How are you playing for money? The only way i have found is to go buy those reloadable visas, but ****, its like 7 bucks just to put money on it.

Some people have grown up credit cards ya know.

I have credit cards too, but the fcking president made it illegal to play online poker for money, hence why now i have to go through some bullsht just to play.

In other words, they wont take money out of an "american bank" to play online poker, it has to be from a 3rd party card or something. Not really sure of the specifics, all i know is i cant play partypoker anymore.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I thought that law only affected poker sites that were operating physically in the US.

Nope, thats what i thought as well, after reading online that peopler were playing. But they wont take money from an bank that is physically in the US either. So those reloadable visas at walmart are the only way to do it, or go to this one website that only takes visas ( i hvae mastercard, of course) and its like 7 bucks just to put money on it.

They did the same thing with other types of online gambling. There is an index that places bets on the winners of elections, etc. I wanted to participate but it is illegal for Americans to play.

I play at PokerStars and Full Tilt. If you want to play for real money at Full Tilt, be sure to download their fulltiltpoker.com version, not the fulltiltpoker.net version (same thing, but they offer the play money only version separately).

Yeah I used to play at PartyPoker all the time until they cut off everyone in the US. I know there are other sites and other ways to fund your account but its not worth it anymore. Probably better off for me since sometimes I'd come h ome drunk as a skunk and fire up my computer and proceed to lose hundreds of dollars!

well i just dont understand why everyone else can play without a problem and not me. That doesnt make much sense, but i know for a fact that everytime i try a online poker place they always decline my card because they wont accept money from a bank account that is in america. Fcking bullsht.

And i used to be able to pay my rent check with winnings off partypoker, so it really hurt me when that sht was signed into law.
