 |
|
| ok, i've just returned to internet poker after a spell and heard about the new legislation, but i'm confused about how it affects my abilitiy to play for real money. although i haven't been able to find specific details, i'm told that internet gambling is now illegal for people in the united states. my confusion stems from the fact that i see people playing at the real money tables listed as being from the united states. can somebody explain the deal to me? thanks. |

new legislation ?....do you mean the one from 2006 ?
If thats what you mean it s only about banking,not about poker.Banks cannot fund gambling sites .
If you mean some other legs ....havnet heard about it.
There is NO US law prohibiting on line poker playing,,some states have such a law,but not the US |
