    Anyone actually ever get in trouble for online gambling?

    Have you or anyone you know ever actually get investigated by govt. agencies about online gambling? If so, what happened? This is mainly directed towards US citizens.

    Just curious.

    You wouldn't get in trouble for online gambling you would get in trouble for money laundering, illegal banking transactions, suspicion of terrorism/child pornography, etc.

    Nope. I noticed when I recieve money from a 3rd party bank after I withdraw from my sportsbook. My bank statement shows a website link of a phone service company instead of the website link of my sportsbook.

    The sportsbook that I withdraw from is very smart by doing that because most banks don't allow online gambling.

    for now nobody has ever been prosecuted for placing a bet online, even in very restrictive states like wisconsin

    then again, guys like al capone and pete rose did time for tax evasion after being investigated for other crimes
