Hey all. Was just curious if any of you living in the States most affected by the recent legislation are still playing online poker. Specifically, you are living in one the following States:
Illinois Indiana Louisiana - felony to play online poker for real money in the US Michigan Nevada New Jersey New York Oregon South Dakota Washington - felony to play online poker for real money in the US Wisconsin I mean I know there´s no technical issue with playing, was just wondering if any of you are ¨taking the risk¨ and still playing. Or do you think there even is a risk? |

SC was mentioned as a danger state. I still play. Its also against the law to have sex in any position but missionary in SC from what I understand. I can beat my wife on the courthouse steps on sundays, but i must bring a rifle to church. I also have tattoos. And finally I grew up playing monopoly, which according to state law is forbidden because it uses dice.

I'm sure there are thousands of players playing from these states. What are the potential "technical" issues after the regs - you mean bigger sites denying access to players becasue it's illegal for them (assuming off shore company cares about US law)? Or are you referring to the illegality of players playing from these state?
I see the risks of the regs being more geared towards financial transactions - not so much the ability to play online form these states. |

IF, and only IF the regulations allow poker as currenty other 'skill' card games are allowed then presumably to comply sites would adhere to current laws in place that they abide by.
for instance, King.com iis located in the U.K. and blocks access to those states for financial transactions . Additionally, if cash outs for a given year total 600.00 or more once that 600.00 threshold is reached you must provide tax info to site that can be used to generate at 1099 form sent to you and the IRS. If your account balance reaches 10K (or a total of that for a year) then you must fill out a foreign financial account statement that is given toi the IRS. I would think all sites would agree to the 'SKILL' games rules to do business, a small price to pay in book keeping work in exchange. A Note: These rules are in place and really are the ONLY rules needed. Any site NOT following those simple rules, for me, would be suspect to play at anyway. I would prefer a site that does since there is some over site for protection for me. The players in the other states would need to get their state law changed. obg [ QUOTE ] I'm sure there are thousands of players playing from these states.

Like most legislation, there is no easy way to enforce it.

Okay, how do you blow coke, smoke pot AND perform oral sex concurrently ?
Prior to the demise of NakedPoker, mixing poker and porn were relatively easy. |

At the next IGREA hearing, Rep. Bachus will ask a witness:
[ QUOTE ] You think poker is harmless? Hmmm? Hmmmm? Are you aware that a poker player writing on a poker web site admits that he not only plays poker in the comfort of his own home in NY, but that he watches porn, performs oral sex AND smokes pot and blows coke? Hmmmmm? Hmmmmmmmm? [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |
