usually an individual in a third world country. Its awfully hard for the money services to police that and just as hard for the US government to nail them on it. But, just because it is hard doesn't mean the services believe poker is legal/illegal.
