Default Re: Am I liable to pay for poker debt accrued now that poker is banned???

Sorry, but this is bad, or at least incomplete, information. There are many reported (i.e. published) cases where courts have enforced gambling debts, including poker debts.

It depends on the laws of the pertinent jurisdiction. My understanding of the new federal law is that it only applies to gambling that's already illegal under state law. In other words, you can't use the internet to make wagers that would otherwise be illegal.
