YOU GAMBLE EVERYTIME YOU BUY BREAD. any form of transaction with uncertantity is gambling due to heisenbergs uncertainty principle EVERYTHING is gambling and has to be tret using probability. This happened at the turn of the 1900's I hope you enjoyed your history and maths lesson. Now can the right wing religious folken with their moral high ground please go and live in another country for a significant period of time. | ||

You realise this is nothing to do with right wing religious nuts and everything to do with the US governments intention of eventually making the internet in the USA more like the Chinese internet right? | ||

From that FBI poster: "For the persons engaged in the business of betting or wagering, it is also a federal crime to knowingly accept, in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling, credit, electronic fund transfers, or checks." I'm not into all the legal mumbo jumbo, but doesn't that sound like they're saying the players (within their jurisdiction) are on their radar too? I haven't seen this discussed yet in this thread. from the sounds of that poster i would say yes. only time will tell really, but i was never aware of any law pertaining to internet poker or games of skill. in some areas of the US it was already proven in court to be a game of a skill. Though i wouldnt worry about this to much until the big case involving the sites is actually done. | ||

You cant rly think that the sites have the available funds to pay out when everyone is trying to withdraw their bank rolls because of fear of losing the money. It will be the 1930s depression all over again, every player rushing to get their money out again. Actually yes, they do. Legit poker sites keep deposits separate from their own funds. | ||

They claim to keep customers' money segregated and handled by a third party financial institution. But which institution is it? Where is it based? What kind of account is the money kept in? What are the terms between pokerstars and this institution? Are the accounts in customers' names? | ||
