ok so it says that aggravated gambling is a felony in wisconsin and it defines aggravated as professional gambling.

does that mean that if you were an online poker pro in wisconsin you could be charged with a felony??

No, you misunderstood. You need to read the following again:
[ QUOTE ]
The distinction between "simple" and "aggravated" gambling is also one that varies from state to state. That terminology may not be used in a state's criminal law at all. It may be phrased as mere "gambling" versus "professional gambling." It may come into play only based on second or third violations of a given criminal prohibition. The approach used in compiling the chart is generally based on the presence of professional gambling, which involves those who make money on the contest or game other than as and on an equal footing with a mere player.
