Re: Collecting on a stake gone bad
[ QUOTE ]
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.
