You don't really think you can sue somebody for screwing you in an illegal activity do you?

Online poker isn't illegal

No, but funding an account in the United States is. The court isn't going to order PS to fund a U.S. citizens account. DUCY?

This also is not true.

Maybe I misunderstand the law then, I don't know. Why did Firepay, Neteller, et al all stop funding online poker sites from the US if it's not illegal though?

[/ QUOTE ]

The NETeller execs were indicted for funding sports books which is a violation of the Wire Act. The UIGEA restricts bank transfers INTO online gaming sites in States that have existing laws prohibiting online gaming.

There currently exists no federal or state law that prohibits US citizens from having money transferred to them from online gaming sites.
