I heard that last year they were going to make it illegal for US citizens to play REAL MONEY online with overseas websites. is this true? did it ever go through?
I have been on the online gambling scene in awhile.
Does anybody have any info to back this up? really would like to know before i start playing again.
It has always been illegal to play online poker for real money in the US. They just do not enforce it at all. The law passed in 2006 was about the money transfers, they figured instead of trying to stop millions of us from doing it. It would be easier to stop the banks from funding them. It’s a little more difficult to find a site and make a deposit now. It may take you up to 2 minutes to get it done now. So play on!
As for the UK sites I think most of them have stopped taking american players because of the new law.
