I heard that online gambling is illegal – at least for the state of Texas (where I’m living now), and wanted to know if this is true. I’d like to know where I could go online or off, or what phone call(s) to make, so that I would know for certain.

Answer by anonymous
It is illegal in Texas. The only legal form of gambling in Texas is the lottery. They don’t intend to change the laws on it soon. They just bumped another request to legalize gambling last month. If you want to gamble, even online you need to cross the border. I am about an hour from Louisiana where you can gamble. Also you can hop a ship in Galveston and go out so many miles from shore where it is legal. They have daily trips offshore specifically for gambling.

Answer by pdq
You must be on drugs to think that you will profit from on-line casinos.

They will never cancel your account. You will continue to give them money as long as you’d like.

If you’ve been lucky enough to actually win money, that’s all you’ve been – lucky. You WILL lose. You have NOT figured out some secret method to beat these casinos. They WILL take your money eventually.

If you actually have won some money, I’d strongly suggest trying to withdraw it now while you can.

You won’t. You probably think you’ve figured something out that nobody in history has figured out.

You haven’t. **beating a dead horse now** You will lose.

I want to start gambling online on bodog.com but I’m not sure if it is actually illegal in Illinois. Bodog.com has poker and sports gambling. Would it all be illegal? I want to know before I actually start so I don’t get into trouble.

My friend is 17 years old. He decided to deposit 30 dollars on a poker site via a visa-gift-card. He got it to ,400. He lives where you have to be 18 to legally gamble online. My friend knows that the site will send a check to him and they don’t verify how old you are. So my friend is ready to cash out. He also belongs to bankofamerica. So, my question is… If he were to take a ,400 check to bankofamerica to deposit into his account. Would they accept it? Would they say you are too young? If this is so he could wait till he is 18, but he wants the money asap. What should he do? Any other information about what he could expect in any case with bankofamerica would be great as well. e.p. tax writoffs, questions that could be asked by the bank. ect ect. Please help, thanks

Answer by Mike
Well,

Most likely the check will be in his name and then signed by the person in charge of cutting checks. Most likely there would not be any indication that the check came from a gambling oriented internet site other than a company name. In other words its not going to say “2400 dollars for poker” in the memo section. They would not be aware that it is against the TOS of the casino for minors to play. If anyone asks say its a paycheck.

2400 dollars is quite a large chunk of change but in terms of taxes its not the banks job to check to see that you are recording your taxes properly. In addition if hes not 18 and does not hold a job he most likely doesn’t file forms for the IRS. The only case where a bank might notify someone is if you were depositing thousands of dollars that happen to be in used hundreds, inside briefcases.

My advice, say its a summers paycheck for a company you work for.

My two weeks paychecks were around 800 or 900 dollars and no one batts an eye.

Your only other option is to withdraw it in smaller increments from the web site.

good luck

Just wondering what the reasons are that people are opposed to it, and why it is even an issue. I don’t see the harm in it but maybe I’m overlooking something. Enlighten me?

Answer by darthbouncy
I think it’s just the US government trying to throw its weight and values around the globe. And they’re pissed they can’t get all the tax money. Greedy SOBs.
