Re: Is this legal?
Like most chronic gamblers who are incapable of beating the game, I believe that this guy is in denial and refuses to admit he is completely incapable of beating the game. I do not believe his story.

Re: Is this legal?
The answer to the original question: yes it's illegal in the U.S. and just about everywhere else. You're defrauding the poker site and the other players. The fact that 1) the victims are overseas and 2) the game itself may be illegal are irrelevant. You are still winning money through fraud.
Finding someone interested in prosecuting may be another matter [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Re: Is this legal?
This sounds like total bs.
Now if your friend has a <font color="green">p</font><font color="red">a</font><font color="blue">t</font><font color="pink">t</font><font color="orange">e</font><font color="gray">r</font><font color="purple">n</font> <font color="red">m</font><font color="purple">a</font><font color="orange">p</font>...then it might be believable.

Re: Is this legal?
You continue to "assure" us of things.
I don't see that you have any credibility to your statements. Some of the things you have said tell me you don't know how all this works. Your mention of "IP addresses" clearly misses the key issue. It doesn't matter if you can spoof IPs. The security built into the software is going to pick up on all these players playing at the same table on a consistent basis. Furthermore, the action of proper collusion is very strange and also will be picked up by the software. These two facts alone are enough for them to take your money. They don't care if it's just one person using multiple accounts. Don't you think they have thought about a group of people from different areas of the globe colluding together? I'm sure you think it would be "soooooo easy", And there is "NO WAY" they could get caught. But the fact is, it's not that easy at all. I can "asssssure you" of that.

Even so, I call BS on this story. [/ QUOTE ] I do the same. My guess is the original poster was fishing for info. about this and wanted to deflect the attention away from himself.

Perhaps for you, but I assure you a programmer or two could setup a nice, nice system to make profits ridiculously, and the best part would be it could be completely automated once it's setup. [/ QUOTE ] So, in a month or two you could set up a AI for playing poker that is actually good? I think they got a research position for you at University of Alberta, as they've been struggling for a decade to build poker AI that's merely decent.
