Any risk involved?

[arthurkirkland]

New to the site, and more or less the world of off shore betting. I know that congress passed that law ~2 years ago making it harder to bet online, and i was wondering if there was any risk of criminal charges or something of that sort on my part in doing so? Particularly for something easily traceable like a credit/debit card.

Anything insight for a relative novice?

I am sure you are going to get a few different opinions. I hope you get the information you are looking for. Hope to see you around the board Kirklandy!

Death penalty for doing what you want with your own money, harsh but fair

You probably won't get a criminal charge but it may be harder to get your money out just bet at betjam or bookmaker or one of the other books at the top of the page and you should be fine

Just make sure your taxes are in good standings.

really? Does that apply to the casual better like me who just bets ~$20/game, and won't be cashing out for a ton of money?

basically i just like something to spice up the games i don't have a rooting interest in. i played with bodog last year for football, and it was really fun, but im starting to get the impression that maybe it isn't worth it?

For the casual bettor there's little to worry about in that department, much less with criminal charges, don't worry about it and enjoy the site. Try to get out of Bodog and stick with some one like BetJamaica or 5Dimes.

thanks a lot. I've always been the guy who was a little overly concerned when it comes to stuff like the music downloads, or online gambling. Just wanted to make sure i wouldnt be doing anything to make myself too vulnerable.
