Question about Internet Poker?

[admin]

Hello miliani,

Internet poker is not "officially illegal" in the USA, what is illegal is that banks and financial institutions (credit card companies etc) are no longer allowed to accept or process payments or transactions that deal with online poker rooms or casinos. Residents of the USA can still gamble as they did before they just can´t deposit or withdraw funds like they used to.

Many of the big online gambling names decided to stop accepting US players after this law was passed though I am not sure why. Other big names like Full Tilt and Poker Stars will still accept US players but you have to find another deposit method. [b]Neteller[/b] is a popular payment processing engine that will still allow deposits to casinos from US residents and many casinos use this a preferred deposit method anyway. I know that http://www.laislacasino.com, http://www.megakings.com, http://www.casino.com and http://www.888.com all accept neteller transactions.

Therefore there is no penalty for being caught playing online, you just cant make a payment to an online casino from a bank or credit card company. Give neteller a try.

I hope this helps.
