Its illegal in all US to play online poker.. And no, they dont report it to the IRS..Comment -
oh ok. but you would still get your money??Comment -
From what I remember, they couldn't actually make it Illegal for U.S. citizens to to game online on a federal level. But what they could do is make it Illegal for online gambling sites to "perform transactions with American financial institutions"
Therefore, Its State by State. Its legal here in California to play, a felony in the State of Washington but Illegal for banks in both states to do business with online gaming.
I'm a 10 year online poker veteran and all my payout checks have never mentioned anything to do with gaming and thus I've always been safe from scrutiny.
