Default Re: Legality and Withdrawl

There is nothing illegal about withdrawing money from a poker site.

A transaction over 10K is generally subject to reporting requirements, with some exceptions. The poker sites dont do any reporting, of course, but you or your bank may be required to (you have to wait for the financial experts to respond or look it up yourself). Not doing the reporting if you are required to is a serious crime. So is structuring transactions to avoid the requirement.

Those reports of over 10K transactions do get to the IRS.
