Wrong. You CAN cash out...they can send you a check or put it into a 3rd party account like epassporte.

 

I'm leaving work now but if you guys have any poker questions just post them here or PM me and i'll be glad to answer them as best i can or point you in the right direction. I'll be checking this thread tomorrow morning.

 

After reading the article it sounds like its legal, but the only thing is the means of funding the playing. Many politicans will claim it is illegal and in violation of the Wire Act, but the Wire Act does not apply to online gambling, only sports betting. So what the new bill does is make it illegal for banks to make payments to offshore gambling sites, that may or may not be limited to checks as well. However, if you use a 3rd party payment processor such as NETeller, they are offshore as well, you pay them, which is not an offshore gambling site, they are allowed to pay the gambling site since they are out of US jurisdiction and vice-versa for cashing out. You can do money orders as well, as long as the bank doesnt make the actual payment to the casino, because that would put them in violation. Guess im loading up my RVP!

 

cmon rrasco! lets play some $1 sit n gos!

 

I just looked at my account, they must of taken my last few credits, i had like $5-10 still in there. Where do you play at cat?

 

pokerstars...tamayo85

 

At least playing online, you guys wouldn't see me twitch everytime I get four aces. So, Catman, do you really play the players rather than the cards when you are playing live? I don't think I could ever play without giving my hand away!

 

yea you gotta play the players, there are a million different little subconcious things the human body does that can give you a hint whether they're strong or weak...buy the book Read 'em and Reapby joe navarro, former FBI special agent...gives some good insight into the subject, its completely changed my poker game

 

Is that the best book on tells? I don't have that one yet...have you read other tell books and found this one to be superior or is this the only one you've read?

Btw if you wanna get poker books (or any books for that matter) dirt cheap you can go on amazon.com, half.com, or ebay.com and they all have "used" books that you can buy from private sellers...it'll tell you what condition they're in and a lot of the time you can find ones that are new and have never been read, for like 1/3 or less than the new price.

 

i was just talking to one of my co-workers about this yesterday after this topic came up. he was one of the ones who told me it was illegal. im into the online thing, i can run around my house, do what i need to do and still win me some scrilla! i think i would get womped at a casino.
