Who all does it, and where do you do it. I used to do it and wells fargo blocked everything now for me to put money into, to gamble. Isnt it illegal to do and will I get it trouble if I just do a direct check to the company and have them put it in like that so wells fargo can't deny my transactions. What do you all think?

It varies from state to state. Thats why its illegal to gamble in Texas, but you can go catch one the boats and as soon as you get in international water you can gamble.

Save the money you would spend on online gambling and use it to go to Vegas.

you use a channeling site like neteller or sportsbook something or other to send those places money, then they send that company money, then it comes back to your account.
bank cant close that down,(i wouldnt think) as the funds come from a paypal like money sending place...


bodog is pretty cool to play for fun too.
they have alot of tables but not as many dipshits as some of the HUGE places...

bodog is a great site if your a decent online player, if not i would stay away

if your just begining online (doesnt matter how good you are live) i would go to full tilt, great site for all types of play.

once you get online skills head over to bodog and check your chances

If you want to play poker most of the sites use companies like Neteller to transfer funds into. Basically you'll sign-up on Neteller, deposit money from your bank account into Neteller, and then from Neteller into the online site. Then when you want to withdrawl your winnings the money goes from the online site back into Neteller and then into your bank account.

Besides, the online sites are all based in Europe or off-shore, which helps make it a bit more legal. I believe it's only when you transfer the winnings into your bank account and don't count it as taxable income that it becomes illegal. At least that is how I understand it.

I've got accounts on Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, and Full Tilt, but I only really play on Full Tilt anymore. It's the easiest to use IMO. There are going to be donkeys anywhere you play, though.

Ive played ultimate bed, bodog, party poker, and full tilt.

I think full tilt is by far the best site to play on.
