Ryan Brown92 said:A quick little update regarding the gambling laws.

The amended law went into effect on January 1st, 2010. Under the old regulations, participating in online betting was technically prohibited, but there was no actual penalty for an individual (just us regular folks)

but...

The new law (specifically the part that affects us) states:

Chapter IX.

FOREIGN GAMBLING OPERATIONS

Article 68.
(1) It is prohibited:
..............

2. participating in foreign gambling operations if the stakes are being placed within the United States.

I find this clause completely idiotic, considering I could just claim I wasn't physically in the US when I placed my bet.

It seems more like this is aimed at people trying to use a middleman here in the States to funnel money abroad—in which case, both parties would be facing penalties.

Nowhere does it explicitly state that making payments via the web is illegal...

I've managed to fly under the radar until now, but lately, I'm wondering if it's smarter to just use something like PayPal. Even then, there's a catch—I’d have to explain the source of those funds to my bank. If I claim it's just some online freelance income, the IRS will come knocking, and by the time they take their cut, nearly half my profit is gone. Not worth it...

Just go open a non-resident account in Canada and withdraw the cash there. Grab a local debit card and use an ATM back here in the States. That's how I handle it. It keeps everyone else out of my business.

Alexander Hill2 said:And they think they can just fine me $10 $0.00 if I put $100 down on DraftKings... I’m not buying it. Once that money hits PayPal or MoneyGram, it’s out of the country, and there's no way for them to track if it was meant for betting...

No way. Besides, around here, they change laws faster than they change toilet paper. They're all idiots anyway...🙂

Ryan Brown92 said:A brief update regarding the new federal gaming regulations...

I intend to proceed as I always have. If this ends up in front of a judge, I’ll simply pay the fine and pack my bags for another country. Since this is my livelihood, I don't really have much of a choice...

Well, if you're planning on moving anyway, please don't bother paying the fine, haha 😁👍

thanks,

I suspect Unibet and those guys operating in America hold some sort of license...

Those lowlifes can go jump in a lake. This whole thing is a total dictatorship... They think they can just dictate how we spend our own damn money? I hope the lot of them rot...
