The FBI probably has you on a watch list for simply being a member here, much less playing on a poker site.

Start looking over your shoulder my friend.

(c) age. The Regulations provide that no person under the age of eighteen (18) is permitted to participate in UltimateBet(tm) games. In addition, you must be at least of the minimum age required to engage in wagering activities in the jurisdiction where you are located.

Sounds like you set up an account in your Dad's name because you were under 18, and now that you are 18 you want to go "legit" ha.
Anyhow, this is more suited for the "Internet Gambling" section.

Why cash it? Why not deposit it into your account via an ATM?

They prolly couldn't give a crap.
Why don't you just set up a Neteller account and send it to you bank account that way?

It's not legal for you to be gambling, unless you live on an Indian reservation. The appropriate authorities have been notified and will soon arrest both you and your dad. Just ask JJProdigy about him using *his* grandma's account.

The bank will not care. However, why not just use neteller and direct deposit it into your bank account?
