Not sure if any of you know but I enjoy playing poker during my spare time. I play mostly Hold'em on full tilt with two friends of mine. We go into tournaments and try to get to the top and we split the winnings. Overtime we've collected tens of thousands of dollars (money that will be split three ways) and we never cashed out (it takes a while to get the money even when you do cash out). Here is the article: blogs.forbes.com/nathanvardi/2011/04/15/founders-of-worlds-biggest-online-poker-companies-indicted/I'm in a sour mood at the moment and I may be off the boards for quite a bit. |

I heard about this. I play on pokerstars, but didn't have any money in the account at the time. Is your money frozen? Will not be able to withdraw... even in the future? |

I'm sure that you'll somehow be able to cash out
Read that story though, huge for the poker community
Also affects the MMA world in a roundabout way

at this point you gotta try to withdraw now, Pokerstars isnt allowing deposits, but withdrawals are allowed, based on what I've read

Does anyone else find it insane that the US is trillions of dollars in debt but don't allow online gambling or sports betting or marijuana or prostitution that they could cash in on tax-wise?
Morality = debt
People need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that they can make money off of things that people do anyways

We're trying to gain dual citizenship in some other countries to withdraw the account. We're in the process of hiring a lawyer since we're worried about money laundering.

If the USA legalized and put a cigarette like tax on weed they'd make a killing. |

I've had a couple thousand in my account at one time, I can't imagine it just not being accessible all of a sudden.
Hopefully your able to withdraw your money in the near future.

He'd be putting himself into a situation where he could be considered a criminal. While gambling online is a criminal offense, I'd like to get things done legally here on out.
With that said, I'm taking another two week hiatus after free agency.
