Why do people keep saying online poker is illegal? Was there some legislation I haven't heard of?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not so much a question of legality as the fact that it is a contract based on gambling and historically, the courts of this country have been loathe to enforce those.

overseas gaming at that. therefore, no jurisdiction.

if the signed contract reads as a loan only, small claims would work, but may not be worth it.

if the contract mentions poker, fuggedabout it. your cash is gone.

it mentions that HE is a poker player. There is no mention of me getting any % of his profit. Just flat amount (with a few other conditions)
