Obviously no one wants this, but I don't think it is.

Any casino game is, we can agree on that. (edit: Also, it should be noted that I think casinos are much stricter about carding for these)

However, the card rooms aren't if you have a positive expected winrate. Like I said, the x% of the time you get caught, you will get to keep your money almost all the time.

Say you lose your $500 buyin at 15/30 5% of the 50% of the time you get caught. That has an EV of -$12.50 for trying to sit. Note: I don't think that you will lose your buyin even close to this amount of the time. Probably ~0 of it.

I probably got carded about 25% of the time in vegas at cardrooms and I look about 20-21.

Also, when I was there with several underage people they managed to pokah underage.
