Default Re: The FBI says we can\'t play online....

It is extremely dishonest for the FBI to make such statements. Do they mean the online bridge sites are illegal? Cribbage? How about those sites linked by OBG that offer online Spades and Hearts (and are based in the US no less)?

And even if you were to ignore the above, the Federal Courts have already ruled that no federal law applies to online card games. To the extent Federal law like the UIGEA incorporates state law, state law varies from state to state of course, and not all states prohibit online card games, in fact not most.

Its one thing to present an opinion on line, its quite another to present an opinion as fact that is clearly wrong on one level, and at least misleading on another. But hey, its our FBI right, they can do no wrong, they are heroes. You must be a terrorist if you have a problem with this.
