Underaged Poker
My roomate's little brother has a PokerStars account and he is only 17. He has over 2,400$ on the account. What is the worst that could happen to him? I told Bob (my roomate) that this was probably an awful idea, but he said there was nothing to be worried about. Who is right?
Also, Bob has been sending his brother money on Poker Stars. His brother would build it up and then send it back to Bob in exchance for cash money. What do you all think of this? Also, are/have there been any underage online gamblers here? I know ZeeJustin was one. Anyone else? |

Re: Underaged Poker
Nothings going to happen to him. There is no way to track how old a person is. Unless the police raided his home, took his computer and found that he was playing online poker for money he won't get caught.
I started when I was underage (I'm not anymore), and my roomate is still underage. I'm sure there are a lot of them around. |

Re: Underaged Poker
Well that isn't neccessarily true. If they make cashouts to neteller or a bank account then you could be in trouble because they get all the info they need from the banks and neteller. But if you are playing under someone's name and have it going to their neteller or bank account they can't ever really find out. If you always win and transfer the money to another player insteand of withdrawing my guess is they would freeze the accounts eventually.

Re: Underaged Poker
Draggin an old thread up here. If a site like Party or Empire does find out you've been playing underage. Will they / can they seize your money?

He could be hit by a bus when crossing the road. Lori |

Re: Underaged Poker
Agreed. He could also be tried as an adult in some horrible axe-murdering crime. I say let em play.

Re: Underaged Poker
I'm not even sure if the authorities could do anything about it, since almost all sits are out of the US.
I started playing on-line (Party Poker) when I was 14 years old, for real money. I am not 15, and I'm actually doing real well on there. One more thing I feel I should say, is that for someone as young as I am, I wouldn't recommend it, because when you go on tilt, you just lose it. Luckily, I had some experience and after a while of playing on-line I was tilt free [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]....all that is needed is some emotional control. Last thing is I don't like the people that say "What's a 15 year old doing on these forums?" because in my opinion I think I know more about poker that a good amount of people on here. Later. -LBJ |
