Default Re: Online Poker Illegal??

Are the current laws, or any future, more explicit laws that may be passed enforceable? Probably not.

You must be joking. I could easily write a statute prohibiting playing online poker that would be enforceable.

I'm not exactly sure. I would imagine most people don't mention gambling online when filing taxes and saying whether they made this money online or not. Also, many of the companies are offshore, so I would assume they are out of the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government or any State gov'ts as well, so they couldn't be forced to give up user information.

I'm no legal expert, and if I'm wrong, that's fine. But I don't think it would be all that easy to enforce a prohibition on internet gambling.
